This is the first day I've felt well enough to sit up and try to do a few things. My side still hurts like hell, but they say it'll get better and soon there'll just be a scar there, and on my back where it came out. Which is kinda cool, I guess... guys like bullet scars, right? Other than that, I was just a bit banged up, bruises and scratches and shit, but those are getting healed up too. I feel pretty good, considering. Mostly just tired right now.
From what people are saying, it was a big success... I mean, people died, but we got done what we needed to, so it was worth it. The news is saying it wasn't that bad, but I was 20 meters from the blasts when they started, and I can tell you that was a whole hell of a lot of explosions. So I'm pretty sure most of what they're reporting is bullshit, trying to make themselves look less bad.
We still don't know who got killed. Gadaquali did, at least, and maybe Xavier too, I'm not sure. Apo says he looked pretty bad when he saw him, but I don't remember that part real clearly. And that old lady I tried to help, I don't know what happened to her either. I hope she's okay, she seemed like she knew what she was doing.
I'm glad Apo is okay. He just got a graze on his arm from a bullet, otherwise he was fine. And he shot that bitch who shot me... I guess you could say he saved my life - I mean, I could have done it myself, but he got there first, and that's okay. He's not rubbing it in or anything. I think he was pretty worried about me.
I don't know what to say about what I thought I saw at the end there... I was really hurting, and I keep thinking maybe it was a hallucination or something. But I don't know... Apo hasn't said anything about it, and I'm sort of afraid to bring it up, in case it makes him upset right before he goes into t-space on this ...mission, or whatever you want to call it. I dunno...
I think I should lie down again now, I feel sort of dizzy.
