Apologies for my absence. Recent events including camera, computer and software compatibility have more or less ground me to a stand still and the problems will not be resolved immediately but hay ho no one has died.
*IC photo of Aerilin Volkova*
What is really happening to me?
In the fog I try to see
The fragments of a demon left in me
Is it fiction or reality?
It´s a lonely ride
Yeah it´s a lonely ride
To the other side
The place they try to hide
Aren´t you tired of hiding from the sun?
Like a speed freak on the run
I got rid of all the hooks that´s left in me
Is it fiction or reality?
Riding in a fever, all I see
Repeating imagery
Bodies with no compatibility
Is it fiction or reality?
Release the strings
Of love and hatred
Embrace the rain
Now you´re in control

Picked up a Nikon F60 at a garage sale for $25. Just ordered an AF Nikon lens on eBay and looking forward to getting it out in the field for a try. It came with an e series lens which does not mesh with all the functionality the camera offers and only works on manual with this lens, from what I understand. The camera is apparently selective on compatibility with lens and only fully functions with the AF and AF D series lens. My first Nikon 😊! I actually paid more for a package of batteries for the camera than the camera itself. It seems to be fully functional. This camera has many of the same settings that digital cameras now have created near the end of the film era before film cameras were phased out for digital camera production.

Someone on a screen asked me a question
Something about what love means to me
Maybe it's just circumstance
Or general compatibility
I don't know who you are
But I'll save you a seat
Hang my coat on a chair next to me
I tried to reassure the waiter
Say you're down the street
He laughed at me
So here's to you
The most beautiful thing that I have never seen.

✨ The Perfect Pairing for Glamorous Vibes ✨
When it comes to setting the mood, I’ve discovered the ultimate duo that transforms my look from beautiful to unforgettable—the Flora Earrings by PurpleMoon [PM] and the Gen 4K Shadow Set 12 by SlackGirl [SG].
The Flora Earrings bring a bold, sculptural drama to my look, bursting with playful florals that flutter between elegance and flirtation. I adore how versatile they are—the HUD gives me 23 stunning solid colors, 15 statement prints, and 10 lush metals to play with. From wild animal prints to chic monochromes, I can resize and style them to suit anything from casual daytime chic to red-carpet glamour.
And then, the eyes. Oh, the eyes. With SlackGirl’s Gen 4K Shadow Set 12, I can layer color like an artist painting on the most exquisite canvas. Each shadow is crafted with breathtaking precision, hugging my lids with high-definition EVOX and Genus compatibility. The HUD delivers nine gradient-rich shades, ranging from smoldering plums and vibrant emeralds to sultry blues and metallic neutrals. Every option enhances my gaze with just the right dose of depth, seduction, and modern edge.
Together, these two power pieces are more than accessories and cosmetics—they’re the vibe creators. The earrings command attention with their larger-than-life bloom, while the shadows pull every eye into mine. The effect? A perfect balance of playfulness and sophistication, leaving me glowing, glamorous, and unforgettable.
🌸 Flora Earrings HUD Features
* 23 Solid Colors
* 15 Prints
* 10 Metals
* Resize + HUD Controlled
🎨 Gen 4K Shadow Set 12 HUD Features
* 9 Rich Shadow Options
* EVOX & Genus Compatibility
* Ultra-High Definition Finishes
Both are exclusively available at the Swank Around the World August Sales Event—and trust me, you’ll want to grab them before they’re gone.
👉 [Visit Swank Around the World Event – August]
💖 Kyra Outfit by adorsy 💖
Sometimes a look doesn’t just dress me—it dares me. The Kyra Outfit is my playful rebellion: a cropped top laced tight but teasingly open at the sides, shorts so fitted they cling like a lover’s hand, and boots that stomp with confidence while winking with charm.
The silhouette is bold and body-loving—slim, sculpted lines that hug my waist and hips, lifting me into a flirty rhythm of streetwear chic. Every cut, seam, and tie whispers intention: to be seen, to be desired, to be unstoppable.
✨ Mesh Body Compatibility
LaraX + Petite • Legacy • Reborn • Waifu
🎨 HUD Seduction
The fatpack HUDs turn Kyra into my personal toybox:
* Tops – 65 flirty shades and prints, from barely-there sheer whispers to loud patterns that shout look at me.
* Shorts – 45 leather tones and 50 denim washes, each one a different way to frame my curves—edgy, polished, or playful pastel.
* Boots – 45 color options, finishing the tease at my feet with everything from sweet candy brights to sultry black leather.
It’s the kind of outfit that can turn a casual stroll into a runway, or a simple glance into a spark. I love how the ties loosen just enough to reveal skin… and how the shorts ride low enough to tempt, yet high enough to shape. Every time I slip into Kyra, I feel like the world becomes my playground.
