Dear Ikko, Day 101

I just realized that I've stopped counting my daily traveling hours. Well, lately my hours are slowly decreasing. My leg is still bothering me, I've lost a lot of blood, I'm absolutely exhausted, I'm very dehydrated, and it's really hot. So, I feel as though I could collapse anytime now.

I'm starting to think that it would be best if I took tomorrow off to sleep. That would give me enough energy for the rest of my trip.

For some odd reason, the voices have stopped their attacks all together. I'm glad, but it also leads me to wonder…maybe they're preparing for my death. Maybe they're saving their energy to kill me. I really hope they aren't. It would be such a shame to make it this far and then lose all my efforts in one night. It's awful just to think about it.
