When I woke up, I felt like I was back in my own body for the first time in a long time.
Lunar was waiting next to me. I wonder why, after how badly I've always treated him...? But I'm kind of glad he's here.
I may have returned, but I still don't know much about this place, so I decided to go find Kitten first.
Kitten was in the selenia garden.
I told her about the danger St. Binah is in, and asked about a way back to the Outer Lands. But Kitten responded coldly. She said that I'm always basing what I do on what others say, that I never try and think for myself.
That was when I first realized the truth. The truth that up until now, I've never even once really listened to anyone, considered their words or decided for myself what to do. And I knew that I wanted--that I had to change that. But I was doubtful Kitten would believe simple halfhearted words, so I cut my hair. It's not that I really cared about my hair that much, but I wanted to show that I was throwing away my old self.
Kitten still didn't seem to really believe me, but I'm serious. I will change.
But I don't even know a way to find out whether St. Binah really is going to collapse, much less how to save it if it is. Kitten suggested that Vyers, the mayor of the city, might know something, so I decided to ask him for information. This time, I'll think for myself, of course...and take responsibility for my actions. I will never forget that.
