"It hurts to breathe. Ever since the rancid party incident, I feel as

Though I am running a marathon. Maybe I

Had been alright for a bit while I was in Greece, but

Ugh, my chest has been so tight. That

Rancid patty, what did it do

To me? Last night after going to

Sleep for a little while, I

Tried making dinner for Pira, Varg and Strix, and for

One reason or another, I

Began hacking uncontrollably. Good thing they didn't hear that. But, I am

Rather certain they'll

End up stopping me from taking

A job today. I wonder if it's

Time, should I tell them what really

Happened? Should I tell them

Everything? That I'm investigating food ghosts?

Maybe not.

Ah, just thinking about that,

Yikes I feel like I'm about to

Break out into an

Endless coughing fit.

I think they're going to

Stop me from working today, but I

Have to do a job if I get

One. I can't refuse.

Ugh, here's another cough.

Look, food ghosts

Don't rest, so

Neither should I. If I take time

Off from my per diem services,

It'll pile up, and I

Can't ignore the food ghosts.

At this point, it's

Not improving, in fact

The attacks are getting worse. I can't

Rest. I'm sure

Everything will be fine. I'm

Sure this

Thing going on within me will

Not last forever.

Of course, surely,

This will clear up.

When? I

Hardly know, but

Everything is fine. I

Need to keep working.

Pira and Varg seem

Especially concerned about me, though.

Over dinner last night, I'm

Pretty sure everyone had their eyes on me. I feel

Like I haven't been good at hiding this.

Everyone staring

At me is spoiling my appetite. I'd

Rather they don't stare.

Eh, in any case, I'm

Starting to wonder again who did

This to me.

I don't think I always had this

Little supernatural sense to deal with

Large food ghosts problems,

But now that I've

Ended up

In this mess,

Now it's

Getting to be undeniable. I

Keep thinking

It's because of someone. It's

Likely. Very

Likely someone

Ended up

Doing this to me.

But, who? I have

Yet to

Fill in the blanks

Of such, but

One thing is for sure, I

Don't want to rule out people I

Graduated with, I

Have a feeling

One of the people I graduated with did

Something to me.

To be honest, it's

Starting to line up.

It's far from one hundred percent

Likely, but I'll say it's seventy five percent

Likely to

Be on the safe side.

Even still, I cannot

Fathom who

It could be, I

Never counted how many students I

Ended up going to college with.

It could have

Literally been hundreds,

Likely thousands. No,

Hundreds. Agh,

Ah, just thinking about this is making me

Very dizzy. I need to

Effectively find

The culprit.

Of course, I doubt they'll come forward,

But I have my suspects. But, let's

Remove these thoughts for now.

Unless they come forward, I

Should focus on today, I think I

Have a job waiting

In my inbox.

That multicultural restaurant in Rome won't

Open itself.

For now, I need to

Focus on today. Investigating the culprit can wait."
