I'm guessing it's like me and my workshop.[sr]I just don't feel like myself when I'm not there.

Sanctuary's actually not a bad way to put it, even if it's pretty far from most people's idea of one.
[k]
[charaFace D 7]
＠Mash
So...it's not that she was plotting something, so much as she just wanted to hurry up and get back here?
[k]
[charaFace E 0]
＠Da Vinci
Looks that way. But of course, this raises its own questions.
[k]
＠Da Vinci
Mostly about how the hell the top floor of[sr]Himeji Castle's tower ended up looking like this.

That's because Csejte is the best place in the world to hole up in.
