Dear Diary,

Valentine has been acting weird! Weirder than usual, I am afraid he's done something very stupid or is about to.

We haven't been back to the Paris institute in a while; mother hasn't been feeling too good, especially after father past away. I am just worried that everything's going to topple over soon and that something big and uncontrolled is going to come this way.

Oh Valentine does have a girlfriend! I know I was shocked too, he's so cold just like father but this girl is really nice, Jocelyn I think her name was. She's got lovely Amber coloured hair, very rare in Alicante, and she speaks in such a soft tone, she almost too good for my brother. I have a feeling he'll just break her heart.

Mother has been very distant from us. It was Valentines graduation from the academy and she would do my hair so it's nice nor would she come along and show her support. It's fair to say that her fighting days are over too!

She wouldn't even let me go to a Clave meeting even thought I am 18 and legally allowed to attend…
