I didn't accompany my friends today because I was still thinking that everything was over. I woke up to no new messages and only irrelevant notifications. I timed in for the last day of work for the week and got started with my daily tasks. Work was fairly easy, nothing big was happening today and it was just supposed to be smooth sailing. I also reserved our cake baking tickets for August 31. By lunchtime, my friends messaged me and we got to talking. We added each other back on Steam, which was weird considering that I don't remember unfriending them. Then we got into a Steam Family group. They then moved to messaging me on Discord after I sent them a screenshot of my videos from my Watch Later that we couldn't watch anymore. Then they asked me to watch that analog horror video from 4Plus. I agreed and we got into a call to watch that analog horror video. It was perfect timing because I had actually bought myself Wendy's because I was feeling sad and I needed a pick-me-up. We watched the analog horror video and things feel like they were back to normal, even though I know that it shouldn't be. They accompanied me for the remainder of my shift and we talked about a lot of things. We also did our daily quests together in Sky and collected some winged lights along the way. After that, we all left the call because we had to do other stuff. In the afternoon, I got messages from my sister saying that she had a big problem at work. She was staying at Greenbelt and, since I had nothing else to do, I wanted to personally go there and see her so I can check up on her. Going to Makati was a race of time for me because it was the evening of a long vacation so I expected traffic. The road the driver took was the wrong route and actually wasted time even though I directed him elsewhere. I was even dropped off at the wrong stop. But eventually, I got to meet my sister and thankfully she was doing better. She was still a bit sad, but she seems okay now that I was there. She even expected that I would suddenly show up, which seemed to surprise me because I don't think I would be the type of person to do that, but apparently I am. In actuality, I want people to show up for me when I'm sad, but since no one's there for me anymore, I might as well be that person for the people I know. I decided that we should have dinner then and there and my sister suggested that we have Pepper Lunch. I kind of knew that it was a bit expensive, but whatever. We got to eat and then she tells me all about what happened, and also tells me that she also got advice from mom and dad. All of us are saying the same thing, surprisingly, and I guess she eventually listened after I gave her advice about it. After eating, we walked around Greenbelt for a bit and I told them that we should go to Timezone since I know I still had some load left. We played Wangan Midnight for a bit and I tried to complete a few races in. Also, I got 200 trophies now and got a big trophy for it. We only played that before we had to leave because my sister had to buy medicine. Unfortunately, there were no Mercury Drug stores nearby and we just went to the Starbucks downstairs before we went home. I ordered for us and talked to my sister for a bit more before we had to leave because I already booked us a Grab ride home. We got picked up and were on the way home. While I was in the Grab ride, my friends messaged me and we got to talking. I essentially told them what had happened because they didn't know I was going out as well and told them the entire situation. They invited me to play Crimson Snow in the call and I agreed to play when I got home. Eventually, my sister and I arrived home and I played Crimson Snow until midnight. The game was really scary and I was so scared because of the crazy lady chasing me down. This went on for a bit until we completed the entire story of Crimson Snow as the day ended.
