i find myself missing my friends and family more and more nowadays, but i just can’t seem to find the courage to do something about it. i don’t know if it’s simply the same fears i held back then about being seen fully, or if it’s just worry i won’t meet the same expectations now. all i know is that while i miss father and the staff and my friends, i can’t find it in me to try and seek them out because i know that they know the truth now.
i feel slightly ashamed, and more guilty than anything. i really don’t know when i’m going to stop feeling this way, it’s bothersome sometimes, but i know that it’s just a result of my lies. so, if my brother or my father or my friends see this: i’m sorry. i’m sorry i lied, and i’m sorry i hurt you in different ways, especially you, diluc. i can’t say this to you, but i still feel guilty about it, and i don’t think i’ll ever stop regretting it. and father, i’m sorry i never told you the truth. you deserved to know it.