Come find her exclusively at adorsy:

Copenhagen Zoo, located in Frederiksberg, is one of the oldest and most famous zoos in Europe. Among its many fascinating animals, the giraffes stand out as some of the most popular and beloved residents. The giraffe enclosure is designed to resemble the animals’ natural savannah habitat, providing plenty of space for these gentle giants to roam, eat, and interact.
Visitors are often amazed by the giraffes’ impressive height, long graceful necks, and calm behavior. Watching them reach high into the trees to nibble on leaves is a favorite sight for many. Copenhagen Zoo also has a special giraffe house, where visitors can get closer to the animals and learn about their biology and the challenges they face in the wild.
The zoo plays an important role in giraffe conservation. It participates in international breeding programs to help ensure healthy populations of giraffes for the future. Keepers and educators at the zoo also work hard to teach the public about the importance of protecting giraffes’ natural habitats in Africa.
Overall, the giraffes at Copenhagen Zoo not only bring joy to thousands of visitors each year but also help raise awareness about wildlife conservation. They remind us how important it is to care for and protect the world’s amazing animals.
At Copenhagen Zoo, the giraffes belong to the reticulated giraffe subspecies (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata)..
They are known for their striking geometric patches with crisp white lines.
Copenhagen Zoo participates in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) breeding program, which aims to maintain genetically healthy and diverse giraffe populations across Europe. Reticulated giraffes are among the most represented in captivity, so gene compatibility is carefully monitored .

Good evening my sweethearts, I now present to you our new release , the Starry Eyeshadow is our new product release from the new bundle we will be launching, Starry, with a fantasy and galactic theme, I hope you like the products coming out <3.
The pack has four colors in total, having the shadow and the eyeliner, both with a great detail quality.
Ps: The pack only contains the Hud for lelutka, in the future we intend to increase the compatibility.
Y’all better saddle up—because I’ve just stepped into my high noon era with the Cheyanne Outfit by Jumo, and honey, this look doesn’t whisper Western glam… it shouts it from the rooftops.
Let’s talk styling:
This outfit is all sass, class, and a touch of rebel rodeo spirit. The buttery satin crop top wraps me like a second skin, with ruching and a plunging neckline that pays homage to 1950s pin-up sirens—but with a fiery modern twist. Pair that with the high-waisted denim jeans, hugged in all the right places, and fringed from hip to ankle with attitude and movement. It's cowgirl couture, reimagined.
And then there's the hat—oh darling, the hat. A wide-brimmed masterpiece decked out in gold stars, gleaming bullets, and a cheeky “GG” emblem that practically winks at you. It’s a nod to both spaghetti western glam and the fierce, bedazzled cowgirl aesthetics of early '00s runway—think Dior by Galliano meets country club rebel.
Color Customization:
With its HUD, I can mix and match:
* The hat comes in a wild array of shades—classic neutrals, sunset tones, even full-on glitterbomb brights.
* The top? Think silky ombrés, bold primaries, or pastel sherbet for that summer tease.
* The jeans range from vintage acid washes to classic denim blues and even fashion-forward dyed tones. The HUD makes this outfit endlessly versatile.
Mesh Body Compatibility:
The Cheyanne Outfit is made for:
* Maitreya
* Legacy
* Reborn
* Kupra
* Waifu
...because fierce style shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.
So whether you're strutting through town like a desert storm or sipping peach bellinis in a modern saloon, the Cheyanne Outfit by Jumo is your go-to look for casual chic with a yee-haw edge.
This outfit is exclusively available at the Swank Celebration of Color Event.

Happy Shoppings
Scientific Name: Symphysodon Aequifaciatus sp.
Average Adult Fish Size: 8 inches / 20 cm
Place of Origin: Amazon basin of S. America
Compatibility: Discus are a very peaceful fish and should be kept with other peaceful fish like some of the S. American dwarf cichlid species and tetras. They do best when kept as a group of 6 or more.
Temperature: 82 – 88 Deg F / 28 – 30 Deg C
Water Chemistry: Juvenile and wild F1 Discus generally require softer water and a lower pH than tank raised Discus. The best thing is to simulate the conditions your Discus were raised in. Wild Discus require pH 6.0 – 6.5 while tank raised Discus can go all the way up to 8.0 pH.
Feeding: When purchasing, always ask what they are being fed. Discus can be quite particular when it comes to food, but can be trained to readily accept almost any type of food. Tank mates that eat the food that you want them to eat will encourage Discus to eat it also. They WILL eat a broad range of foods from flakes, small pellets, frozen, and live worms along with brine shrimp, but not always on the first attempt. DO NOT feed them tubifex worms. Tubifex carries too many pathogens and the risk of introducing disease to your Discus is too great a risk. Hole-in-the-head disease (HITH) is associated with poor water quality and feeding tubifex.
Sexing: Venting is the best way to sex Discus.
Breeding: Discus will lay their eggs on broad leaved plants like Amazon Swords or almost any vertical flat surface that is to their liking. Fry are best kept with the parents as they will eat the slime that the parents secrete. At two weeks of age they will start to accept finely ground flake food or baby brine shrimp.
