It's Christmas, so a super saccharin imbue chapter of Vanilla Love...
Hopefully it turns out sweet instead of sour or salty...
There is no plot progress in this chapter, so don't get your hopes up.

Dear Diary,
Nice to meet you. This is the first time I am writing a diary, so I am not sure if I am doing it right... I am a Sophomore at XXX high school and my school life is pretty boring.
I am told by Dr. Henderson yesterday, to start writing a diary. He says that writing will help me overcome my shyness toward strangers. By writing about my own life, I can learn more about myself, build self-confidence and overcome my flaw. I have never thought shyness as a flaw until now. Being unable to communicate with people is indeed a big problem.
Lina, my best friend, is very supportive of this... but I guess she just wants to read embarrassing things I write about myself. I will definitely keep you away from her as much as possible.

Dear Dairy,
Today, I manage to see him again, the person who make me want to better myself. His name is Alan. I still don't know why I am attracted to him, as there are people more handsome and there are people more athletic... It somehow just happen...
This started a few weeks ago when I was reading fiction books in the library. As per my habit of glazing around imagining the stories in my mind, I saw him doing some written assignment a few tables away. Curiously looking at him for less then a second, he looked up suddenly and smile at me. Unlike something he displayed to others, this smile made my heart skipped a beat and I felt my face becoming warm.
Since then, every where I went, I could instinctively locate him in the crowd... and every time I looked at him, he would take less then a second to look back, then giving me that special smile of his... After the same situation happened many times, our roles somewhat switched. I would turn away from whatever I was doing, for no apparent reasons, to see him looking at me. In respond, I gave him my brightest smile. It made him blush slightly... On hindsight, I mostly had given him the same respond... now I really want to dig a hole and hide...
Nowadays, I am no longer awkward meeting his smile or giving him one. I yearn for the time when I can actually master up the courage to walk up to him... to talk... I don't know what we will chat about, but I want to at least be able to talk normally.

Dear Diary,
Today is the day I become a High School Junior.
Due to my good results in English Language and Literature, I am offered a seat in the student's council. I try to reject the position but Ms. Davis says it is just an honorable position with no strings attached... I hope everything will work out well. I don't think my meek nature will be suitable for a leadership position.
Luckily, Lina is with me, taking the role of Treasurer. If not for her, I don't think I will accept the post even if they force me to.

Dear Diary,
Today is the first day I take office as Student Council's Secretary. Just as Ms. Davis has said, there is nothing to do or be responsible for, just a room for members to spend their free time... I immediately load my new desk with books I want to read during future lunches and free time.
All is great except one small problem... Alan is the Vice-President. I have not expected to see him there and end up being shocked... Luckily, he hasn't notice... His grades are good, mostly around top 20 school-wide, but not excellent. I have never expected him to top the cohort and earn that place. Anyway, my heart isn't ready for this, so I bow to him before escaping the room.
There are many pros and cons with him being in the same room. Feeling flustered, I consult with Lina and even explain our gazes and smiles... she just tell me I am in 'heat'... what a rude girl... I think it is best to avoid the area for a while.

Dear Diary,
Today is a good day. I have thought it will be extremely bad when I find out I left the books needed for today's lessons in the Student Council room during my escape the day before. As I reach the room early in the morning, 15 minutes before lesson time, I find Alan sitting at his desk.
He greet me and I managed to squeeze out a “Hello” without stuttering. For others, saying simple words is something easy, but for me, it is almost a miracle... Although, I want to try some small talks, I think better to not push my luck too far... Alan knows of my condition so he silently return to his work while I take out a book to read... I can't concentrate on the text and end up counting my rapidly increasing heartbeat. Overall, we manage to spent some quiet time together, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Contrary to my happiness, Lina has the face of the demon. She doesn't want to tell me the reason, but she mention something about “parent's feuds should not be passed to their children”. I don't want to press her for reasons, as she will tell me when she feel that she is ready.
The only problem I have with Lina's tantrum, is the VR machine, what she called a 'gaming capsule', being placed in my care. This capsule thing has the size of a bed and takes up a good portion of my room. I don't know much about gaming, but my mum says the equipment is very expensive.

