Um... [she pauses, trying to figure out how to say what she wants to say. it's kind of a big topic] I felt really sad last week, but I feel a lot better now! But when I was sad, I said that I missed my Mom and my Dad a lot. But even though I do miss them, I don' t normally feel sad here! Because, Big Bro and his friends.. and my new friends and family are all here, so I'm never lonely.
So, I'm okay, and I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. I'm really really lucky that I met everyone here, so.. thank you, for everything! [mushyyyyy, but she wanted to say it ;D]
[and after that, someone is crouching outside next to a frozen lake. She's all decked out in snow gear, and has a pair of ice skates in her hand... After contemplating the ice for a second she puts her hand inside of one of them, and pushes down on the ice. It feels solid, but Nanako is nothing if not cautious, so she turns back to the journal]
How can you tell if ice is strong enough to go ice skating on it?