Additional Information: There are almost too may different color variations of Discus with new ones coming out all the time. They are not difficult to keep as long as water parameters and temperature are to their liking. They can be a shy fish, because of this the aquarium should not be placed in high traffic areas where people are always walking by. A novice fish keeper will have better success with Discus that are larger than 3 inches in size.
Pigeon Blood Discus are a selectively bred or man-made species of Discus that typically have a creamy yellowish to orange base color, highlighted by bright red eyes and trimmed off in black stripes and spots. The tails of Pigeon Blood Discus are almost always black. Some of the varieties of this strain have more or less striations or black spotting with more cream colored body coloring. This strain was developed by Kitti Phanaitthi in 1991 from a mutation in Thailand. Some breeders have noted that if you can grow young Pigeon Blood Discus in a brightly lit aquarium, that there should be less black spots or peppering on both the body and finnage.
The Dominic Mini Dress by WellMade
Every once in a while, a dress arrives that does more than drape the body—it celebrates it. The Dominic Mini Dress by WellMade is precisely that revelation: a daring silhouette that fuses elegance with seduction in perfect measure.
Cut to accentuate the female form, the Dominic embraces the waist with subtle ruching that both flatters and elongates the figure. Its neckline, plunging yet refined, draws the gaze with an intimate invitation, while the hemline teases with delicate lace-edge detailing—whispering of lingerie-inspired couture. Thin straps balance its bold confidence with a touch of minimal grace, ensuring that every movement is kissed by allure.
This is not just a dress—it is a mood, a memory, a late summer evening turned into fabric.
The HUD Fatpack Experience
The Dominic Mini Dress is available in a HUD fatpack of 22 sumptuous colors, from powdered pastels to decadent jewel tones and deep evening blacks. Each shade reveals a different personality of the dress—softly romantic in blush, fiercely magnetic in crimson, elegantly commanding in onyx. The HUD makes it effortless to shift from day to night, or from playful to unapologetically provocative, all in a single click.
Compatibility & Craft
WellMade has crafted the Dominic to fit seamlessly with today’s leading mesh bodies:
* Larax
* Legacy
* Reborn
* Waifus
Each rigging detail ensures that the dress molds perfectly, enhancing natural curves while maintaining fluidity in motion.
Availability
Exclusively available on the Second Life Marketplace, the Dominic Mini Dress can be yours at a promotional 75L price for Lazy Sunday—a fleeting indulgence for those with a discerning eye.

My new novel
B♭ (B Flat)
Columbia Point Residences, a redevelopment of an old warehouse district near the piers of Red Hook that look south over New York Harbor, sat with Williamsburg’s commercial and arts quarter to its north, a reclaimed stretch of landfill between them transformed into a quiet new neighborhood of low-rise detached houses.
On the freshly paved streets the laughter of children echoed, and the soft afternoon sun gently lit the roof tiles and white exterior walls. The wind carried a cool, saline scent from the sea, and, far off in the harbor, a ship’s horn punctuated the calm.
Residents were building new lives here, apart from the city’s daily tumult.
At three in the afternoon the light was still mild, gilding the leaves of the street trees. Mariners’ Row—this new residential enclave—presented itself with almost calculated perfection: rows of white houses, straight sidewalks flanking them. The scent of new construction and still-wet paint hung faintly in the air.
Mark Sanchez stood by the large living-room window and imagined a happy future for his family.
His unit, ERO, was the field force within ICE responsible for immigration enforcement and removals—hardened by the harsh realities of carrying out deportations—contrasted with HSI’s international-crime investigations. But here, behind the glass, he was simply a father and a husband.
Rachel had begun preparing dinner in the kitchen. Children’s voices drifted from the distant school-bus stop.
— Calm. Perhaps life is distilled on a Sunday at three in the afternoon, — he murmured inwardly.
The afternoon light slanted more and more; shadows reflected in the window stretched. On the neighborhood street, an old man walked slowly, pushing a cart as he walked his dog. The crossing laughter of children made that scene seem like an emblem of a gentle, innocent world.
Inside the house, the children were absorbed in play, and Rachel greeted them with a smile. The outside air was mild, the breeze only slightly warm; curtains swayed softly.
Mark opened the front door and checked the mailbox. There were notices about the new school and an announcement for a local disaster-preparedness drill.
At three in the afternoon, as the second hand crept forward, silence deepened.
Beside the house’s foundation concrete there was a faint tremor.
In the afternoon hush, the harbor horn and the rustle of leaves in the breeze filled the soundscape—sounds that masked a subtle detonation so that the surrounding residents did not notice. Smoke rose slowly; there was no fierce blaze at the moment of explosion, only fine dust quietly filling the air. The collapse did not happen all at once but proceeded slowly and inevitably. Part of the exterior wall developed quiet fissures; glass trembled and fractured into fine shards. Wooden posts toppled one by one without a sound, the house crumbling inward as if in a muted dance. A small shock set off a chain reaction of charges that dismantled the structure from within—silently yet surely. The exterior split without fanfare; windows became powder; wooden supports began to fall.