Dear Diary
Today, my private morning time with Alan is disrupted by the Student Council President called Luke. From rumors, nobody has ever seen Luke study, but he always top the grades... Some sort of a Genius... He is even exempted from most classes... Anyway, the disturbance Luke cause, is bringing a large machine into the Student Council Room. It is a capsule that looked just like the one I am holding for Lina.
I don't mind if Luke just bring unusual items to school, but what irritates me is Alan's attention become directed at that thing! Usually, Alan will only spent the mornings quietly with me, so I am slightly jealous about not being the only one having his attention... What is wrong with me, being jealous over a machine...
I eavesdrop on their conversation and find out that Alan recently start playing some game called RR which use the capsule. Luke, who has played it for longer, is giving him advices. They talk about being a knight, killing monsters, saving villagers... just like those fantasy novels I love. Even by just listening to their conversation, I become somewhat interested...
I ask Lina about RR... She replies with a “it is a fantasy world too difficult to describe in words...'” What kind of explanation is that? Lina then gives me a temporary account with a week of free access. Using the capsule I am still holding for her, I am told to play the game, in order to understand what this RR really is.

Dear Diary
Another day with my daily dosage of Alan. Our routine returned even after Luke's interruption the day before. My worst fear: Alan ignoring me for game discussions with Luke, did not materialize... Lucky!
I also have my first experience in RR today, I only have ONE word: Amazing!
It's like being reborn into a fantasy world with a medieval setting. In there, I get to see Knights in shinning armor, though they aren't very handsome as depict in novels. I also get to see magic... Lina is correct, the experience is not something that can be described in mere words
I spend a whole day reading up history of the lands, they are as interesting as fantasy novels. The best thing about the game is time, even after spending so much time reading, when I exit the capsule, only a 2 hours has passed... I can't imagine how many books I can read just for the 1 week free access.

Dear Diary
I have made an important decision today, I am going to play RR.
The 7-day free-trial pass quickly and during that time, I have covered half the contents of the library. The library I visit is actually rather small, since I start in a Castle rather then a city; Nekan Castle in the Kingdom of Dale.
From what I read, I locate lots of incomplete stories, as if the fables are waiting for someone to finish what the heroes within have started. Finding them somewhat anti-climatic, I grumble to Lina about the cliffhangers. Instead of being bored, listening to my complains, Lina instead ask me to list down some of those deficient tales.
I don't want to brag, but I have good memories. Writing down incomplete stories I read just a few days ago is really easy for me. Lina then sent a few emails, make a few phone calls and finally inquire if I am willing to sell those information for a thousand dollars each... I must say I am extremely embarrassed with the size of my mouth when she flash a mirror showing my reflection.
Lina explain that what I have reproduce is a quest for the game... A High Ranking quest to be precise... There is a network of gamers who pay for information similar to what I have just written. With the 8 open-ended stories I have recounted, I suddenly have funds to pay for over a year worth of RR subscription... If I sell the 14 other stories I found, I will have enough to buy myself a personal gaming capsule.
Since I already have her unit, I try to coerce Lina to trade hers for a new one. I don't like strangers in my room, even if they are just workers installing or removing a device. Sadly, Lina refuse... and she also refuse to remove her unit from my room... saying she is currently having a cold-war with her parents... The parents of the boy Lina fancy and Lina's parents... they have some old family grudge that prevents her to meet him... sounds like Romeo and Juliet... very complicated... better stay out of it...
Anyway, things turn out good because after trying to order my unit, the game company says they are out of stock; I will only receive my personal unit a month later... So I will keep using Lina's device until my own arrives. Convincing mum to let me buy the game takes longer, but at least she agree to my terms, not like Lina...
Since I have somewhat finish reading most of the books I am interested, in Nekan Castle Library, I intend to start again somewhere with a bigger and better library. Lina suggest Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim... It is the new frontier city so the contents in the library will be rich, information gain can also be sold at a higher price.
Lina then cheekily suggest I switch genders in the game. Her argument is that I am trying to overcome my shyness, so by becoming male, I am force to talk with other males... She also mention that I may have an alter-ego that is totally extrovert and it is restricted by the feminine rules I grow up with... I think she just wants to watch me make a fool of myself...
Since RR is only a game, gender is only for appearance, it doesn't matter much since I intend to spent most of my time doing my favorite activity... reading... Also, if chaos breaks loose, I can still delete and recreate... With such line of thoughts, I accept Lina 'Dare' and make a male male Avatar called Gene. My friends call me Jean instead of Jeanne, and Gene sounds similar, I pick this name so I don't get confuse over people calling me.

