Wait, Yang woke up?!?
Oh, that would explain a lot of why she came at me with the survivor's guilt thing.
Brothers, I thought something might have been up, but she has trouble opening up.
But let's be really frank about this, and admit that I think everyone from Remnant does.
That place breeds suspicion, paranoia and internalizing problems like maggots on meat.

I've got Emerald, but I'm glad she's been making friends.
I'm more glad that you're giving her a chance to not be Cinder's toy, to be a person on her own.
I can and will do everything I can for her, because I love her, but having more than me helps.

You alright?
I know you lot want to get back more than me.
But she's still your sister, and family is family.

Yeah.
We talked about it briefly but I know she isn't taking it very well.
Yeah. I've noticed that it's kind of a theme with us. I guess it's just kind of the nature of our world.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
I want to give her and you a chance. And... Well I know things have been rocky between us, but I'm glad we're trying to make things right.
You both... I'm glad you're both there for each other. I think that's important here and I know we're on different sides back home but I hope you get the chance to do the same there.

I'm holding up. Yang's back with the person she cares about and I wouldn't take that away from her at all.
And... Well I do have to get back home but I'm not in a rush to get there either. This place has grown on me and I don't want to abandon the people I care about here.
So... As long as I know I'm getting back to Yang someday, that's enough for me.

The knowledge that time doesn't really pass if we leave this dream probably helps.
Admittedly, it makes me want to leave this place even less, considering that I've finally found something here.
I'm trying as well, but it isn't always easy.
I do think, however, that I've begun to be able to see your face and not remember that night every time.
That hasn't been easy, but I've been getting there gradually.

How are the rest of you holding up?
Qrow was kind of a fucking wreck there for a bit, no offense.
I don't have much business stepping in, but he's been really out of it.

[clickclickbloom]

It means she has a few weeks before things get really hectic back home. Which is important.
Well I know people are looking for a way to stick around. You might want to try talking with them. I'd rather not fight you back at home if that's possible.

That... Means a lot. I'm happy for you. I won't force you to hang out with me until we figure that.

Uncle Qrow is still struggling. A bit. Last month was hard on him but I'm going to have a talk with him.
I think Penny and Oscar are okay.
There are more of us around lately and it's hard to keep track of, but I'll do my rounds and I'll keep you psted.

[threelayers]

That's the basic plan.
I think Emerald would want to go back, but only if she could keep the memories.

[So she hoped anyway]

I think it helps a lot to interact, to know that we can trust each other.
It's tricky, but we're definitely in better territory than we've been I hope.
I'm going to be checking these sinkholes out, if you want to join me.

[A bit of a chance to do it intentionally instead of accidentally.]

Hopefully he can get past all that. He's good in a fight.
Raven and this one guy from Atlas are around here somewherre, and I swear I saw Ozpin.
Oh yeah, and the Schnees have been making appearance.
This place seems to like messing with Remnant.