But the noise had been suppressed to the greatest extent possible; the neighborhood’s residents scarcely noticed anything had occurred.
In the distance, silhouettes of buildings slumped and settled. Not only Mark’s house but a blue house about three hundred meters across the street, and a white house further in, kicked up clouds of dust.
Three houses vanished in an instant.
The wind halted for a moment; only the leaves of the street trees trembled.
Mariners’ Row’s afternoon regained its former stillness, as if nothing had happened.
Yet everything had changed.
By planting small, distributed charges of C4 at several points in the foundation concrete and detonating them in precisely timed, ordered sequences, the shockwave could be minimized while the skeleton of the structure was collapsed from the inside.
Rafi’s knowledge of architecture had made possible not mere destruction but a “quiet collapse.”
“Use only the force that’s necessary”—that was his credo.
From a rooftop some distance away, Rafi watched the scene unfold; a deep silence flowed through his chest. For him, it was both an outcry and a prayer. The silence dwelling in destruction was the expression of his tangled feelings.
From childhood, Rafi had found refuge only in silence. The clamor of children playing in Gaza’s dusty alleys, the thunder of airstrikes—these had only wounded him more deeply. In a rundown corner of Gaza, the small Rafi leaned against a wall. When the roar of bombardment receded, the brief stillness was a salvation.
His mother’s tears, his father’s anger—the chaos of it all—the boy sought only a place without sound. He fled inward to a world without noise.
Tinkering with the innards of a broken radio with small hands, Rafi first understood the relation between destruction and quiet. A ruined radio, after it lost its sound, simply remained there in material form, silently.
As he grew, his inner life knotted into complexity. He studied architecture at the Islamic University to make shapes and manipulate structures as a way to steady the disorder within him. Even the days bent over blueprints failed to soothe the quiet madness hidden under his skin. When he faced a building plan, his hands trembled; in his head the calculated beauty of structure mixed with the cool cruelty of demolition.
Then he found a method to produce the silence he had once sought: planting bombs.
For him, it was the only way to externalize his pain. The C4 placed silently at a building’s core crystallized the intersection of his desire to destroy and his thirst for silence. Israel’s attacks on Gaza had stoked his rage, but the true explosion had been nurtured in the quiet of his childhood. For Rafi, releasing explosives without sound was a ritual of severing himself from the world’s noise.
Rafi’s heart could find rest only in the stillness of destruction; he was trapped in a darkness no one noticed.
Without sound, unnoticed by anyone, he broke his world and obtained silence.
And no one knew that his cry was hidden within that quiet destruction.
Construction of Columbia Point Residences had begun in 2024. The three collapsed houses had been occupied by staff of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—ICE—and its Enforcement and Removal Operations, ERO.
They took off their uniforms, sat at these tables with their families. By day they detained migrants and sent them out of the country; by night they held children on their laps and drank beer.
To Rafi, those two faces were one mask. Smile and cruelty breathed under the same skin. It was almost impossible to discern the boundary. He had seen the light in those houses many nights—the silhouettes at dinner through the curtains, laughter. There were no faces of the detained among them.
Each night Rafi never missed the five prayers. His fingertips turned sacred pages of the Qur’an; Arabic verses rang in his heart. “True strength lies in patience; vengeance is entrusted to God”—that phrase steadied him, lending calm. His anger was forbidden to flare; it lived quietly inside.
Recent news repeated the same refrain daily—“a million deported annually,” “military bases converted to detention centers,” “raids even on pending family applications”—numbers passing through the broadcast with a dry sound. But behind those numbers were names: his mother’s name, his sister’s name, the old man next door. Those names did not run on the news; they had no voice.
Rafi thought: this is not policy but selection—sorting who to keep and who to cast aside on sheets of paper. His faith taught mercy and justice, yet the world trampled those teachings. “God is the judge; we are only witnesses”—he repeated in his heart, while refusing to look away.
People in the city sought ways to lighten their lives. Yet tariff hikes made the very air heavy. Bread, nails, gasoline rose in price; sighs filled the shopping streets. Oddly, ICE and ERO garages always housed new vehicles; uniforms looked uncreased and shoes had thick soles. It was the result of budget and protection, the payoff for casting others aside.
Rafi kept calm. To erupt in emotion was to feed the enemy’s desire. So he hid his anger. The fire burning within him was tended like a vow to God—silent and steady.
Stories of neighbors taken in the night, a child crying as someone was seized—each one settled into him and became fuel. But it never flared. It only fed the coals and raised the burn temperature. From the outside, he seemed a gentle man. Inside, however, a balanced plan of destruction was quietly taking shape.

