Dear dairy

Seems like as of late, people haven't been needing me as much as I thought or as much as everyone use to, like everyone doesn't need my help or my advice anymore. I should feel happy about this, but I feel sadder and maybe a little alone. Even Kano, who seemed to stay by my side and through thick and thin, wasn't anywhere to be seen. For the last five days, I've been feeling more and more alone and keeping that outward appearance of seeming stern has become more exhausting lately. I can't help but feel on the verge of tears, both through the day and moments up to falling asleep at night.

I feel strange when I wake up though, I swear I couldn't have, but each morning the last few days. I've woken up to a blanket tucked around me and still felt warm.
