    I've got more realistic explanation - "snake oil" placebo effect caused by happiness to moving to new location. :P

    Hah, I knew someone would say that.

    Thing is, placebo only works when someone expects a result from some form of intervention, right? You give someone a pill that they think would have an action, and it does (even though it doesn't physically do anything). It's the power of belief.

    Now if someone thinks they're getting results without believing beforehand that something should change their current state,.. it's not placebo is it?

    There's no "happiness" involved Xel in moving here Xel. :P

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
