Ugh, I'm so tired... It's been a while since the cultural festival, and I still don't feel like I'm back to normal. I can't tell if I need more sleep, or if I'm sick, or... I don't know what to do. We've been so busy cleaning up, and getting ready for the winter, and keeping the town safe has been getting harder for a while now...

[There's a soft sound and a dull thud.]

I can't keep going like this. Either I need to reduce my workload, or I need to get stronger. Or maybe I need to find a way to create more hours in my day, and spend them sleeping. Anyone have any thoughts on things I can do to sleep more? I'm dying over here, and working myself to the bone like this is just going to exhaust me even more. It's been weeks since I asked about it last, but I feel like I haven't slept more than a few hours a night since then.

[A pause. Then, like a dawning solution:] Maybe the solution... is more power. Maybe I just need to talk to Kaoruko, or Yuri... maybe they'll know something.

Hmm... I'll have to think about that, then. I'm not exactly excited about the idea, but... there's nothing for it, I think. I really need that vacation, though.

Thanks, Ayumi... sorry, I'm not really good for conversation right now, I guess.

It's okay, you look really tired. And melatonin is safe to try for a couple of days when you really need the rest. Try just laying down earlier in the day too.

Not a problem. Just take care of yourself.

[sunbloom]

Mm. I'll hunt some down. Hopefully it'll help... I don't know what I'll do if I go to bed early and still don't feel any better. Maybe I'll have to abandon the student council. I think they'd understand, but... it's not something I want to think about if I don't need to.

[She snorts faintly.]

Take care of myself, huh? That's getting harder with every passing day... I'll be happy when some of this crazy stuff is over.

The party never ends I suppose but any extra help you can get would be a good idea. Being exhausted all the time would really hurt your day.

[sunbloom]

Right. I'm going to keep an eye on all this, and I'll come to a decision. I can't keep being tired all the time, though, or I won't be able to protect anyone when it matters. And then I'll just be a failure at my most important job. I think that'd be the day I'd turn in my Perfume.

[deliver_my_feelings]

Mmm, I know the feeling. Stay safe and get some sleep.
