-45
Less than two weeks left until I reach the full year. I never used to keep track of time that much, but in this place it actually matters. I've grown older. Am I going to be stuck here until my hair finally turns grey, or will the Malnosso send me home before that happens? There's no doubt about it that I still have unfinished work. First that Centurion, then Duke Bryant... Both told me the same thing. Guardian of the new World Tree...
I can't live in the past. The future needs my attention more. As nice as the Malnosso were to return her engagement ring to me, I'm going to stop clinging to a dream that will never be fulfilled. Having a family only creates more weak spots for others to target, anyway.

Still no sign of Noishe? He can't have been sent home this early.
