LU 105 - Space 20

I ran into Mira and some of her friends today, odd bunch she was with. There was this other guy who stole Mira's journal, what a goddamn prick that guy was. I had to call in an officer just to get the guy to cut his shit out. This Jeremy guy, Mira's son, gave me a dictionary and explained some slang like "uwu." I also learned that those flags around town are for "gay" people, which are people that like their own sex. The lot of us stood around and chatted for a while, then took off for Chizzy's house after we all got bored of talking. There, since Mira was drunk, we kind of took care of her for a bit then went in the house since it was raining. We chatted some more in there, then everyone went to go relax. Since I was alone with Mira, I decided to ask about what happened to her since she mentioned earlier something did. She went on a drunk rant about how a separate ghost in a separate tree killed her when she tried to check it out. Apparently there's more than one tree, which peaked my interest. Mira also brought up how Illios and Edelle were going to one, which shocked me; so that's where Illios has been. Hunting those damn trees. She even offered to take me to one, but we ran into Chizzy on our way out. We bantered a bit about leaving, then Mira passed out. Then, Chizzy showed me a map that outlined where the three trees were, and I jotted down a rough sketch of it in that dictionary I got earlier. Mira came back to her senses, and seemed hung over

She was pissed when she learned what she told me, and begged me not to go to the trees. I initially wanted to go with Frezz to prevent me from dying, but apparently he only works for Morpheus so that's off the table. I fought some more with these kids, which escalated quickly; that fucking drug made me sloppy, I acted like I used to. I did learn some things from them, like how Illios was using that dream universe to go between trees. I eventually tried the emotion card, saying how I knew Illios as a friend, but still no dice. I gave up, and stormed off back to spawn. I need to calm down, those kids riled me up. After sitting for a bit, Mira came by and I offered her a seat next to me. I apologized for arguing, and blamed it on getting emotional over Illios and the drug. She accepted my apology, and went on about how she understood how I felt. Then I explained how I didn't wanna get involved with the tree, due to how eerily similar it is to the shard. I went on a vague rant about the shard since Illios let this kid in on some of the events, and explained my experience with the shard; namely, dying to the shard and stopping it. Apparently Illios had her think the shard happened not terribly long ago, so I thankfully didn't have to explain how I'm so old. After I stopped ranting, Mira seemed to understand why I wanted to avoid the tree and sympathized with my trauma. I went on, getting philosophical about how the world is mysterious and cruel, and how it's driven by repetition and luck. Mira pointed out how lucky I've been getting, and I just said that life is a game and I'm playing it well. After some more deep talk, Mira thanked me and headed back home. Finally, I can stop pretending like I care. Although, revisiting old memories did pull out a spark of old emotion out of me. I may have gotten a bit emotional with Mira, but I don't care; I'm going to watch her die anyways, so who cares if I get a bit personal with her? Whatever, I need to rest this day off.
