my leg was cut off and i refused to let others sew it back on

i was bleeding out and ppl were begging to fix it

i was put under a sedative and it was sewn back on

i felt tingles in my leg and looked down and thats how i found out

i asked my director if i was put under a sedative and she made the “tea” face

Laup tells us to take off our extra clothes (meaning outside clothes keeping us warm). She started a meeting.

Later, Aak was there.

We were near a football field passing around a ball We were all singing a song. “This is the year of our lives...”

There were these audition things.

I talked to arit, and jokingly said I was a pedophile masturbator.

I talked to someone else the rest of the time.

*Gwt* came up to me at the end and asked why I never went to audition. I said I was never called. She said I was. I said they never told me.

I go back to where I was talking to arit, and heard him telling the director what I jokingly said earlier. I said, “wow.”

He said he was joking and the directors knew that. They were all laughing. Tears welled up in my eyes.

He sang a song to make it up to me. I smiled.
