i am still angry
i do not think i will ever not be angry over Sanna's death
but just as i cannot be afraid forever, i cannot be angry forever either
as much as i want to
as much as it pains be to be anything but angry
as much as it feels like being anything less is a disservice to her memory
i know i cannot
i know. . .she would not want that
so i will work to be better
if not for me than for her
*****
we have made a new friend
he is pretty and damp and smiley
dear gods he is so nice
painfully nice
his sheer amount of sunshine radiating from him reminds me of Caleb
it hurts
but it is also nice
a different kind of comfort in a time i could use it most
*****
i told Meryll the truth of myself
she is now our captain and she should be aware the danger i present
but. . .she said i should not follow her simply because she is my captain but because i want to
. . .
i . . . i think i want to
i do not have anything else to do, but
but i like her
i trust her
she is. . .a friend
they are all my friends
perhaps that is purpose enough
