I have been human for exactly three Earth months and already I am forgetting my Andalite body. What it's like to graze on the fields of the home world and how to run on four legs and the intricacies of tailfighting that took so long to master. How it feels to be in battle, with my hearts thundering in my chest and the awful, awful fear that grips at my mind.

Some things I miss greatly. Others, I don't believe I ever will.

Loren helps as she can but I do not believe she truly understands the gravity of the choice I made by choosing to come to Earth.
