Happy Valentine’s Day!

Satoko + 3 years?!?

It was a blustery, snow day for me.

I lost my last pair of pants to the snow and sleet. They’re still thawing out in the common room, and when they dry, I can finally put them back on and go downstairs to get my dinner. Classes got canceled but the Valentine’s Day celebration wasn’t, so I gorged myself on free chocolate and éclairs.

See? That’s what’s great about Valentine’s Day. You can take advantage of the couples and get tons of free food. ^^ Another great thing was that both of my roommates left the room for the entire night to be with their boyfriends, so I was able to do whatever I wanted for the night. ^_^

I didn’t receive anything from guys, but that doesn’t really matter to me. I’m more excited about my upcoming weekend trip to JoAnn’s to pick up more cosplay material.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Episode 25: Tsumihoroboshi Chapter 4 - Invasion of Earth

Summary

Rena has left her home for good, so she and Officer Oishi converse via the one and only public phone in Hinamizawa. Oishi informs her that the Sonozaki household may be after her because she possesses Takano’s research notes and Takano’s time of death is calculated to be before the Watanagashi Festival. Therefore, the woman who she met on the night of the festival actually might have been a zombie.
Keiichi and Mion are still searching for Rena. Mion admits that she had the chopped-up remains of Rina and Teppei dug up from their original dump site so to cover up Rena better. After she rides away on her bike, Keiichi suddenly gets an epiphany about where Rena might be hiding.
