Maybe it's because I've never had a significant other, but I honestly do not see the point in Valentine's Day. And people have told me in the future it is far more commercialized. If you truly care about someone, shouldn't you show this at every opportunity and not just one day a year?

I understand everyone likes to feel appreciated, but perhaps I'm too logical in this. I think I would rather something personal. But then I've also never been on a date. I have yet to even consider the psychological aspect of an intimate relationship like that.

Perhaps I shall look into that as well. [Because she needs a break between reading biochem technology books and learning computer code.]

No. The alternative is my family being torn a part, my younger siblings becoming wards of the state, and I have no idea of my fate. It's better if I go with him. We'll at least be together.

[arealwoman]

And there's absolutely no one else to help you?

[signedlefthanded]

No. Those who have have either left or were killed.

[arealwoman]

[ At least being seventeen meant that she didn't have long to go until she was legally an adult, not that that was reassuring ]

You're safe here. [ It wasn't particularly comforting either but it was all that she had ]

[signedlefthanded]

I know. I have a lot of people looking out for me. Though I miss my siblings more than anything. [That was the only thing that really sucked about being there.]

[arealwoman]

Apparently time's frozen while we're here. Nothing can happen to them

[signedlefthanded]

I know. But I've been here almost a year. It doesn't ease the heartache at all.

[arealwoman]

That's the thing with pain, not a lot help.

[signedlefthanded]

No. Not even a little. But I have good friends here. So it's a distraction at least.

[arealwoman]

You'll do alright.

[signedlefthanded]

I am so far.

[arealwoman]

Keep thinking that, it'll help.

[signedlefthanded]

When the Castle isn't screwing everything else.

[arealwoman]

Which can be a problem. [ She doesn't know just how much yet ]

It doesn't happen always.

[signedlefthanded]

I've talked in code only and hallucinated blood - aside from the castle turning my room into my old home.

[arealwoman]

Definitely a problem.

[signedlefthanded]

But it's been awhile, so no complaints at the moment.

[arealwoman]

Aye, but just be careful in case it happens again.

[signedlefthanded]

Which it probably will.

[arealwoman]

At least you know that, you're half prepared.

[signedlefthanded]

It doesn't help much.

[arealwoman]

I don't think anything could.

[signedlefthanded]

You just sort of deal with them and wait for it to be over.

[arealwoman]

What about when it's happening? Do you know what's going on?

[signedlefthanded]

Not always. Usually someone around you will notice though.
