[Today she's seated on her bed, her favorite spot for the more casual, cheerful messages to the network. As such, there's a smile on her face as she begins to speak.]

Hi! Um, I just wanted to say something really quick. My sixteenth birthday is in a few weeks, and I think I'm going to have a small party for it.

[She still doesn't think it's such a big deal, but she's fairly certain someone who's been here a while would have remembered and insisted she have a party anyways. That's what happened last year, at least!]

It won't be anything extravagant at all, and nobody has to get anything for me even if they decide to come. But everyone I know is welcome! It's on the afternoon of the 24th, but I know a lot of people are busy, so I thought it'd be good to mention it in advance. Oh, and of course it's okay if anybody can't make it! That's all I really had to say.

[And as such, the feed ends.]

Yeah. For me, I guess it's just - there were so many times back home I was scared he'd get hurt, or something even worse. And I know it's even more dangerous here, but it's easier to make sure he's alright, too.

[mediumdrip]

Yeah, I know what you mean. It sounds a little weird given the Darkness but at least we can protect ourselves from that.

[motioned]

Yeah, it's easy to make sure he stays inside at night.

I think the most important thing, though, is like... I don't know, I always feel safe whenever I'm with him. Like, really peaceful and complete and happy.

[mediumdrip]

That's so good to know. It's a really, really good feeling isn't it?

[motioned]

Yeah. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to figure it out! [She laughs.]

[mediumdrip]

It doesn't matter how long it takes you, as long as you do.

[motioned]

Yeah. And now - it's more wonderful than I could have even hoped for.

[mediumdrip]

I'm so glad.

You deserve all of the happiness in the world.
