Suzie would find that「Jigsaw Feeling」either with a guessing or some unknown sense, reach out and pluck out one of the binders from the shelf although one could say it simply knocked it off the shelf like some giant cat. Falling into her hands, the three-ring binder opened, revealing a small number of composition notebooks labeled only with dates that reached back roughly one to two years ago.
Upon opening up the more recent ones, she would find pages upon pages filled with unknown scripts; no doubt notes written in code. Fortunately, the oldest one was uncoded:
The bottom of the page was distorted by the tell-tale signs of water, yet it thankfully had not affected the other entriesSeptember 3rd, 0019 P.I.
... it took me quite some time to procure the saplings from Moonchild and while I fear the mental scars brought on by the hoops I had to jump through to entertain the witch mother enough to bestow me such gifts, the sparkle I saw in Debra's eyes when she saw the daffodils and roses had sprouted and bloomed overnight was a treasure I shall I forever remember. I know this love will be bitter like poison by the end but...

... I fear my back will give out at this rate. I suspect Moonchild is giggling stupidly to herself about this whole mess. While the garden had been manageable at first, I fear I might have underestimated Salem's flora; four highly skilled gardeners and myself have struggled to keep it contained from spilling out of the garden in the last few days, but I fear it is only a matter of time before things get out of hand.
Hironobu has been suggesting the use of the「Black Emperor」 and「 Manowar」and as cathartic as it would be to let loose, I would prefer that Debra have as little contact with them as possible...

At long last, victory...
A pyrrhic victory, but one nonetheless. I suppose this means that I should take to heart the moral of seeking help from others, but I'm far too old for such lessons to make much of a difference. After months and a small fortune fighting nature, things came to a head when Amon Amarth came to visit. To be frank, I don't really recall why he came to visit, although deciphering his cryptic verses take my brain a few days to figure out, and by that point, he's usually gone. I suspect he plans it out in some attempt to out bastard me. Regardless, that curious power of Amarth's「 The Spin」proved to be quite effective against the altered plant life. Amarth's only explanation on the hows and whys was his usual cryptic response, something about how "The power of the true spiral untwisting the enchanted coils' hold on nature."
The man can keep his secrets, I suppose, but I do plan to get back at him by provoking a squabble between him and the Grandmaster next time we're assembled. That should make me feel better about this whole ordeal.October 26th, 0020 P.I.
...curiously, the garden still seems to be affected by the introduction of those saplings. While I initially dreaded learning that even the native flora had been affected in the beginning, at the very least it makes things simple since we can prune and trim them all at the same time. It's much slower now, although still noticeable and while manageable, I think I'll keep all of the current gardeners employed just in case...
