I'm not like them. I don't know how to be like them. The harder I try, the more obvious it gets. I'm not like Zach or Caspian or Blair or any of them. I can't forget where we are or what we're doing here. I can't just overlook what happened at home or what's happening to me here. It's getting worse, or maybe it just feels like it is. I worry about people like Nate finding out accidentally, people who live around us and have no idea about me.
Is it a lie to not tell people about what you can do? That you're going to live forever? If you have no physical response to pain, if you can't feel it at all, are you really alive? Do you have a soul? How can you tell?
All this pretending to be normal needs to stop. I'm not normal. I'll never be normal, and I need to stop using this city as a place to come back to so that I don't have to feel like a freak. Then again, if what Alex said is true, maybe this is the last place left for people like us.
For the sake of everyone else, though, I guess it's important to keep giving it the old college try.

I can't believe these words are actually coming out of my mouth, but you should listen to Blair over there on Socialization Lane and vote for Hiro. Not because he's the kind of person who will be able to make sure you party, but because he's the type of man who sticks to his promises and priorities. In a world of politics, believe me that's rare. In a world of people that's rare. There's no one I know more dedicated, honest, and willing to believe in everything and everyone than Hiro.
With that in mind, I have to make about a million cookies. Not only is this going to mean getting mass amounts of baking supplies, but this also means that I need about a thousand little cookie elves. So all those people that I promised I'd teach how to bake? I'M CALLING UPON YOU FOR DUTY.
Seriously, if you can help, that'd be really great. And really helpful. Though Zach and Alex, if you think you're at all getting out of it, think again. I know it's nice out. I know we have a beach here. I'll open a window and you can get within sitting distance once I chain you to the kitchen counter.
Kidding, kidding.
But we will be making these! And some ginger snaps, since Hiro requested. There are a number of things that I need to give to people, too, that include but aren't limited to: Ron's birthday present, Karolina's birthday thing that I mentioned a long time ago, aaand... other stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head. Everything kind of falls out of your mind when you find yourself suddenly cookie-inspired.
I do have one serious question, though: Is there anyone still out there who's been into the Underground further than just a few paces in? Is there anyone who's seen the clock in working order, instead of just... at a standstill? We shouldn't forget where we are.
VOTE FOR HIRO!
