The temperature finally decreased since last weekend's heat-up. Although I don't want to bring it up I have no choice here:

あついかゆい、かゆい うま…

Looked upon the sky with lots of cloud clusters, my mind was full of the desire of a downpour.
-- Actually, not a downpour, but it did rain a bit today.

There's no way I can love summer. With various flowers it's beautiful, but meanwhile, the bugs.. in another sense summer is the scariest season.
When it's hot, everything in my daily life goes off-key (literally off-key for some instruments) and collapses, which can be proven by the increased chance of bumping into this or that, and my head simply goes blank, or is overwhelmed by a huge mixture of all horror games I've done (earlier it was Silent Hill 0 plus Biohazard 4, and more recently with the addition of Zero -crimson butterfly-.. lol).

And I kept dreaming about to hide somewhere as my aestivation, probably in the Manor of Sleep: the snow, the complicated and maze-like design, and the cute ghost girls.. that's the most ideal place isn't it!

As it was too hot for me to make my brain work properly, I decided to spend the two 31°C days with Zero 3 -shisei no koe-.
Only after one round clear, I still didn't dare to challenge its hard mode. While I didn't remember much details, I ended up with 11 hours in total to clear the second time normal mode (my 1st time play was around 17 hours). From rank E to rand D, yet I lacked quite a lot of points to fully upgrade all the three cameras.. orz So later on I tried the missions, and failed hard. For most (95%) missions it couldn't be better than a miserable E rank, and I wanted to point out, the time of retry was much higher than Zero 1 or 2's missions. I don't mind if you make the S rank to be difficult to obtain, but at least let poorly-skilled players like me finish them without being frustrated: Mission 1-3, 6-4 and 8-1 really trapped me into despair that I wanted to punch the staff who designed such harsh missions on the face!
If Hunters are the trauma of Biohazard, the Stroller Grandma is the trauma of Zero 3!
-- So that I never dream for All-S-Rank in any of the Zero series (because I know it's impossible). ~_~

However, Zero series is definitely the most beautiful (and moe) horror game (especially Zero 2)! It's just normal if I scream while doing Biohazard of Silent Hill, but in case of Zero, I usually get so excited like "Mio and Mayu are so cute (with the dark yukata or the gothic lolita costume plus glasses °w°)", and this is probably why I tend to do Zero at late night without feeling tired (or stressed).
So if someone is weak at horror games but still wants to have a try, this will be the No. 1 recommendation.

Regardless how touching the ending is, I couldn't stop to poke in when Rei pushed the boat with Reika and Kaname's bodies: don't "read" the lyrics/poem, "sing" it! You have a nice voice and I believe you can stay on-key!
Next, I'll eventually do Zero 3 in Hard mode, (and Zero 2 in Nightmare mode).

Lemon is awesome. As I drank more water with lemon concentrate, my mug cup became just shiny clean as new. It works much more efficient than the regular dish soap, or toothpaste!
