After Dragon finished building me a beautiful castle, they formally adopted me. Even if he’s only 4 years older, they were already acting like they were my ⌿⏃⍀⟒⋏⏁, so we made it official.

He’s engaged to Crow, which may be a slight problem… seeing as how Dragon is loyal to L’Manberg as far as I’m aware, and Crow is leading a… war effort against the country.

Crow has a ⌇⍜⋏ of her own- Connor. We’ve already been acting like ⌇⟟⏚⌰⟟⋏☌⌇… killing each other friendly-ly as ⌇⟟⏚⌰⟟⋏☌⌇ do. And Crow herself is a bit trickier. She doesn’t yet accept me as her future ⌇⏁⟒⌿-⎅⏃⎍☌⊑⏁⟒⍀, so I’ll have to work for it. I look up to Crow, I really do. I’ll have to do coming drastic.

I love L’Manberg. It’s probably the first place that actually felt like home. I was the lucky number 7th member. Everything feels right there. The people are so kind ⏃⋏⎅ ⏁⊑⟒⊬ ⎅⍜⋏’⏁ ⌰⍜⍜☍ ⏃⏁ ⋔⟒ ⎅⟟⎎⎎⟒⍀⟒⋏⏁ ⏚⟒☊⏃⎍⌇⟒ ⟟ ⏃⋔ ⏃ ⋔⍜⋏⌇⏁⟒⍀.

But I feel I have to put building my family first. ⊑⍜⍀⟒⊑ will probably get over it. The rest of them won’t, at least for a long time. But I’ve waited so long to belong to a family. Connor’s onboard, I’ve told him the plan. I showed Crow too. It has to work. The plan has to work.