Dear Diary
It has been 5 days since I start playing RR. Life still move at the same pace, just with a daily dosage of Alan, I am happy... the difference from before is I am now spending 2 hours daily in the game called RR.
Within RR, I am facing a crisis. Playing the game is very unlike having a temporary account. The avatar needs food. Being hungry makes me edgy and requires twice the amount of concentration to just read... I even gain a stat for the excessive mental strain. I can somewhat understand why there are so few scholars in ancient times, they mostly cannot withstand hunger.
Anyone who says Hunger drives Creativity doesn't know what they are talking about. Hunger for knowledge is very different from Hunger for food... Staying hungry for too long isn't wise either... Yesterday, I just died because of it... That means I am forced out of the game for 24 hours. Today, I need to do something about satiation.
There is the option to buy game money using cash, but that seems like increasing my monthly game subscription cost... I don't like it... Lina suggest I learn money making crafts or take jobs. A scribe can earn some by copying works while a librarian is a job that can gain me some coins.
Thinking back on Ms.Davis lesson, I think I want to do something related to Chemistry. The way she teaches the subject makes me very interested. Although I don't score well in Chemistry, I am intrigued by the way chemicals combine to form new ones. Telling Lina about what I have thought of, she advice me to check out on Alchemy and Potion making.
Gene, my avatar in RR, after reading all about potion making, has now learn the skill Apothecary. Trying to explain the difference between Apothecary and Alchemy to a gamer is a waste of time... to them, both are potion makers... That is what I learn when telling Lina about the skill.
Unlike Alchemy which requires specific formulas, Apothecary can mix and match, replace and substitute, creating variations. For example:
- In Alchemy, to make a greater healing potion, an Alchemist needs red herbs, spring water and troll blood. Very specific formula and it can't be changed.
- Apothecary on the other hand can substitute spring water to fountain water, troll blood to pig blood. The outcome will be weaker, but it is still better then a minor healing potion.
Lucky me as I find a butcher willing to give me the blood of the cattle he is slaughtering. Along with the red herbs I gather near the library, I mix them into potions beside the fountain, the water source for new players. My first try ends in a bloody mess... literally... staining a small area in blood... but on consecutive tries, they work out well. Putting the potion into my drinking canteen, I got my first potion for sale.
Talking to NPCs is not much easier then talking to humans, but they are more patient and tolerate my inability to talk. Selling the product is rather easy as I don't bargain, the stall keeper is skeptical at first, but gives me pointers after she understand my plight. The first thing I learn from the kind lady stall keeper is that putting potions in anything other then glass reduces its effectiveness. I end up using part of my first profits to buy some glass vials for my later creations.

Sunny day, bright and warm. Alan still look cool and dashing, but it seem to be only to my eyes. Others just look at him as a cheerful, smart student that is good at sports... Not that I mind, I don't want competitors as I am yet to be able to talk to him normally yet... My limit is now monosyllables as replies to his questions.
It is great day today, Lina finally want to cart her capsule home. Her gamer self cannot stand my constant boosting of my game success. I have earn myself a small fortune both in and outside the game, by selling information and vials of potions respectively. I don't intent to tell her I have only been reading and making potions all this time... she will scream at me for being only lv9 after a full month of playing... Better find a party and level up before meeting with her.
As the workers from the game company install my new capsule, they then cart Lina's unit back to her place. Due to the high subscription cost and the device itself, price of moving those game-capsules somewhat becomes insignificant. Maybe it is due to my bank account swelling many times larger then previously, I think I need to relearn the value of money.
Agreeing to meet during the weekend, I spend much time trying to gain more levels... But there must be a stupid stupid moron to hinder my progress. This idiotic player goes around digging pit traps and filling them with mud. He doesn't try to stay incognito, rather, he laughs at people who falls for his pranks. I end up falling into not one, but two of those. He makes me so angry I camp cripple him... Not actually killing, but rather, I just break his legs, force him crawl around, healing him when his health goes low... since he likes to create misfortune, I put all the misfortune he created back into him.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
With that stupid, idiotic moron, I waste most of my online time today, unable to level up. There are 4 more days till meeting with Lina, so this put a small dent in my mood.... but not enough to turn me away from being cheerful...

