You are so sad. Why won’t they pay attention to you? And why can’t you destress?“Excuse me miss,” comes a soft voice.You turn to see a teen nearby with a small smile.“My name is Thomas, I’ll be your host today. Would you come with me please,” he introduces while holding his hand out.You didn’t and Thomas lowers his hand but still guides you until to a table next to an aquarium in the center of the room. He helps you into your seat before taking his own. Tea, tea cakes and various biscuits are already there on the table.“May I ask why you are here Miss Baby,” Thomas wonders.You vent about your problem, which causes Thomas to frown. When you finish, he sighs from behind his cup.“So you can’t relax and your caretaker is too busy,” Thomas mutters while setting his cup down. “It’s not easy to stop being an adult but it’s just the little things that you do that helps you to relax. Like deep breathing exercises or finding a teacher who can teach you tai chi or yoga.”Those don’t sound appealing…“Those help you with breathing and to not feel so stressed out,” Thomas explains. “And finding a system to keep you organized or finding some people who can help you reach a goal of being organized. If you have a network of supportive people reaching a common goal, it relieves stress too.”Sounds reasonable.“As for your caretaker, they probably have problems you aren’t aware of or something happened to them. Give them some space and let them talk to you if they need it or you can approach them to show that you care about them too,” he continues. “Sometimes its better not to know a lot.”

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Shingen looked down at himself. This was certainly a change. He wore jeans and a shirt as he lounged on one of the couches. It was a chilly afternoon but still sunny as he noticed a young woman hovering at the entrance of the Host Club. He rose and made his way to her with a soft smile,his voice low but carrying a certain weight. “Good day to you young lady. Are you looking for me per chance?” She blushed and nodded as he gestured in front of him. “It seems I will be your Host today. My friend will also join us soon enough.Shall we?’’ She followed him to the table he was sitting in the table he had vacated previously. He had already asked the server to bring in tea and cakes and he was arriving just then. He rose and poured the young woman the tea and offered her a couple of the cakes. “Here you are my dear.chocolate.” She had some tea and started picking at the cake when he spoke once more. “Now would you tell me what’s the matter?No one should be sad in such a lovely day”

  She started talking and he leaned back on his chair listening attentively. His features softened as he nodded. “A love is never easy to let go of.Especially when it’s gone. The memory of it always lingers heavy.But it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It can be a way for you to grow. Show you what you need to look for. It is a way better way to look at it than to wallow hm? There is no need to rush.Love will come in the right moment. When you least expect it. Believe me.”

A series of loud feet caught her attention and she turned to see Yukimura, in modern clothes, rushing in and trying to catch his breath.

“Sorry I’m late Your Lordship,” he breathed out. “What did I miss?”

She recounted what she told Shingen while feeling sad all over again. A loud scrape made her glance up to see Yukimura blushing over how he’d pulled his chair out with Shingen sighing. As he plopped himself down, Yukimura’s brows furrowed.

“I’m no expert in love but… whatever happened, just look for someone new,” he sighed. “You don’t want to be hung up on some jerk just because of what they have done to you. It may help you with looking for a new guy.”

(And I left the hospital around 6:20pm. My surgery was supposed to be 1-1/2hrs long. It ended up being 3. My anesthesiologist kept me under, so I didn’t wake up. They even let me keep my stuffed (yes, stuffed. It’s a comfort thing for me) dragon with me during surgery. All in all, despite it being a bigger surgery than originally planned, everything turned out okay, but I’m not allowed to go into public until late December. Any movement could jar and disturb my surgery area.I have a ton of pain pills I have to take and there’s a machine that’s helping me move my leg, but I’m getting there. My biggest challenge now is fighting boredom and being alone. Starting next Monday, I won’t have anyone at the house with me. So, again, thank you so much for replying. It really brightened up my day today. I can’t thank you enough. ❤️❤️❤️ 3/3 Let me know how I could possibly thank you)

Dui smiles as you tell him what happen during your surgery and your recovery.

“You are very welcome~ And that’s wonderful Chivalry,” he cheers. “To be able to have something to comfort you was great too~ The Wishes Department heard your wish and granted it for sure~”

‘Too bad about the boredom but I bet you are able to come up with ideas to counter it,’ Shadow Dui comforts.

“Though I feel like you are able to even meet people without moving,” Dui brings up. “Those video chats with friends and family are one way to help. Another is those anime or other TV shows that you can watch. I may not have as much recommendations for books to read while in bed, but that is another way to help cure boredom and not feel lonely.”

