PARADISA

Talking giraffes, a spaceship crashing, and then a party when everyone returned... Expeditions sound so wonderful. I hope I can go on the next one.

May I speak with anyone who saw the spaceship up close? I've been inside ships that travel through space before and would like to know what this one was like.

There are so many pies! Is this another holiday? I like it a lot.

But are you supposed to have curry in a pie? It doesn't taste right.

I really like it here, but there are so many people who are sad. They seem angry at the castle when it does things to them. But the castle is a living thing... Maybe it just doesn't understand things the same way people do. I know I have trouble understanding things. My friends were always there to explain it to me back home, and I made friends here who can explain too.

I'm still not sure if I can understand the weird castle shit, but I'm also not sure I would behave any differently if I were a living castle.

This is a long time to be gone from Lhant. When we were all traveling together, it didn't seem so bad. But now it's just me... I know that they won't worry because I'll go back, but I miss them a lot.

I wonder what they would think of this place? Should I want them to come, or be happy they're home where they belong?

All this cold reminds me of when we were traveling through Fendel. Hubert and Cheria didn't like the cold very much. I think it was because Hubert grew up in the desert, and Cheria's skirt didn't cover her legs. Asbel's lucky he's a cat now so his fur can keep him warm.

What does it feel like to turn into a cat? Do you still think about human things, or just cat things? And can the cats turn into humans here?

Cheria never acted like this when she was sick. Feeling sick must be different for everyone. I wish I knew what we could do to make people feel better.

What do you think, journal?
