I don't think I've ever experienced something like this before. To run a short distance, be around others or even stay outside for too long and not have to worry about falling ill. Is this what it's like to be free of the NIDS? I feel much stronger, and not just because Raphael is physically active, but... I at least feel like I won't wither away in time. Not that I think that'll happen to me! I'm sure there'll be a cure for NIDS someday soon, though it still doesn't stop me from feeling so... fragile. I suppose that's why I never like others knowing about my ailments. Not only do I not want them to worry for me, but also because I don't want them to treat me any differently than they do now. How selfish... I really should tell them. It's just hard to do so when I'm so used to bottling things up and hiding them away. I don't want to feel different...
I wonder if that's how Raphael is feeling now. If that's the case... I can't wait to give him his body back. I don't want anyone else to go through what I do every day.
Hm, I think we're almost out of cat food for Bastet... A run to the grocery store is needed! I wonder if we need anything else... Ah, how's everyone else coping with this event? It's... becoming easier, I think. I just hope the others who are affected by this think so, too!