'Do you have any hobbies that you are able to do from bed? I think there are some that you can do while… but I don’t remember what they are…’ Shadow Dui grows quiet as he realizes that he’s out of ideas.

Dui falls quiet and soon a flurry of feet has you turning to see a young man with royal blue kimono and grey hakama flapping as he hurries over.

“You called Lord Dui,” the young man asks in a slightly feminine tone.

“Ya think? I can’t think of anything that she can do or learn from being in bed,” Shadow Dui snaps.

“Um… okay… lemme see… I know there is knitting and crochet… drawing with oil, pen, pencil or digitally are more options… learning to make something from YouTube videos that won’t have you leaving the bed… hm… If you are an artist or writer, bring to life an adventure you’d like to go on,” she lists. “That’s all I can think of but I bet she is able to think of more ideas that are more her cup of tea.”

“Thank you Serenity,” Dui sighs in relief. “And for a way to thank us… The best is to take good care of yourself mentally and physically while you recover.”

“You’ll do great,” Serenity assures. “Just don’t ever give up hope or that your end goal is to become better. Those will give you more power to continue.”

“You are going to do great~,” Dui cheers.

“It is okay to ask for outside help. Asking for outside help doesn’t mean that you are weak. It means that you are strong enough to know that there is more strength when here are others helping you,” Serenity advises.

“That’s right. And please follow everything that the doctor says. It’s another thing you are able to do to thank us. There is nothing more than knowing that you are getting better is more than plenty for thanks,” Dui nods. “You’ll make it.”

Hideyoshi smiles, “You are most welcome Nii-sama~ And like before, I’m always here if you need me~ And Serenity-sama is happy too~”

(Akira 2/3) unfortunately I have no one to train. The replacement left town before they started, which is why I’m going through this mess alone. We havent found a replacement yet but im not holding out. I live in a remote town - reliable, competent workers are scarce out here. I have written a procedure manual for my job, though it’s not quite complete. I’m hoping that would be enough to get the next receptionist through next year’s season.(Akira 3/3) But thank you for the advice, and thank you Mod Serenity for being wonderful ~♡ it makes me feel a little less alone in the world ♡

"Uh... You’re welcome I guess,” Masamune blushed. “Just... just wait until someone can help out... And um... leave the shortcuts and tips in that... whatever you call it...”

“Hello,” came a happy voice and you turned to see a young man with silvery hair with a grey vest over his pink shirt.

“I’m Meguru Kamui. Nice to meet you~,” he introduces himself. “What’s your name?”

You give him your name.

“Mya-san is a beautiful name,” he smiled. “ ... Eh? Where’s Huedhaut-san? ... He’s actually really busy someplace else. ... Would you like to come with me to someplace?”

After getting a nod from you, Meguru guides you to the... kitchen?! You were about to give him a funny look when a man with a black bandana on his head stormed over whom was stopped by a man with green hair and guided over to another area. The green haired man turned his head, revealing an eye patch over his right eye, winked at Meguru. Meguru nodded back at the man then turning back to you. 

“Let’s hurry and get to my station before Nathan-san gets upset over me bringing visitors into the kitchen again. But I feel more comfortable here than in the club,” Meguru explained as he motioned for you to follow him.

And you did. Both of you went to a table set up with delicious cake pops and doughnut holes ready to be frosted and set up for display in the bakery.

“So may I hear what your reason is for visiting today,” Meguru wondered.

With tears in your eyes, you explained to Meguru about the yelling and fighting between your parents and the things your dad has said. Meguru’s eyes lost their happy light for a bit before he hold up a chocolate cake pop up. Okay... now you were really lost and gave him a funny look for real. Meguru chuckles at that.

“It may not seem like much but there are those who need chocolate to cope but without the cocoa powder needed, there won’t be any chocolate at all,” he explains. “Just like how you are important to your mom or whomever your true friends are? ... Huh? What do I mean by true friends? They’re friends who’ll stay by your side and won’t ever leave you alone. They may be siblings or fellow classmates or people you are familiar with.”

Yeah... but what did that have to involve with a cake pop?

“I’ll be honest in that my mom only sees me as a tool and not that many people like me,” Meguru admitted sadly as he set the cake pop back down, leaving you shocked momentarily. “The only people who really cared about me were my dad, older brother Kakeru, Shiki, Haruhito, and Satoru. Even when I wasn’t feeling happy, I focused on helping them in whatever way I can. Much like how some people would enjoy a sweet or ice cream to help themselves.”

