Though no-one's really spoken of it yet (except for Az and some others when it was brought up. That was how I learnt of it), I know Fall Festival is very near. I'm tingling with excitement. I have a Fall Festival token in my bank, but I'm wondering if I should try a hand at making my own costume as well. Though making a dress for the ball (that I never attended) was rather hard. Maybe I'll just see what costume my token brings and then decide!

Either way, you can feel the excitement in the air. Not really around the adventurers, but around the citizens who roam the streets. They're all getting ready for it, I think. It makes me step lighter and makes me smile a little bit more. I'd be smiling even more if Sephy would be here to share this special time with me, but...I wonder where he's gone? The last time we talked was after I failed to attend the ball, and there seemed something off about it. And the last time we met face to face? How long ago was that?

I can't help but feel a bit scared. The only thing that's keeping me stable enough is the belief that what we share is special. Something that doesn't happen to every man and woman. True love. Yes, I know it sounds mushy but...I just believe that's what it is. I don't think I could ever love another man. Not after Sephy. Not after this love. This love that taught me what love truly was. What we have is truly special.

But yes...Fall Festival is soon, and I can't wait.
