22. Day 38

Dear Ikko, Day 38

I've officially crossed the border into the Land of Lightning, the place of my people's origin. It looks so different than I had once imagined. It's the rainy season, I think, so I get to go to bed soaking wet every night. Oh, it's such a wonderful feeling…

I've revived the way to distract my mind from all the tormenting sounds of this journey—"Make-Out Paradise." I had almost forgotten about it for a while. It does a very fine job of being a distraction as I discovered a month ago. I'm not that close to finishing it, but, so far, it is very…um, weird.

I still have Rina's pendant. I guess you could say that it's given me good luck. I mean, I'm not dead yet and I still have all of my limbs.

I'm curious to know why she had it. I still think about the way she looked at me moments before I left. I keep thinking that, under her soft, gentle exterior, I saw a reflection of something inside of me. A fury, a determination…a wild fire. This struck a note in me. It made me want to finish my journey…no matter what happens to me along the way.
