Dear Diary,

It seems odd to start something like this, but today, a woman handed me this notebook while I was waiting for Aran in the park. She probably thought I looked troubled—she mentioned something about writing things down if I was feeling low. 

I wasn't. I was just sitting there, thinking.

Still, I accepted it. It felt polite to say thanks, and, well, maybe it’s nice to have a place to write things down. People do say it’s helpful. I guess I’ll see. What’s strange is that I never got her name, even though I thanked her.

Not that it matters much, but maybe I’ll think of her if I end up using this notebook.

Yours truly,  
Shinsuke.
