To Twilight Sparkle,
First of all, let me assure you that I'm still hard at work on the Luna rescue. It's just… not going as well as I hoped.
I've been making trips to the area around the Costco that Luna mentioned—the one where they're clearly running some kind of eldritch operation. I've asked around, followed leads, and even sneaked into a few places to gather information. But this place is a maze. Not just physically, but mentally. The more I try to dig into what's going on, the more lost I feel. It's like the whole town is just an extension of the warehouse itself. I'm starting to think that maybe this Costco is its own kind of prison—one that keeps people entrapped in ways we don't even understand yet.
That being said, I did make some headway in the food court area (don't ask how, because I'm not proud of the methods I had to use to get in). I got to try one of their corn dogs while I was there—Twilight, they were honestly delicious. I know I should be more focused on saving Luna, but the corn dogs were somehow… perfect. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and they had a slight tangy flavor I couldn't quite place. I had more than one. It felt almost like a sign—I've had them before, Twilight. I don't know where, but I've had them before, and I swear they've been in my life for years. Maybe it's nothing, but I just wanted to share that. Sometimes, a good corn dog can make all the difference in a search like this.
Anyway, back to Luna. From what I've gathered, she's still trapped inside. There are reports of her working, but I haven't been able to confirm if she's truly in control of herself anymore. If the Lost One is indeed wandering the halls of this place, then it's a good sign that Luna is probably on the edge, too. We need to act fast before she becomes completely consumed by whatever dark force is driving this madness.
I'm getting closer. I promise you that. But it's like trying to rescue a pony from a nightmare while you're trapped inside it yourself. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's the only way I can explain it. The more I dig, the deeper it all gets.
I'll keep you posted, Twilight. I know it seems like nothing's moving forward, but I promise, I'm not giving up. I can't. I won't.
Also, if you ever need a good snack to keep your strength up, I highly recommend you try those Costco corn dogs. Just don't overthink it, okay? Sometimes you need to embrace simple pleasures in the face of all this madness.