僕の新しい小説。
B♭ （ビーフラット）
ニューヨーク港を南に望むレッドフックの埠頭に近い、古い倉庫街を開発したコロンビア・ポイント・レジデンシズは、北側にウィリアムズバークの商業・アート地区を背にし、その間の埋立地を再造成した、低層戸建て中心の静かな新興住宅街だ。
新しく舗装された道には、子供たちの笑い声がこだまし、午後の柔らかな陽射しが屋根の瓦や白壁の外壁を優しく照らしている。風は海からの冷たい香りを運び、港湾の遠くで聞こえる船の汽笛が静けさにアクセントを加えた。
住民たちは日常の喧騒から離れ、ここに新たな生活の基盤を築いている。
午後３時の陽射しは、まだ柔らかく街路樹の葉を黄金色に染めていた。
マリナーズ・ロウの新興住宅街は、まるで計算されたように完璧な整列を見せている。白壁の戸建てが並び、まっすぐな歩道が両脇に伸びる。新築の香りと、まだ新しいペンキの匂いが微かに漂っていた。
マーク・サンチェスはリビングの大きな窓から外を眺めながら、家族の幸せな未来を思い描いていた。
彼が属するEROは、ICEを構成する２部門のうちのひとつ、HSIの国際犯罪捜査に比べ、EROの移民の強制執行や送還を行う現場部隊で培った厳しい現実もあったが、ここではただの父親であり夫だった。
レイチェルはキッチンで夕食の準備を始めている。子供たちの声が、遠くのスクールバス停から聞こえてきた。
ー 穏やかだ。日曜日の午後３時に、人生は集約されているかもしれない ー
彼は胸のうちでそうつぶやいた。
午後の光は徐々に斜めになり、窓ガラスに映る影が伸びていく。住宅街の通りでは犬の散歩をする老人が一人、手押し車を押しながらゆっくり歩いていた。子供たちの笑い声が交差するその風景は、穏やかで無垢な世界の象徴のようだった。
家の中では子供たちが遊びに夢中になり、レイチェルがにこやかに声をかけている。外の空気は穏やかで、風はわずかに暖かく、揺れるカーテンが優しく靡いていた。
マークは玄関のドアを開け、郵便受けを確認する。ポストには新しい学校の案内と地域の防災訓練のお知らせが入っていた。
午後三時、秒針がゆっくりと動く中、静寂が深まっていった。
家の中心、基礎のコンクリートのすぐ脇が微かに揺れた。
午後の静けさの中、遠くからは港湾の汽笛と、風に揺れる街路樹の葉擦れの音が響いていた。それらの環境音が、わずかな爆破音をかき消し、周囲の住民が気づくことはなかった。煙はゆっくりと立ち上り、爆発の瞬間に生まれる激しい炎はなく、ただ細かな粉塵が静かに空気を満たした。倒壊は一気ではなく、ゆっくりと、しかし確実に進んだ。外壁の一部が静かに亀裂を生み、ガラスは微細に震えながら割れていく。木製の柱が一本、また一本と音もなく倒れ、家全体が内側から崩れていく様は、まるで静かな舞踏のようだった。爆薬はわずかな衝撃で連鎖反応を起こし、家の構造を静かに、しかし確実に破壊していく。外壁は音もなく割れ、ガラスは粉々になり、木製の柱が倒れ始めた。
しかし、騒音は極力抑えられ、周囲の住民たちは何が起きたのか気づきにくいほどだ。
遠くで小さく崩れ落ちる建物のシルエットがあった。マークの家屋だけでなく、通りを挟んで３００mほど先の青い家、そして、そこからさらに奥へ進んだ白い家から砂埃が舞い上がった。
3軒の家が瞬時に消えた。
風が一瞬止み、街路樹の葉が揺れる音だけが響く。
マリナーズ・ロウの午後は、再び何事もなかったかのように静けさを取り戻した。
しかし、すべては変わってしまったのだ。
基礎のコンクリートに小分けしたC4を複数箇所に埋め込み、微細なタイミングで順序良く起爆させることで、衝撃波を最小限に抑えつつ構造の骨組みを内側から崩していく。
ラフィの建築学の知識が、単なる破壊ではなく「静かなる崩壊」を可能にしていた。
「必要な力だけを使う」——それが彼の信念だった。
ラフィは遠くの建物の屋上からその光景を見つめ、胸に深い静寂が流れた。彼にとって、それは叫びでもあり、祈りでもあった。破壊の中に宿る静寂こそが、彼の複雑な感情の表現だったのだ。
ラフィは幼いころから、静寂の中にしか安らぎを見いだせなかった。
ガザの埃っぽい路地裏で遊ぶ子供たちの喧騒も、爆撃の轟音も、彼の心を深く傷つけるだけだった。廃れたガザの街角で、幼いラフィは静かに壁にもたれかかっていた。爆撃の轟音が遠ざかる瞬間、その静寂は彼にとって一瞬の救いだった。
母の涙、父の怒り、そのすべてが混ざり合う騒乱の中で、彼はただ「音のない場所」を求めていた。彼は音のない世界へと逃げ込んだ。
小さな手で壊れかけたラジオの中身をいじりながら、ラフィは初めて「破壊」と「静けさ」の関係に気づいた。壊れたラジオは、音を失った後に、ただ静かにそこに物質としての形状を保っていた。
成長するにつれ、彼の内面は複雑に絡み合った。
イスラム大学の建築学部に進んだのは、形を作り、構造を操ることで、彼の心の乱れを制御しようとしたからだ。大学で建築を学ぶ日々も、彼の心の奥底に潜む静かな狂気を癒すには足りなかった。建物の設計図に向き合うとき、彼の指先は震え、頭の中で計算される構造の美しさと破壊の冷徹さが入り混じった。
