"What should I do? It's getting

Harder and harder to keep this

All a secret. Sooner or later,

These incidents will be on the news and I won't be blurred.

Since, last time an incident

Had made the news,

Of course, it was blurred.

Uh, the ice cream parlor incident.

Let me think. Pira saw that incident on the news. I

Don't think he believed me when

I said it wasn't me. I

Don't think I can keep

On hiding this from everyone. But, I

Think it's for the best. I

Have to.

Especially since the

Food ghosts are getting

Overtly deadly

Out there now. I

Don't want them to

Get involved and die from a

Horrible monster.

Of course, Pira is

Strong, I know

That. But, I

Simply don't want him involved. I

Absolutely can't tell him. It's

Rather dangerous, if

Even one terrible thing

Should befall him if I

Tell him what's

Actually going on, I'd

Rather not forgive myself.

The same goes for Varg.

I don't want him to be a target.

Never, in a million years. I'm

Going to just say

That he's not physically strong.

One strike from a food monster might

Kill him.

I can't

Let him know about any of this.

Look, it's better if

My brothers never find

Out. Though, Strix has

Repeatedly seen me

Exit the house

Pretty late at night, but

Even still, I don't want him to find

Out either. I

Probably won't forgive myself if the

Likes of food ghosts attack

Everyone. Since,

I'm sure

They'll be made

Super aware of my brothers if I do.

Guess this

Extends to my sisters

Too. Leah, Hase and Natalie,

They haven't been around, but

I don't want them to find out either.

Neither do I want Deigr and Coiote to. I

Get beaten down with insuls by

Deigr and Coiote, but that doesn't mean

I want them to be

Reaped from this world by these

Evil food beasts. I

Can't let that happen. I

Absolutely cannot. Under

No circumstance should

I come clean about the Paranormal Food Investigation Team.

Rip off the old bandaid and

Enclose this growing wound

Again. I feel

Like Pira and Strix are

Likely onto me, and

Yet, they don't ask me anything. I

Keep fearing

Every single day,

Especially in the

Past few days,

That Pira or Strix might ask if I'm

Hiding something.

I sometimes wish

Strix and Pira weren't so sharp. But,

At the end of the day,

Since they're all older than me,

Everything is probably

Clear as crystal to them. I'm a

Rhombus trying to

Enter a circle. If

They know everything, I

Am not going

To explain.

There's no way I can

Have them get

Involved. I

Shouldn't disrupt their

Pretty busy lives.

Oh, well,

I need to resolve this soon. There's

No way

That I'll be able to get my restaurant

In Rome if I

Don't get rid

Of the food ghosts. I

Need to keep doing

This all in secret. It's starting

To hurt. It

Hurts acting like

I'm not hiding something. But, I

Need to

Keep this a

Secret for as long as this goes

On. My family can't be a target."
