In a journal (pink, fluffy, with a heart on the cover) it reads:
Hello! I'm Pibby! And welcome to LEARNING WITH PIBBY!
Well, this isn't the usual, but Beta Kid told me writing in here would help! I'm not sure where Melira got this journal from (all she told me was "don't worry about it"), but if it helps, it helps!
So! I will be using this to write down all of those new words I'm learning! For example: taxes! Melira says those are the actual evil, but BK said that they're very good, because they help a lot of people. Then they both got into an argument about it? All I could understand was that it involved this thing called "money". I dunno what that is, so I'll ask them about it later! (When they stop arguing, that is…)
A latter entry reads:
Hi again, and welcome to learning with Pibby!
I'm learning so much! They are so many words to write down, I'm not sure where to begin!
I'll say, though, sometimes my friends are very silly! Bun Bun, I know you would like them. They try to define words I already know! Like stairs, soup, or bikes (Melira says that one doesn't count, because I didn't know about cars. But cars and bikes are very different!)
They even tried to define accident!
I know what's an accident it was an accident I did everything I could I swear I did everything I could I didn't mean to let you go I should have never let you go
Word of the day: Restaurant! (It's a very nice place where a lot of people go to eat)
This page is covered in blood stains
Word of the day: Gone (I know what that is)
We're so tired.
It's been several battles already, and we're nowhere close to be done. We fight so much, so hard, and for what? We don't know if we can win. I can't blame those who feel at the end of their rope.
But I have to believe it's all for something. I have to believe we can win. Maybe it's the Protagonist in me speaking. Darwin did tell me that that type of baseless confidence is something a lot of Protagonists have. But I think it's something more than that.
I think it's hope. Hope for a future. Hope for my friends' safety. Hope for us all.
And most of all, hope that one day, I'll hug you again, Bun Bun.
The journal has no more pages left.