Dear Diary
Weekend... a little lonely because I don't get to see Alan... but today I get to see Lina in the game.
Lina has started playing a few days ago. I use some excuses so I can try gain some levels before meeting her, therefore, today will be our first meeting in the game. To help with my leveling speed, I have taken the Druid class days ago. No players want to party with a classless person, not to mention someone extremely quiet. But being a silent druid is very much like role-playing, so people approach and party me without any need to talk. Knowing that I provide potions in addition to using healing spells, I have become a rather popular silent druid standing at the southern gate.
It feels a little strange, but Lina's father actually sent his brother to watch over her... how protective can a father be? Or maybe how much feud can those two families have?? I think I better not concern myself with weird business... I can lend her a ear, but I don't want to get involved. However, if Juliet wants to die for her Romeo, I will stop her... I think I am over-thinking things again...
Anyway, I have Lina on friend-list by sharing contact with Uncle Thomas... I have been friends with Lina since young, so Uncle Thomas is someone I can talk with. He plays RR too, working as a merchant. Since he is also in Serabroug, he happily buys my potions in bulk. With hunting, I am able to collect rabbit blood easily, so I am making Potions and Antidotes using those.
Lina contact me somewhere during the early morning (game time) asking for antidotes. Curious of why she need them when she cannot even leave the city due to newbie protection, I agree to meet her near the orphanage called 'Shelter of the homeless'... There is only one orphanage in this city, so it isn't hard to locate.
Meeting Lina, she is with another girl, someone I feel I know, yet cannot put my finger to... and there is an emergency. Both of the girls, a rabbit and a squirrel are all poisoned. After helping them out of their situation, I am introduced to this bright and bubbly girl who calls herself Bunny. Lina then send me on an errant to retrieve a whole lot of animals while she visit the church with this new entity.
With many things happening, I somehow end up with a special Druid class, Animistic Druid. To put things simply, Druids are something like a Priest, but they adore Nature instead of Gods. Druids mostly have skills related to plants as their targets of worship are usually Great Oak Trees. Animistic Druid on the other hand, is slightly different, they deify animals instead of plants.
Oh, I have not mention yet, Lina is actually short for Angelina. As for her game name, she uses Angel as a handle. How I envy her to have dual names for dual purpose... I have to call her Angel in game, Lina in school... while she only need to call me Jean or Gene which sounds the same regardless.
Anyway, after lots of Drama which I don't want to list out, our group, consisting of Bunny, Angel and me, are given a special high rank quest. It is about raising simple rabbits into the Sentient Rabbit-Humanoid race. Suddenly, I feel very excited, not the normal kind, but the extremely type. Unlike all the tales of fantasy I have read, this time, I will be part of the great adventure... Not just reading, but actually being involved.

A week has pass, since my meeting with Lina and Bunny. The three of us are now on a great quest... a slow one that is. I am not into fighting, so being delegated to observe a small party of animals fighting in my place fits me better, even if I am not leadership material. Standing behind my little army, I just have to make sure they are healthy and well... rather easy job I must say.
Following Bunny's example, I also try to learn more about strategies. Placement of troops and giving instructions to squads instead of individuals. This also spur an interest into war-related books I usually skip. Being exposed to warfare, even if it is mini-scalar, I can now better relate to how those commanders feel when moving their army as if those are their limbs.
The whole topic about being a strategist is very interesting. After reading many books about them, I can now appreciate why Great Generals garner so much attention and love from the people. With tactics, a small group of soldiers can win over enemies many times their number, sometimes even without casualties.
It may sound as simple as making use of landscapes and natural obstacle, but theories and practices are very different things. From the 'War of Rodents', our rabbits against sewer rats, I have tried to put a number of theories into actual situations, but results are rather bleak. Our side have not lost anything but the majority of my theories backfire and increase the difficulty instead of making things easier... I need more training on be a strategist.