Oh... Now the cake pop analogy made more sense. A small sweet but it is beneficial in other ways.

“If things get worse, try finding a relative to stay with or ride a bicycle or scooter to someplace where you can feel safe,” Meguru advised as he held out a frosting knife towards you. “Anything that can help you get away physically instead of mentally. But if you can draw, write or make something from your imagination, that’s great too. I mostly cook, bake or take care of plants but Serenity-san draws things she can daydream about and often writes stories with them. ... You don’t have to be that good at drawing. You can also make collages or something from art materials. Believe me. If you can channel your energies elsewhere or physically escape, life would be easier but not all the way better. It’s up to you to decide how your future would be. Just don’t give on living. If you do give up on living, you give up everything else, including your dreams and hopes and future.”

He holds your hands in his. 

“Please Mya-san. Don’t ever give up. If anything, I’ll always be here for you. If you ever need someone to talk to again, I’ll be here as well as Huedhaut-san. If you are gone, both of us will be sad,” he continues. 

(Natsu) He left home about 2 months ago, and I decided since then to stop any type of communication with him because I don’t really feel like I should keep talking to him. My mom has been trying to get me to see him, but I don’t want to. And I’m starting to frustrate so much about her pressuring me that last time she send me a message about it, I was in class and I burst out crying. She is imposing on me to visit him and that bothers me because (2/4)(Natsu) when he was here I was always feeling bad. I ended up going to therapy last year because of him, since he was always yelling at me and saying I was the worst daughter he could ever had, that he didn’t know what did he do to deserve something as bad as me. So, being honest, when he got out of here I was glad. But my mom is saying she doesn’t want me to ignore him and to stop talking to him, but I can’t bring myself to do as she says, and so we’ve been arguing (¾)(Natsu) and I don’t like it cause I know she only wants me to “not lose my dad”, but she doesn’t understand that he has never been a father to me. So it has been really stressing for me, and last weekend she tried to joke about it, and I ended up having a panic attack cause I thought she was driving us to his place. She only wants me to be “in peace” with him. But I can’t be when I know he was always complaining about me. I don’t know how to make her understand it. And I’m tired. (4/4)

Kojuro walked to where Natsu waited in the lounge with a frown on his face. This wasn’t his best topic nor Serenity’s. What was he to do?

“Hey Kojuro,” came a cool voice,

He looked up to see Hydra, the Western monster without his Aura flaring, walking up to him.

“What is it that you need Hydra-sama,” he inquired.

“There’s something I’d like to show you,” he replied as he pulled his phone out.

Kojuro sighed. Technology wasn’t his favorite… It was only ten minutes later that Kojuro was able to meet Natsu in the waiting area.

“Hello Natsu-sama,” he smiled. “Would you like to come with me?”

After a nod of approval from her, Kojuro actually led her away from the club and to the same hill where he’d played his flute for her. Again a picnic was set with a good shade overhead. They both sat down.

“Would you please tell me what is troubling you? You don’t seem any happier,” he sighed.

Natsu told him everything about how her relationship with her father is as well as her mother not understanding her and her decision on not meeting her sister. Kojuro’s brows furrowed as he contemplated. This is really out of his expertise. He didn’t have parents growing up and his sister raised him while Serenity’s is such a mess he can barely comprehend it... 

“I’m sorry Natsu-sama but I can’t really say much about this. But if your mom can’t see how verbally abusive he is, then there isn’t much that can be done. You may try family counseling but be careful in finding one. It won’t be easy since your father may deny what he’s done and your mother would still be the same so research and study the local family counselors in your area. Another is if you have family you can go and stay with who you are more comfortable with, see if you can stay with them. You’re old enough to make your own decisions,” Kojuro began. “Now... let me see... damn... I knew that this modern technology is hard...”

Again Natsu giggled as Kojuro struggled to bring something up. Then he showed her the screen of his touchscreen phone a website.

“If those family counselors can’t help, consult with this website. But if your depression gets worse, seek professional help,” he added sternly. “I am not a professional but all I can do is provide support and keep on believing in you, my lady.”

He then gives her a hug.

“Don’t worry. I’ll always be here if you ever need me,” he comforted.

With a nod and few tears of relief Natsu smiled before they enjoyed their picnic.
