[Connor sounds slightly out of breath when he dictates into the journal, mostly because it's so cold outside but also because he's been working pretty hard out there.]

Before I came to this world, I had left my village for six months. I have now been in this place for nine. There are still things I do not understand about both this world and the world outside my village, but I am learning, I think. And there is much to learn.

I have been interested in exploring the Dead Zone again. The god of this place has the power to move us and to transform our surroundings, but I would like to explore on my own terms. There is much to learn here amongst each other, but I feel as though there is even more to learn out there.

[Connor can be found on the castle lawn, packing a long wall of snow about a foot tall, taking care to carve a furrow down the middle. He has acquired some gloves that don't really match the rest of his outfit -- they have a reflective strip down the side and are also neon pink.]

[But she just wants to help and he never lets her! Sigh, Connor, so difficult.

Molotov nods too, then puts the box of treats down.]

Do not forget your snacks.

[He's like fourteen! You know how boys are.]

I will not. Thank you again. I am grateful.

[Molotov thought teen boys just jerked it all the time, not that they are jerks all the time. Siiiiiigh.]

Have a good day, Connor.
