"Have you tried switching around your happy memory? My first memory wasn't as strong as I thought it was, not until I picked another." That was how she realized she had more than one memory capable of producing a corporeal.
She slung her bag off on the floor, glancing down when it hit the fallen calender. Hm. "Sixteen?" Arya picked up the calender and examined the number marking today, "Is there something special about this number, or do you just like writing numbers on your calender?"
Kurumi tried to smile back at Arya, but everything was just...a blurr. A right mess it what it was really. Switching around her happy memory? She could, only the problem was that she had very little happy things to hold on to right now. The memory she had used last term to produce a non-corporeal made her sad now. "
Thanks, Arya," she nodded. "
I'll...give that a try..."
Maybe she should work on some other charms right now? Something to take her mind off everything.
Kurumi's eyes widened as Arya picked up her calendar. Wait...it was MAY? When did that happen? Kurumi scratched her head, cocking it to the side as she searched her memory. There were a lot of...black spots. Moments in time that had seemed to have been taken from her. Why hadn't she noticed that it was May? Not only that...but the date. "
Oh...I...um...well...um..." she stammered, checking on the inside of her cheek as she attempted to snatch back the calendar - not because she was embarrassed about the date, but to confirm that it really was in fact May 12th.
Why couldn't she even remember May 1st?

And treat.
The charms corridor was the most confusing to him, and so reaching the right door had been difficult, but reach it he did.
"Hooo." He flew over to the younger of the girls and perched himself on the sill; holding out his leg with the small package attached he staaaaared at her.
Take the package small person.
SPOILER!!: Your letter and package
The letter is attached to a small brown package wrapped in string. Inside is a sliver and
red key chain.
All of a sudden there was an owl in the annexe and Kurumi jumped back a bit to allow the bird to fly in front of her and land on the window sill. A package, for her? Was this one from Evelyn as well? Timidly, Kurumi reached out and took the package and letter from around the owl's foot and opened it up.
Her eyes immediately watered up when she saw who it was from. "
Jonathan," she whispered, an obvious tone of joy in her voice. He had written her. He hadn't forgotten her. She suddenly felt foolish for ever doubting him and she bit down on her bottom lip as she forced herself to actually read the letter instead of staring at his signature and her name written in his handwriting. That was almost enough for her. Just those two things. Still, she read the rest of it, her eyes lingering on each word and her heart pounding in her chest.
I wished I was there to take snatch your time and keep you company.
Kurumi giggled and wiped her nose with the sleeve of her robes. He never needed to snatch her time. She always gave it to him willingly. Tears trickled down her face and the hand not holding the letter gripped her chest where the heart shaped pendant rested. Setting the letter down, she opened up the box, her hands trembling so much that she had a hard time doing so, and whimpered when she saw the keychain. Honestly, a letter was all that she needed for her birthday - which she thought was still a month away. She removed the key chain and held it in her hands.
This moment, right now, was the happiest she had felt since the holidays.
