↣ Continuing from late last month, Hayame was on sick leave from her work with the Legionary and she was not seen in any of her usual haunts in Springstar or Alenroux
↣ She did receive a few visitors at her home, including: Liem, who she invited to try and repair their friendship and use magic to magically inspect her eye, Akua, who she invited for the same, Rin, who came to drop off her centaur birth control that Hayame probably won't use now after finding out the woman also works with Sebastian, Yuri, who she allowed Claude to induct into the small circle of people who know about her eye (and who spurred a conversation with Claude after about their relationship/people knowing about it), and Dimitri, who chatted with Claude and Hayame about Alenroux politics
↣ While Claude was staying with her, they were horrified to wake one night to his shard trying to leave his body due to the escalating spookiness across Kenos
↣ Hayame just about lost her mind seeing that Aetos had spoken on Communion and that, more egregiously, multiple shard-bearers seemed to be just blithely giving him whatever information he required... so she told him to fuck off and insulted everyone talking to him, in what is becoming an unfortunate trend for her Communion participation
↣ When the creepy carnival came to town, Hayame became an unwilling guest... While there, she encountered Amos in the House of Mirrors and he found out (openly) about her Hag's Eye, made new acquaintances of Itachi and Fane at the game booths, shared food and opinions with Nebula, and insulted Ruby at the gift shop
↣ Honestly she just really wanted to get out of there and go back to hikkikomori'ing and plotting her vengeance
