Been here a while. It's great exploring and meeting so many people I wouldn't have back home. Don't get me wrong.

I just can't help being homesick. Or, I guess, at least, missing my best friend. I know not everyone else here has ended up together with their friends or family. How has everyone else been dealing with it? Mikleo and I were together all the time back home, before I ended up here.

[Except that One Time they fought about Mikleo becoming a Sub Lord and joining Sorey in the pact with Lailah. But. Details.]

I agree. As much as I would like to return home, it makes me sad to think of not seeing the friends we’ve met here. If there was a way to keep in touch, I think we would all appreciate it.

Though it sounds like your friends and family are quite dear to you. I hope you’re able to see them soon, whether they come here or not.

[historiology]

Even just if there was a way to stay in touch. Write or use these or something. I don't know if something like this would work back home though?

They are. Mikleo's been by my side through everything, ever since I can remember and probably before then. I just miss him. My friends. Gramps. I only left our village not that long ago back home so being away from home is still new to me I guess.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

If there was some way to test the theory... alas, I'm not sure if that's possible right now. Not without more information on how the rifts work.

I can understand that. Aside from my sister, there's also the rest of the children at the orphanage that we all grew up at, and we all regard each other as family. It's been hard, being away from them for so long. So in a way, I can understand that feeling you're feeling.

[historiology]

Yeah. We need to look into it more. See how it works. Then if there is a way to control it somehow.

Right. I know I'm not related to them by blood but. We're family. They raised me. Raised Mikleo. That's as good as family. What family does. Be there, look after each other.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

If you ask me, family isn't always defined by blood. If you grew up together, were raised together, and take care of each other, isn't that what family is?

[historiology]

Exactly! You get it. I'm not sure if everyone does exactly. I guess Mikleo and I, our situation is kind of unique though. The seraphim found us when we were babies and raised us ever since.

So yeah. I consider the villagers of Elysia to be family.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

It can be hard for others, especially if they have only ever considered one group of people their family. Not every family has such a community to support them, and it's only natural to consider such people an extension of one's family. But I am of the belief that family is important, no matter how they're defined.

[historiology]

I guess ours, Elysia is more like a community. But if I had to say like, I guess, immediate family it would be Mikleo and Gramps. But you're right. Family is important.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

That's right.

I know it's not much, but I hope you get to see your family soon. Perhaps they'll show up sometime.

[historiology]

Yeah. I know I'm probably not the only one. I hope everyone gets to reunite with their friends, their family if they aren't together here already.