そして彼は、かつて自分が求めた静寂を「作り出す」方法を見つけた。
爆弾を仕掛けること。
それは彼にとって、自分の痛みを外に放つ唯一の手段だった。
建物の中心に静かに仕掛けられたC4は、彼の「破壊への欲求」と「静寂への渇望」が交錯した結晶だった。イスラエルによるガザ攻撃は彼の憎悪を燃え上がらせたが、真の爆発は幼少期の沈黙の中でじわじわと育まれていた。彼にとって、爆薬を音もなく解き放つ行為は、世界の騒音から自分自身を切り離す儀式だったのだ。
ラフィの心は、破壊の静けさの中にしか安息を見出せず、誰も気づかない闇に囚われていた。
音もなく、誰にも気づかれずに、彼は自らの世界を破壊し、静寂を手に入れる。
そしてその静かな破壊の中に、彼の叫びが隠されていることを、誰も知らなかった。
コロンビア・ポイント・レジデンシズは、２０２４年に工事の着工が始まった。崩壊した三棟に住んでいたのは、米国移民税関取締局のICEとその強制退去執行部門であるEROの職員たちだった。
彼らは制服を脱ぎ、この家で家族と食卓を囲む。昼間、移民を拘束し、国外へ送る彼らが、夜には子どもを膝に抱き、ビールを飲む。
ラフィには、その二つの顔がひとつの仮面にしか見えなかった。微笑みと冷酷が、同じ皮膚の下で息をしている。その境目を見極めることは、ほとんど不可能だった。彼は何度も、職員たちの家に灯る明かりを見た。カーテン越しに見える食卓の影、笑い声。そこには、拘束された者たちの顔はひとつもなかった。
ラフィは毎夜、沈黙のなかで五回の礼拝を欠かさなかった。彼の指先は厳かにクルアーンのページをめくり、アラビア語の詩句が心に響いた。
「真の強さは忍耐にあり、復讐は神の手に委ねられる」—その言葉が彼を支え、冷静さを与えた。
怒りは熱く燃え上がることを許されず、静かに内側で息づいていた。
最近のニュースは、毎日が同じ旋律を繰り返していた。
ー 「年間百万人送還」「軍事基地を収容所に転用」「家族申請中でも摘発」 ー
数字は乾いた音を立ててニュースの中を流れていく。
だが、その数字の裏側には名前があった。母の名、妹の名、隣に住んでいた老人の名。それらはニュースには載らず、声にもならなかった。
ラフィは思った。これは政策ではなく、選別だ。残す者と捨てる者を、書類の上で振り分ける作業だ。
彼の信仰は慈悲と正義を説く。だが今の世界は、その教えを踏みにじっていた。
「神は審判者、我らはただ証人」 — 彼は心の中で繰り返しながらも、見過ごすことを拒んだ。
街では誰もが生活を軽くする方法を探していた。だが、関税の引き上げは空気までも重くした。パンも、釘も、ガソリンも値を上げ、ため息が商店街を満たした。
不思議なことに、ICEやEROの車庫にはいつも新しい車が並んでいた。制服は新品のように皺ひとつなく、靴底は厚かった。それは予算と保護の結果であり、他者を切り捨てた見返りでもあった。
ラフィは冷静だった。
感情を爆発させるのは、敵の望むところだ。だから彼は、怒りを表には出さなかった。彼の内に燃える火は、神にささげる誓いのように、静かに、確実に燃え続けていた。
夜中に連れ去られた隣人の話。拘束の最中に子どもが泣き叫ぶ声。その一つ一つが、彼の胸の奥で沈殿し、火種になった。
しかし、決して燃え上がることはない。ただ、確実に燃料をくべ、燃焼温度を上げていく。外から見れば、彼は穏やかな男だった。
だが、内側では均衡の取れた破壊の計画が静かに形を成していた。

✨ Suri Outfit by Newphe ✨
There’s something irresistible about a look that blends preppy charm with runway sophistication—and that’s exactly what I feel when I slip into the Suri Outfit by Newphe.
The styling is a perfect balance of soft elegance and playful confidence. The knit sweater hugs my frame with a subtle diamond-patterned texture, finished with a delicate bow detail right at the neckline—an accent that whispers both innocence and intent. The off-shoulder cut gives just enough allure, while the long sleeves taper into a polished cuff, elongating the arms and balancing the proportions.
