Negative Significant - Touko's head getting crushed and running for his life

( spoilers, embeded video and japanese text alert )

Super summary/what he learns
- oh god there is a crazy guy who killed Touko-san and she's dead and he's trying to kill me D8
- I am an idiot for forgetting the layout of the mansion in my panic to run away. Now I'm stuck in a dead end
- Aaah I have to hurt someone in self-defense
- That didn't go too well.
- :| ohshi-


What this means
So much TERROR! \o/ Fitting since he won this from Haunted's game.

He has no idea if he survived that at all. And depending on what happens during the actual memory taking, he may or may not think he's died. ._.
Bonus: he now knows where the scars behind his knees came from. It may help reassure him that he survived since the injury healed but-

Memory 3 (Day 98, Game 67 - Trickster)
Negative Neutral - Visiting Shiki at the hospital every week.
What the title says. He gets snippet memories of his weekly visits at the hospital.
What he learns:
- Shiki's been in a coma for two years
- He's been visiting her every saturday without fail.
- His real name and how to write it because he does so on the hospital sign in sheet
- So much guilt and sadness and clinging to a hope.

What it means:
There's a lot of emotion undercurrents in this memory. He feels responsible for her coma somehow but he doesn't know why. He can feel that Shiki is very very important to him. Every visit is hard but he'll always bring her flowers and leave cards for her in case she wakes up to read them. His visits always last around two hours.
He has no idea if she ever woke up in the end.
Right now, he just believes that Shiki woke up in the end because she's here and she looks older than when he first saw her in a coma in the memory. Any other conclusion is too difficult to dwell on.

Memory 4 (Day 101, Game 70 - The Twins)
Neutral-neutral - His one month at driving school to get his driver's license.
Driving school memory. He knows how to drive now. (how useful in sabra)

Snippet from novel
　そう。九月の終わりから十一月七日である今日までのわずかな期間、秋は生き急ぐ競走馬のように走り抜けた。
　その間の僕はというと、十月の初めあたりから親戚が経営している自動車免許の教習所に通っていた。この教習所は長野の田舎にある寮制の学校で、生徒を三週間ほど合宿させて一般の教習所の課程を手早く済ませてしまうというものだ。
　一ヵ月近くこの街を離れる事に、僕は気乗りしなかった。けれど親戚の勧めは断れず、職場の所長である橙子さんもこの合宿には賛成だ、という事で止むなく合宿に行く事になった。そうして教習所なんだか収容所なんだかワカラナイ三週間が終わって、僕は生まれ育った街に帰ってきたわけである。

Basically, in October of 1998, Mikiya was recommended by his relatives to attend this driving school. Unable to reject them, he goes and spends almost a month there. It was almost like a boarding school type of thing and by the end of it Mikiya couldn't tell if it was a training center or a camp. :|aa He's just glad to be able to go home with his driver's license.

Positive-Neutral - Having lunch with Shiki on the rooftop.

( memory )

Neutral trivial - The abandoned cat plushies from their date.

Mikiya's practicality is getting me stumped in threads. Can someone fill me in on Mono's food status or general information like who does the cooking and food-gathering and other daily stuff?

He'd have been picking up on all the practical stuff since he came here. Finding out where to gather food, figuring out how to cook and how to store more food for the team. Stuff like that. He has the patience for traditional fishing if someone teaches him. (not very effective but eh...)

He's also trying to figure out how to help Orion's food problem. (He's too nice. orz)

I just need a general idea so I can handwave things easier. Help, please?
