Hi, guys! Here's this week's chapter:

September 10, 170 A.E.

Entry #10

Today Msr. Aster gathered us all in the living room and announced that they were going to join the war.

"I got a letter a few weeks ago asking me to be a medic for one of the troops," they said, "I've decided that I must help."

"So you're leaving?" Wingdin asked, his voice quivering.

"Yes, kids," said Mr. Gaban, "Madrone will be leaving. They won't be back until the Angel's Festival."

"You can't leave, Moddy!" Cortisia screamed and threw herself in Msr. Aster's lap. "I want you to stay and play with me and I'll miss you so much!"

Msr. Aster hugged Cortisia tightly. Their eyes looked shinier than usual. "I have to, Cortisia. It's my duty to protect the monsters. Don't worry. I'll be back in a month and a half."

"But you'll be gone again after a few days," Wingdin pointed out, staring at the floor.

"I'll write as many letters as I can," Msr. Aster promised, "I understand why you and your sister don't want me to go, Wingdin, but I think you understand why I have to."

"I know," Wingdin admitted, "Monsters are fighting in the war and getting really hurt, so it's your responsibility to help them. And...and..." He burst into tears and hugged his parent.

Msr. Aster squeezed both of their children tightly. "I love you both," they said, "and I'll miss you every moment I'm away from home."

Mr. Gaban joined the hug. "Stay safe," he said. Msr. Aster told him that they will.

Meanwhile, Toriel and I just stood there awkwardly and watched the Gaster family hug and cry. I didn't want Msr. Aster to join the war either, but I wasn't their son, so I wasn't sure if it was okay to hug them. I was sure Toriel was having the same train of thought. Then Msr. Aster asked us to join in.

"Your parents have asked us to take care of you guys," they said, "That means you're part of our family. Come and give me a hug."

Toriel and I stared at each other. Then Toriel started crying too and practically pounced on Msr. Aster. I gave in and hugged them too. The hug felt so warm...I have not hugged anyone like that since I said goodbye to Mother and Father.

Msr. Aster left after dinner tonight. Cortisia started crying so Wingdin picked her up and took her to bed. I think I hear him going to his room now.

I will miss Msr. Aster. I hope they will be alright.

Remember, invading Russia in the middle of winter is a very dumb thing to do.
