Well, here I am again, and one year older on top of it. I don't know if I really want to be here, or if I'll ever be okay with it again. Maybe I should move out into the city or something like I planned to do awhile ago.
[some silence, where there's only the sound of her breathing evenly, and some nails tapping on the cover of the journal]
It's selfish of me. But I wish Dad was here. I really miss him, and --
[a deep breath]
I just wish there was someone who could say they love me and mean it, no matter when I see them, no matter how long it's been, no matter what -- world we're on. No matter what.
[another pause, before she lets out a sigh]
Alright, this is stupid. No moping allowed. There are things I have to do around here, and being depressed won't get them done.

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.

[And she'll be sitting in the kitchen at one of the tables, just looking around aimlessly and occasionally flipping through a few journal pages while she nurses this cup of tea. It's a little weird to be back in the castle, but she certainly can't complain about the amazing hot shower she took earlier …
Feel free to bug her!]
