Haruki's Diary

[hopeslens]

These are the entries written in a diary Haruki kept around for a good part of his lifetime. Scattered between the actual entries are notes that Haruki kept on bad things happening to him, almost in the form of a ledger, as if hoping to figure out how much good luck he "earned" for Komaeda.

First Entry (10 years old)

My father was the Super High School Level Good Luck. When he was 17, they told him that his sicknesses would only give him half a year to a year to live. It's because of his luck that he's been able to live this long, that I was born... and that I could meet him.

But I'm scared. Papa's luck isn't magic. It does great things, but you have to pay a great price for that. What should I do? I don't ever want to lose papa, never ever. But I don't have his luck. I can't rely on it not to take him away from me either. But just doing nothing isn't something I can stand! If papa disappears, then I'll be too lonely. Everything will feel darker.

I have to do something. Anything. There must be something I can do, right?
