Hey Ran, how are things?

Hello anonymous . Good I mean as much as it can be expected. It’s been two days since I updated. Sorry about that. I’ve been trying to take a break from everything. Niki came home last night. She didn’t talk to me until after she took a really long hot shower. I think she used all the hot water.

She made ramen for dinner which was a nice change from the dry saltine crackers and cheese sticks I had been stealing. I think she went to the store before she came home because the pantry was restocked. I’m glad she did because I don’t think I could have handled walking Dow the drive and standing at the bus stop. I don’t think I can do it on my own yet.

Dinner we spent talking about things. I told her I was pretty sure I had a bad cold I don’t know if she bought it but she made me promise to go back to school on Monday. Until then though I can hide away in my room.

Her job is really stressing her out. The case they’re working on , not that she can tell details to me, is really putting a rock on her back. Ive certainly never seen her this tired. Right before I left the kitchen she sort of…. Grabbed my shoulder and looked me really deep in the eyes.

I don’t really like eye contact. Which she knows but she looked really concerned so o stayed still and then she told me to stay out of the woods for a few weeks.

It was unnerving and I’ve been thinking all about it since. Could she some how know about, that night? I don’t know and honestly I can just take her advice and not leave the house.

My room is clean now so I decided to spend today (Saturday) playing on my old game boy that I found when cleaning. All my games are the same way they were 5 years ago when I lost it. It was very nostalgic.

Anyway. Sorry for the long wait update. I have a few new pictures to show everyone so I might do that later as well as a bit more thoughts to write down. Including a dream I had. Thanks for the asks everyone

How's Niki's work?

Hello anonymous. Thank you for asking. She’s been really tired. Always really tired. Twice she’s stayed overnight at the station. And I’m worried she hasn’t been sleeping, I mean I can’t talk about not sleeping but… she actually needs it. She’s overworking herself.

Karl told me yesterday that there recently an increase in missing person case in the area and that they wanted to make sure I was careful when walking to the bus stop. Yeah I went to the bus stop. I couldn’t pretend to be sick every single day. I just walked quickly through the trees. I still dream about the tunnel… Anyway I think the missing people cases is what she working on and it’s really stressing her out. Maybe this weekend I can get her to take a break. Watch a movie Or soemthing

Where are your parents? Do you live with your older sister?

So my mom sorta left. Not really?? It’s basically like she wanted to continue living her life but not in our small town in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Niki hates her for it. I don’t really? It’s weird. We have different dads. Niether of them we knew. Niki also hates hers. She has a lot of hate in her tiny body. Our mom sometimes visits and I’m more likely to talk to her then Niki is. She’s more like a cool aunt then a mother figure imo. And Niki pretty much is my legal guardian. She’s almost 10 years older then me so it’s fine. So yeah

why doesn't eryn like you?

We grew apart, he doesnt talk to me anymore. And i dont talk to him. I dont really know WHEN we grew apart. We just did. Im not even sure if he still lives in the area. He would be a senior right about now i think, but he dropped out in the middle of his junior year and went off the grid i guess. Im sure hes okay out there somewhere.

maybe you should tell niki you woke up in the woods?

I can’t. I can’t tell her. If I tell her, she will be worried and she’s already so stressed out by the case she’s working on. Shes rarely around in the mornings and if she is, it’s because she was just called in. It’s not a big deal. Well not for me, I mean it’s stressful. Because I don’t know what happened but it’s not important enough to distract Niki. She’s busy. I told her I was sick. She said I could stay home tomorrow. It’s okay everything’s fine. I just need to deal with it on my own.

Are you sure you're awake, Ran?

Yes. Yes, this is real. I just don’t know… where I am? It doesn’t make sense. It shouldn’t make sense. I’m going somewhere but I don’t know where. Everything is strange, everything is wrong,,,