My ability to talk with Alan has improved. Today I am able to complete a sentence without stuttering. His smile tempted me to talk more, but I rather run with a small win then to lose everything by pushing forward too much. Seeing me beaming, Alan give me a thumbs-up at my effort, that really accelerate my already fast-beating heart.
Today is really exciting, other then my improvement with Alan, there preparation for events in RR. Tomorrow, my group will be taking over a famous dungeon: Lair of Livart. Unlike what others are doing, just raiding, collecting loot and leaving, Bunny has thought up a plan to keep this dungeon as our personal property.
Bunny is a Breeder... a special type that can build ranches anywhere and everywhere. She intend to circle the Lair and trick other players into thinking the game-company is doing maintenance, thus leaving this place for our own personal use. Lina and I help iron out some of the flaws in this bold plan. This use of deceit and propaganda via NPCs and game forums, it is not something I can come up with.
I am not a gamer, but from books I read, I know this is not something a Hero will do... However, from non-conventional tales, it feels totally like what a Chaotic-Good Protagonist will try in order to achieve his or her objectives. As we are doing a high rank quest, we will need a private training ground, this fits the picture perfectly...
I read enough to know that being honorable is a thin line away from being stupid, so I like our setting much more. Being unscrupulous when achieving our aims while keeping a good heart to help people if we can... Lina laugh at my revelation because she has already expected my responds. She explains that in games, a successful gamer is one who being seen as selfless while being selfish... Her logic makes me think about how deep gamers are becoming...

The conquest of the Liar of Litvart is a success. The general public have no idea we have claimed such a popular dungeon to ourselves. Asking Uncle Thomas to check with the nobles, Lina has confirmed that even the officials in the city think the Lair has been cleared and destroyed.
While exploring the Lair, our little group find some worm looking monsters that are hidden deep within. When I first see these worms, I accidentally blurt out 'Cute'. It is not that I like worms or millipedes, but due to a skill my avatar have, I can see how it will look as an accessory.
The Class my avatar has is Animistic Druid. It comes with a unique skill called Animal Accessories. Whenever I see an new creature that is tamable, it can visualize it as an accessory. Instead of a worm monster that everyone else sees, what I visualize using my skill, is a classy looking bracelet, 2cm thick, consisting of a single row of segmented scales overlapping in a clockwise direction, with the aligned pieces looked like a part of a scale mail. That is the target of my comments, but sadly I just get suspicious looks from Bunny and Lina.
While on the topic of my skill: Animal Accessories. The first Animal Companion I have, is a Great Red Bear. It is actually a bear-cub orphan I find while looking for a suitable companion in the forest. After viewing it, I know it can become an scarlet cape, with a small teddy-bear head acting as a hasp between my collar-bones. Finding the design irresistible, I have taken the bear-cub in as both a pet and a companion.
I also look at the Rabbits, Cats, Squirrels and Minks we are raising, but none make good accessories. Rabbits become hairbands with protruding ears... similar to what Bunny has, while Cats and Squirrels are both belts that come either a random swinging tail or a fluffy bush. All scream too much of 'cosplay' which I am not interested in. Minks are avoided for a different reason, they become mufflers and it look too much like a dead corpse I have to wear around my neck... I guess I am influenced too much by videos on animal cruelty...

Today as I enter the Student's Council room, it is rare that Luke isn't around, his capsule lies empty. Unlike normally where he sits calmly at his desk, today Alan looks shifty. Moving towards the door, he locks it then say: “Finally we are alone, no Luke around”
Advancing towards me and pulling me into a passionate kiss. I moaned against his lips, his hands slipping up to cup both sides of my face. Pulling me into a deeper kiss, his tongue swirling around mine, exploring my mouth. I felt his hardening manhood pressed against my lower stomach as he bent over me slightly kissing me even harder.
Alan walked me slowly backwards until my butt was touching my desk. I opened my eyes and tried pulling away from him. Looking around, I could see the windows covered giving us all the privacy we need... Having no more worries, I allow him to lifted me up onto my desk, flipping my skirt up as he did so; Shaking my hips seductively, I gave him an inviting smile before laying back, spread out for his enjoyment.
Stupid Stupid Lina!!!

