Something that while the same, is still different.

[Fay-sensei's journal falls out of his pocket, switching to video as it does so. It reveals Fay climbing up a tree for some weird reason, climbing awkwardly onto the first strong looking branch, holding onto the smaller one above him.]

Ahaha, guess I'm out of practice after all... [Why do you need to practice this, Fay, you are a grown man.] Oh well!

[Suddenly the branch he was holding onto snaps in his hand, causing Fay to lose his balance and start to fall off the branch he was standing on. However, midfall, he is hit by two events! Fay's shape suddenly seems a lot larger and more round as he falls out of the tree and onto the ground, conveniently covering the journal up under the heavy fabric now covering him.]

Ow! [Pauses for a moment and then starts to laugh.] Uwaaah, but it's not winter anymore, right?

[Naked event reversed, so he's now dressed in layers upon layers of various kinds of clothing.]

[A smiling, masked face looks down at the journal, taking up the whole screen.] Nya~ [Mask is removed to reveal Fay-sensei! A shocking turn of events!] How's everyone doing? Has anyone found their eggs yet? Ah, I don't want to be the last one...

[And as Fay moves his face away from the journal, it becomes clear that he is trying to avoid this fate by... wandering around by himself in the middle of the night. Smart guy. He's not far from the hotel though.] This isn't a very good treasure hunt though, huh? Miracle Country, I'm very disappointed in you! You should try to be more imaginative than this, maybe take a lesson or two from Yuuko-sensei. Though it's not as much fun without-

[Suddenly, Fay stops and drops the journal onto the ground, obviously shocked. The journal briefly shows a very familiar figure standing before Fay, arms crossed and glaring down at him. People familiar with that face might recognise that it's more concerned than angry.]

Ah... Speak of the devil... Hello, Kurorin-sensei.

[When he arrives in the Welcome Center he's... More than slightly confused. But before he can get his bearings, he's swamped by a crowd of Kisekians and it all comes rushing back.

He wastes a moment or two trying to figure out if the ladies have gotten any more helpful since he was here last before ducking away to suppress a minor freakout, think things over and finally write an actual entry.]

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Oh, it's been so long I can barely remember... A strange, new land, I remember that... Full of cute puppies and kitties! Is this it? Am I back, after all these centuries? Uwaaaaah! [Yes, he wrote that out.] So much has changed, I can see that already! Hmm, finding my way is going to be really difficult!

Oh, well, I'm sure I'll adapt! But, you know, it seems like there's a new rule about when you can leave the Welcome Centre now! Just writing isn't enough, someone has to come give me a hug first. What will I do?!

[Right, all that should get some attention without revealing how worried and unsettled he is to be back here again.]

[... But, it can't hurt to add something:] If Yuui or Kurotan-sensei are here, they should say so quickly.
