Dinner went very well with Nia & Co. on Monday and I think my brother may soon have a lovely girlfriend.

However, my brother's still shaken up from his arrest. He doesn't like to go outside. He fears running into any Ruritarians. He showed me a few bruises he received from the guards rough handling him. And we've all made sure that no PLFZ items appear on anything that might show in public. I'm glad to be out of the fighting zone, but there seems to be no place to go that one can escape the constant feeling of big brother over your shoulder.

I'm tired. Of everything.