Sorry for having no updates, I lost you for a while, but luckily Lina finds you before others... then again, I think it is not so lucky since she is the one. I now have one entry of weird writings.
There are lots of updates so I will be brief.
First, my progress with Alan is still smooth sailing, we can now able to exchange simple sentences... more like I can now say more. It isn't too far from when we can chat normally. I look forward to the time when we can both enjoy ourselves telling each other jokes and little things about ourselves.
For RR, lots of things happened.
First and foremost, we have a huge battle more then a week ago. It was a fight between 500 animals against 500 bandits. As we have 3 heroes, myself included, they have 2 Boss-Monsters, namely a Succubus and an Incubus. The battle is orchestrated by me, after reading many books on strategies and testing many theories out during dungeon raids, I have become proficient in planing of battles.
During the war against bandits, my teammates place the job of a strategist on my shoulders. Without failing them, I have grasped victory rather easily. It is also in this battle that I see another side of the active, funny, bubbly girl Bunny. Having her kiss stolen by the Incubus, she went crazy and tortured that being to death... I sympathize with her as I can relate... If someone other then Alan takes my first kiss, I will surely go crazy too...
With the winning of the battle, our group is given a chance to govern over an area that consist of 3 villages. As a Druid, my skills are related to the wilderness, so I relinquish my chance. Lina also reject the post due to her religious status as she is playing a Priestess. Bunny has the job but we will be splitting the responsibility and revenue equally.
Talking about revenue, Bunny has astound me previously for being able to gain coins without actually working. Even Angel, a self-proclaim great gamer, is awed by the unorthodox method of income. Bunny explains them as 'Passive Income', which I look up on and read many related books upon. By making both her ranches autonomous and self-running, she only need to collect the profits at regular intervals.
With 'Passive Income' in mind, Lina and I start working out a plan to live off the newly acquired region. With much brain-storming, we produce the concept of a central market. By making a market that is accessible to the locals, we can become middleman on every produce of the village nearby. If successful, we will be earning double tax, with happy residence instead of angry ones.
Oh, with regards to the manor we obtain along with the lands, the three of us agree to try making our own personal Demon Lair. I happen to know of the skill Portal that can open a gateway to other realms. With this skill, I am able to allow creatures from other realms to visit our manor house... then killing them for exp.

Cleaning up my room today since today is a Friday, I locate a photo album of myself when I am younger. From a toddlers till just last year, all my precious memories are file into this Album. Looking at a photo of myself crying, it brings me back to the time...
The event happened when I first enter High school. During the school orientation, one of the seniors approach me and declared his fell for me at first sight. Being as meek as I am, I just shouted a NO! into his face before dashing off. I didn't think I would be confessed to, since I could easily point out many girls cuter or prettier then me... even Lina looks better.
This senior was actually a jerk. Being rejected, he spread rumors of me, shadowing his rejection as some great fault of mine. People started avoiding me as if I represented plague and death. If not for Lina, I would had quit school or transfer elsewhere. Lina countered his rumors with half-truths, feeding the rumor-mill that my family forbade me having a relationship until I start college. Using my shyness and unwillingness to talk to any male, her reasoning overwhelm the other side... Thinking back, it became fond memories instead of fearful anticipation... Rather glad Lina actually snap a picture of my ugly crying face as a memento...
The event also reminds me of Alan. I remember him writing a letter to me, saying that he will wait until we are in college... Thinking the rumors true, he has patiently waited since, helping me slowly overcome my shyness. I don't have the courage to tell him those are only rumors because I want to only be by his side when we can talk like lovers... currently, it is still one sided, as I sometimes still stutter unconsciously due to nervousness.
With my progress, I believe we can even forward the date, starting a beautiful tale between us before leaving high-school. Time may be short, but I believe it is on my side, as I grow more fond of him with every passing day... I think he feels the same too.
In RR, nothing much happens, with me struggling on doing tests on opening a portal to the demon realm. The pathway itself isn't a problem, the bloodstones use as lure are working as intended too. The delay is from me being only able to lure weak imps.
Bunny will be hosting a meeting tomorrow to update ourselves on the current events. I think I can get some different perspective from her unique ways of thinking. Lina is also busy this whole week working on the different villages we oversee. She seems to be influenced by Bunny and concoct some devious plans... something about monopolizing the cutlery market... I will hear from her tomorrow.
Talking about Bunny, I find her to be slightly similar to my Alan. The way the frown, their smiles, their laughter, things that make them wince... very similar... But unlike Alan, I can talk fluently with Bunny...
Maybe because she is a girl? Maybe because we spend more time together?
Anyway, Dr. Henderson has taught me a trick today. It is to imagine people to be someone I am close to. Just like how Dr. Henderson looks and acts similar to Uncle Thomas, I am more comfortable in his presence then other doctors. Thinking about it, I have been doing so unknowingly... Even for Ms. Davis who teaches Chemistry, I have not yet stutter while talking to her because they way she carries herself reminds me of my mother.
Using this little trick, I think I am going to overlap Bunny onto Alan. If I can talk with Alan as I am with Bunny, maybe I can improve more.

Thanks for Supporting Bunny all through Vol.1...
