The remnants of summer continued to dwell in the atmosphere longer than ever before. I lived life to the fullest, and I cherished every moment. I had gained much more than a new friend this summer—I had established newfound hope, a place of hidden opportunities, a first love, and the chance to be…well, free. I could no longer feel the great dread and worry hanging over me, and I felt like I could be truly and completely happy once more.
I soon came across another discovery relating to Casimir. This one, to my gratitude, was not dark as other secrets had been. In fact, it was actually beautiful, in a sense.
I was in Casimir’s room, while he was taking a bath. I looked around with great interest, noticing the picture of the two of us that was on top of his nightstand. Once again, my curiosity emerged. I knew that I shouldn’t snoop around, but I had a feeling that Casimir wouldn’t really mind. I opened each of the drawers. Thankfully, there was no knife in any of them.