Paired with it is the pleated mini skirt, which flares with movement yet holds its sharp tailored structure, calling back to classic school-girl aesthetics but reimagined in a fresh, contemporary silhouette. Whether in tartan patterns or solid tones, the skirt brings energy and flirtation into the ensemble, making it impossible not to turn heads.
Fashion-wise, Suri borrows from retro collegiate style and elevates it with modern-day femininity—a piece you could imagine on the streets of Harajuku, the runways of Milan, or styled for your own statement-making entrance.
And then comes the HUD—a full fatpack that unlocks an incredible array of color options for both the sweater and the skirt. From rich neutrals to playful brights, it gives me total freedom to transform my look from day to night, soft to bold, sweet to daring—all with just a few clicks.
Suri has been crafted with versatility in mind, offering compatibility with the following mesh bodies:
* Legacy + Perky
* Belleza Gen.X (Classic & Curvy)
* eBody Reborn
* Maitreya Lara & LaraX + Petite
* Waifu
It’s my go-to outfit when I want to embody both sophistication and charm—because style is all about having choices, and with Suri, I get them all.

My New Novel.
B♭ (B Flat)
Mika, who had come from Japan to study at St. Clair State University, found herself deeply drawn to Ana’s work in the art department. Her pieces were composed only of black and white—pencil, mechanical pencil, ballpoint pen, fountain pen—everyday tools of the hand. Each portrait, landscape, and still life, stripped of color, appeared fresh to Mika, who was accustomed to oil paintings overflowing with pigment. They carried a certain austerity, a clear, ringing resonance. Within that colorless world, Ana’s gaze unmistakably breathed.
And yet, even as the campus basked in warm sunlight, there were fractures no one could ignore. Posters taped to the university walls were torn down, replaced, then scrawled over. Across the slogan proclaiming “Freedom and Diversity” ran the words “Go home” and “Don’t steal our scholarships,” smeared under fluorescent light. The walls, worn and frayed, looked like scraped skin.
That roughness was the very face of America. Even Harvard was denounced as “privileged” and “biased,” and dragged into congressional hearings. Under the Republican administration, ICE intensified its checks on students and immigrants, while ERO raids and detentions became commonplace. On television, politicians turned elites, immigrants, and universities into a single enemy, and their words spread like a heatwave across the nation, scorching even small-town campuses. Academic freedom still held its shape, but it was already as precarious as a mirage shimmering in the desert.
At a window seat in the dining hall, Ana pushed at the yolk of her ham and eggs with her fork.
— The town where I grew up was barren. No trees, no river, only dry sand swirling in the wind. But I didn’t dislike it.
Her voice was quiet, yet her fingers carried a distinct aftertone.
— Not only the landscape. In truth, there was nothing at all around me. Nothing but paper and a pencil.
Her words seemed to echo the emptiness pressing on the university itself. American scholarship, however abundant it appeared, was being scoured by politics and policy, left dry like the desert wind.
Mika nodded deeply. She too, as a Japanese, knew the contrast between landscape and emptiness. Shibuya’s dazzling ads and giant screens blazed so bright they drowned the night sky. Yet the neighborhood where she lived, Kamiyamachō, was lined with old houses, hushed and still, as if time had forgotten them. Excessive light and silence’s darkness—this disparity had shaped her childhood, and now it resonated with Ana’s words in the deepest chamber of her heart.
On the library desk lay Ana’s black-and-white lines beside the fragments of color Mika brought. Pencil shavings and the scent of paint were proof of life, yet behind them lurked newspaper headlines like shadows: Scholarship Reform, Tighter Surveillance of Immigrant Students. The library’s hush still held, but its silence was taut, like the surface of a lake just before a storm.
— The glamorous lives I saw on social media seemed so rich. But I never felt envy. Rather, I wanted to show someone my own ordinary days.
Ana’s voice was small, but burning. To offer up her modest daily life amid division—this was resistance, the last fragile shape of freedom that scholarship could still claim.
At dusk, as they sat on the grass, the laughter of distant students drifted on the wind. Yet even that sound was drowned by the echo of news calling for stronger borders, and dissolved into the dry night air. The two of them opened their sketchbooks and drew lines on paper, affirming, with each stroke, that they were here, alive.
Before long the sun went down, and the streetlamps lit one by one. The humid summer air stirred their hair. In its tremor, she felt the mingling of exhilaration and unease.

