Props to those who catch the (obvious) allusion to my all-time favorite television show which aggressively rules every minute of my life. Yes, I am beyond obsessed.
My Diary by Genis Sage
67th day of Winter
Today started out like any normal day. I woke up at the same time as Raine and cooked breakfast. She actually asked if I would allow her to help one of these mornings, but it doesn't take a genius to know that Raine plus a kitchen is a horrible equation. It doesn't even compute properly. I love my sister, but I can't think of a single person that loves her cooking (or even just likes it a little bit). Sometimes I wonder if my mother was a good cook and if the genes merely skipped a generation. Whatever the case, I plan on making bread later, and if the Goddess Martel is shining on me then Raine will not offer her assistance.
The rest of the day played out rather typically. Classes were fine except for Lloyd flicking paper wads at me, and even though I was trying to concentrate on the lesson, I had to retaliate. I couldn't allow him to get away with a one-sided offense! But before we could properly wage war on each other Raine stopped us and warned us that the next time it happened would end with detention for both of us. The other kids think that because Raine is my sister that she will never put me in detention. If only . . .
There was something a little different from most days. Well, different now. I ate lunch alone today because Kratos pulled Lloyd out of class and Colette accidentally tripped into the wall. Raine doesn't always like to use her healing abilities for trivial things, but Colette hit the wall hard enough to dent the wood panels, so Raine sent her home to rest. Even though a lot of things have changed since the Journey of Regeneration, not everything is different. Without Lloyd and Colette, the other students see me as a half-elf hero who is too superior to even approach. I think it's entirely preposterous because I am no hero nor am I "too superior to approach." The only thing that is true about that idea is that I am a half-elf, and maybe the students are a little wary of that. But, I don't mind. I used to, but I know that Colette and Lloyd are just temporarily away, so I could eat my lunch peacefully. It actually was kind of relaxing. I didn't have to share my food with Lloyd and I got to pick a secluded spot to have all to myself. I saw Raine looking at me oddly at one point, but she didn't bother me. I think she understands.
Since I was alone, I had a lot of time just to think. I actually do a lot of thinking, as is evident from this diary, but I kind of lost myself in my mind for a little bit today. As I was chewing my sandwich, I got this random notion about how things would be different if the past was changed. I know it's incredibly abrupt, but it just popped into my head, so I began to explore it. There are a lot of things that caused a chain reaction that eventually led to where we all are today. I mean, just think; if I hadn't talked to Marble and gotten Lloyd in trouble, then Iselia would never have been attacked by the Desians. But, if Iselia hadn't been attacked, then Lloyd and I would not have been banished, and we would not have been able to catch up to Colette, Raine, and Kratos. The list goes on and on, and even though a lot of those events were painful and emotional, I think they happened the way they were supposed to. But, what if there was a way we could go back? What if somebody like Yuan has some sort of machine that can send people back in time and then we can guide ourselves discreetly into doing everything right. I don't know if fate would allow such a thing, but it would be convenient. Except something would probably go wrong. Something always does go wrong, so it wouldn't be fair to exclude this. Our brains would probably become confused with what era it is because of all the similarities and differences and how they skip back and forth so sporadically. I can see it now. We'd all start to get nosebleeds or something and slowly lose our sanity. Ha-Ha, sounds like our kind of journey alright!
Uh-oh, I see Lloyd and Colette walking up the path. School has been over for a little while and I've just been relaxing at home while Raine grades homework. Maybe Lloyd has an exciting story about why Kratos pulled him out of class. It's probably just another fake excuse so Kratos can spar or something. I'll update if it actually is anything exciting. Until another day! Bye!
