Despite getting drunk and having another reason to dislike a Lumine alternate, I think it helped a bit. Talking with Zero later helped as well. I think I needed that. Just having someone to lean on and tell me I had helped. And having Axl come to me about it, and being able to help, was good too. He was pretty angry about it, understandably. But I hope I managed to distract him some from that anger later in the Nexus.

Aya had some good news which helped cheer me up. Aya seems to have a cheering effect on people. She's dating someone named Ginta. Everything went fine with her visiting his family. She's also invited me to visit her homeworld. It'll be good to go somewhere where no one else knows me, and where there's nothing dangerous happening.

She was also asking about people with fiction written about them in other worlds and how learning it affects your future. I think you shouldn't let something like that rule your life.

Kaa was asking about the most boring person or thing I knew. Sounds like the kind of question you ask out of boredom, yourself. He also mentioned his adopted brother has shown up in the Nexus, from an earlier timeline. I didn't catch his name, but I'm sure he'll be easy to spot. A naked human raised by wolves can't be that hard to miss, after all.

Kaa also offered to give me mental shields. However, I'm not entirely comfortable with having someone sentient poking around in my head, and I've never had trouble with telepaths before. They don't seem to exist in my world. I also don't want to interfere with the link I have to Zanzibar.

Zanzibar showed up the other day spitting fire in the middle of the 17th's break room. There was a moment of panic before everyone figured out that he wasn't actually on fire and that he was just showing off. Vain little lizard. Seems he found some of that firestone I've heard about in the Nexus and was playing around with it.

Douglas finally decided to visit the Nexus. Probably in hopes he could avoid well-intentioned coworkers from hauling him off to a bar to take a break. I directed him toward Reality Vanish.

I hope they're getting things back on track there. It's been a while since the attacks. I haven't been back yet, though. I feel guilty about that. I probably should have gone back to help with cleanup, but I didn't want to see more bodies.
