Today was shaped to be like the ones that came before: I'd be sad, lonely, and crying. I couldn't sleep the night and this night actually was a very dangerous night to stay awake on because I've been sleep-deprived for a few days now. My sleep schedule is out of whack and I just wasted my time in the early morning.

Still, I had work to do and I timed in early since I was already awake. I did my morning tasks and my morning quickly passed. Then my friends messaged me about some other thing and the conversation ended there. I then had a thought of asking them what was happening, like what was going on. I had this whole internal debate going on and I just wondered if I should make this next decision. I fought against it, then ultimately decided that I couldn't handle the deafening quiet and reached out. I asked them "What's happening" and they immediately replied.

We got back into talking, although it was awkward at first. It was weird seeing them in my chatbox again so soon. And not long after that, we got into a call again. I was still not over the events that transpired so I told them about it. I never got my apology and we all disconnected from the call. We argued about it continuously and kept at it until we just got tired. We talked about other topics after that.

After my shift, I essentially just had free time. I wanted to sleep but I felt weird because I wasn't sure where they and I belonged. I wondered what they would be doing for the evening and they said nothing, just playing a mobile game. I wanted to sleep, so I said to them, "See you around." And then they called me out and said that was what I was playing. I had a feeling they were hiding something from me, but I relented and asked them if they were free to play a game. I eventually got them to join a call with me. I feel a little betrayed because what they said was a lie and I eventually found out. But whatever, I continued and offered them a few games to play with like TEKKEN, and Stardew. But then I told them about Nicole and showed them Sky: Children of the Light. They went back into the game and they all added me as a friend there, then we moved to Nicole's server to hang out and stuff. We continued to play on her server, just collecting missing children for upgrading our wings and other things. By the end, they all had to leave and called it a night.

I remained in Nicole's server for a while and we finished Eden, then I was able to ascend fairly quickly. I "finished the game" upon doing that and had my character be reborn. I thanked Nicole for helping me out after that and I went to sleep to recover.