僕の新しい小説。
B♭ （ビーフラット）
サンクレア州立大学に日本からやってきたミカは、同じ美術学部に在籍していたアナの、白と黒だけで構成された作品に強く惹かれていた。鉛筆やシャープペンシル、ボールペン、万年筆──日常の手道具だけで描かれた人物や風景、静物のひとつひとつが、色彩豊かな油絵に慣れたミカには新鮮で、どこか凛とした響きをもって映った。色を奪った世界のなかに、アナの眼差しが確かに息づいていたのだ。
だがキャンパスの空気は、暖かな陽光に包まれていながらも、目に見えぬ亀裂を抱えていた。大学の壁に貼られたポスターは剥がされ、貼り直され、やがて落書きに塗りつぶされる。「自由と多様性」のスローガンの上から殴り書きされた「帰れ」「奨学金を奪うな」の文字が蛍光灯ににじみ、壁は擦り切れた皮膚のように荒れていた。
そのざらつきは、アメリカそのものの表情だった。ハーバード大学でさえ「特権的」「偏向的」と糾弾され、議会の標的となる時代だ。共和党政権下ではICEが留学生や移民の身元確認を強化し、EROが通報や拘束を実行する光景が日常化していた。政治家たちはテレビカメラの前で、エリートや移民や大学をひとつの敵に仕立て上げ、その言葉は熱波となって国中に広がり、地方の小さなキャンパスをも焼いていた。学問の自由はまだ形を保っていたが、それはすでに砂漠に浮かぶ蜃気楼のように危うかった。
食堂の窓際で、アナはプレートのハムエッグの黄身を小さく突きながら言った。
ーー わたしが育った街は、殺風景だった。緑も川もなく、乾いた砂が風に舞うばかり。でも、嫌いではなかった ーー
その声は静かで、しかし指先の動きに確かな残響を宿していた。
ーー 風景だけでなく、実際、まわりには何もなかった。あったのは、紙と鉛筆くらい ーー
その響きは、大学という場が直面している空虚さをも思わせた。豊かに見えるアメリカの学問も、制度と政治の風にさらされ、砂漠のように乾いていた。
ミカは深く頷いた。日本人である彼女もまた風景と空虚の対比を知っていたからだ。渋谷の艶やかな広告や巨大スクリーンは眩しすぎて、夜空をかき消すほどだった。一方、自宅のあった神山町は、古風な邸宅がひっそりと並ぶ、時間に取り残されたかのような街並みだった。過剰な光と沈黙の闇。その落差が、幼い日のミカを支え、今アナの言葉を胸の奥で共鳴させていた。
図書館の机には、アナの黒と白の線と、ミカの持ち込む色彩の断片が並んでいた。鉛筆の削りかすや絵具の匂いは確かに生の証だったが、その背後には新聞の見出しが影のように迫っていた。「奨学金の見直し」「移民学生への監視強化」。図書館の静謐はまだ保たれていたが、その沈黙は嵐を前にした湖面のように張りつめていた。
ーー SNSで目にする誰かの華やかな生活は、とても豊かに見えた。でも、羨ましいとは思わなかった。むしろ、私の日常を、誰かに見せたくて仕方がなかった ーー
アナの声はとても小さかったが熱していた。分断のただ中で差し出す自分の小さな日常、それはひとつの抵抗であり、学問が残す最後の自由のかたちだった。
夕暮れ、芝生に腰を下ろすと、遠くの学生たちの笑い声が風に運ばれてきた。だがその響きも、国境の強化を叫ぶニュースの残響にかき消され、乾いた夜風に溶けていった。ふたりはただスケッチブックを広げ、紙に線を刻むことで、ここに生きていることを確かめ合った。
やがて夕陽が沈み、街灯がひとつ、またひとつと灯り始めた。夏の湿った風が髪を揺らし、昂ぶりと不安が交錯するのを、彼女は確かに感じていた。

If you love immersive roleplay and are looking for an accessory that combines beauty, symbolism, and functionality, this necklace definitely deserves a place in your collection.
💎 A touch of luxury for an unforgettable moment.
💕 The Estellyn Outfit — By adorsy
The countryside teases me awake— crickets quieting as morning blushes across the lake, a sweet breeze slipping through the shutters of my parents’ rustic cottage.
And here I am, tumbling out onto the porch in my newest delight: the Estellyn Outfit, a whisper of playful innocence tangled with a wink of mischief.
✨ The Look
The Top — a ruched confection with ruffled edges, soft as clouds yet daring enough to bare my shoulders. It hugs me in all the right places, a feminine promise with every gathered seam.
The Shorts — cut short, dangerously short, with gingham whispers and denim flirtations. They ride the line between sweet and sultry, perfect for skipping down garden paths or leaning coyly against weathered wood.
The Shoes — strappy charm for my feet, making me look like I might stroll down to the dock… or dance barefoot in the grass when no one’s looking.

🌿 Storyline
I lean against the old terracotta pots by the porch, giggling as the ivy tries to catch my hat. My legs stretch out, striped in pastel stockings, as I sip lemonade and dream of the evening—fireflies by the water, laughter echoing across the cottage lawn, and maybe, just maybe, a stolen kiss behind the pines.
The Estellyn Outfit isn’t just fashion. It’s that girlish thrill of summer freedom—playful, cheeky, impossibly chic.
✨ Dress your countryside mischief in the Estellyn Set.
