3rd Teddy Bear [Video][Eaaaarly morning of the 15th]

[Elicia is totally grown-up. I mean, she's five whole years old! And as such, she of course needed her own room with her own little bed. One little issue: she doesn't quite enjoy the heavy rain and thunderstorm outside. She has made a resolute promise to herself that she wouldn't run like a bat out of hell into her father's room, even if the noises and colors scare her silly. And like all little kids, she doesn't realize that promises like these are silly, because that's what papas are for anyway, right?

The journal opens quietly as she hides under her blankets in her sleeping gown, frowning into her hands.

And yes, it's about 1 in the morning. Some of you must be up, right?]


When you're scared, what do you do to make it all better?

[She makes a squeaky noise when another loud boom of lightning flashes.]

I-I mean, if someone is scared... and stuff...

[It's awfully late for such a young-sounding child to be awake -- not a good thing. Ayumu's own voice is low, lest she wake anyone else at her home who might be trying to sleep.]

Is there anyone else there with you? Sometimes it helps just to know you're not alone.

Oh, I see.

Well, maybe he's scared of the thunder, too? You could go check on him and make sure he isn't lonely.

I think it might be nice to have someone with me during a storm like this. Maybe you should just go ask him if he wants you to sit with him so he doesn't get scared?

[Her smile is pretty much audible at this point.]

Oh, then don't wake him up! Just go sleep next to him. Then if the thunder wakes him up he'll see you're there and it'll comfort him.

You're very welcome. Try to get some sleep, hmm? You wouldn't want to be tired in the morning.

I'm Ayumu. We can talk more later, when it isn't time we should both be sleeping. Hmm?

Good night. Sleep well.
