I didn't have the strength to tell him about restoring my memories. I'm afraid of losing him, afraid of being alone again. I'm hurting Catsu too much, but He's still there for me.
Now I have a whole week to think about my future and past, and make a choice in the present. And now we are going to a rented house, which is located in a national Park. That's where we'll live for the rest of our trip.
14:31. I want to stay here forever. I've never seen a house like this before. You can definitely survive a nuclear war in it, and I will definitely find the entrance to the bunker, because I am sure that it is here.
I'm enjoying my double bed, which I won back in a serious fight with Mary. I think she'll try her luck again tonight, so I won't have a chance to relax.
I'll sort things out, and then we'll go on a picnic with the whole family. Eating a vegetable salad in nature, what could be better? I hope the animals will be sociable and show themselves in all their glory.
17:58. I was inspired. There is a small waterfall and a cave in this national Park, so tomorrow I will definitely take a long walk with my camera while Nora and the others bask in the sanatorium that I refused. Because I want to be alone with myself, so I can think.
23:36. I'm staying in the Park and it's not up for discussion. On the site, you will be able to find a hot spring under the open sky.
But, the most interesting thing started here after water treatments. Because, as I'd expected, Mary hadn't given up hope of taking my big, soft bed. So, after leaving the source 10 minutes earlier, she went into my room and barricaded the door with a chest of drawers.
Of course, I didn't think my niece was capable of such a thing, but just in case, I took the key to the door on the balcony of my room with me. Now you should take the ladder, and, returning to their territory, expel the invader. The plan is ready, it remains to implement it.
Good luck to me.

– July 21, 05: 12. In the end, fighting for the bed, we fell asleep with our arms around each other. —
Day 32.
Good morning, Diary.
Today is Wednesday, July 19, 2073.
On the street +26, cloudy.
05:43. The morning dew and coolness, the singing of birds, the dawn breaking through the trees – an atmosphere that takes you far away from everyday problems. I want to stop this moment, but the thought flashes through my head: “what if it gets better?” – And you continue to enjoy the warm tea, sinking deeper into yourself.
An unforgettable feeling of harmony and tranquility.
07:36. I made Breakfast for everyone, because they won't be able to taste the food I made for the next 3 days. And I haven't eaten pancakes in a long time.
08:38. Now I'm alone in this house for a few days. During this time, I need to find a bunker, a secret room, a wine cellar, and a portal to the world of fantastic animals. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the existence of all the animals that live only here.
It is a pity that I will not be able to take the flying squirrel. I fell in love with her from the moment she flew to my shoulder and sat there. If I hadn't put her in a tree, she would have come with me to the house and then to the city. I hope I'll see her on the walk.
09:42. In all news feeds this article:
“Today at 09: 03 all the accused in the case of missing children were arrested. The organizer of the kidnappings is Gordon Mel, the owner of a large company “VL” for the production of virtual worlds.
He used the memories of children for a new project that “can immerse the user in childhood and fill his life with carefree memories of forgotten years of youth.”
This project has been on sale for a month, and users noted as a plus full immersion in the world and the absolute realism of feelings and emotions received during the game.
The company's operations have been stopped and its products are being checked.
All the missing children were found and returned to their parents. »
This news made me happy, but I still can't understand how this company was able to organize mass kidnappings of children in all corners of the world. Therefore, I will now look for additional information, which will be easy to find, since the materials of all solved criminal cases are in the public domain.
10:11. It turns out that the system was actually hacked on a daily basis, by a former employee of the security team who was put under arrest because of the distribution of the access code.
VL has bribed employees who control restricted cells for prisoners. Thanks to this, a former employee gained access to the security system and hacked it. This made it possible to control the input of signals from beacons to the system. That's why children disappeared without a trace.
The kidnappings could have gone on for a long time if it hadn't been for Becky. A pity is not a single mention of a brave dog who sacrificed his life for a blood sample. Thank You, Becky.
And now it's time to move forward in search of beautiful landscapes in the collection.
12:37. My little friend has flown back to me. I decided to call it Dorobo, which means thief, because this flying squirrel stole my heart and doesn't want it back. But I don't mind, to be honest.
13:12. I said something about the scenery, forget about it. Today only, take pictures of the Dorobo.
15:41. Even in the depths of the forest, it's getting hot, so I'll go home. I have long had my eye on the lonely Jacuzzi that is looking forward to my return. But I'll save the Spa treatments for the evening, because I want to go to the city to buy food for a themed dinner.
19:26. I met Rowley! I was surprised when I was addressed by name by a tanned, strong-built girl with short hair and a baby in her arms. But, after a moment of stupor, a whole wave of positive emotions followed.
We bumped into each other in the store, and then Rowley invited me over. On the way, we discussed our last conversation and concluded that both of us had succumbed to emotions and did not want to listen and understand each other.
It turned out that after graduating from high school, Rowley became pregnant (the system approved her and Emet as parents), and they moved to this city, since there was a UPC in Emet's specialty.
After Emelie was born, the system enrolled Rowley in a remote training program as a journalist. And now she works on regional news feed. So I told her the whole story about Becky, and Rowley was so interested in it that she promised to interview Mary and tell the world about the real hero. Then I told her about my life over the past 5 years.
Rowley wanted to contact me after graduation, but when she saw that I had blocked her access to my blog and phone number, she decided to forget about me. But it's a small world, and I'm glad we can sit together again at the same table, drinking lemonade on a hot evening, and laughing at our old mistakes. We're older now, but she's still the Jolly, chatty, energetic Rowley. My Rowley. We agreed to meet tomorrow and take a walk around the city.
By the way, I want to tell you a little about Emelie, although this name completely characterizes her. It seems as if she has absorbed all the qualities of her parents. Modest and silent, like Emet, but stubborn and selfish, like Rowley. This is a wonderful child, but with a complex character.
I'll give her a remote control car tomorrow. If she really were Emet's daughter, she would appreciate it. After our long dialogue, I returned home. No longer possible to postpone the thought of the surgery, Catsu and my future.
19:34. If I agree to delete my memories, can I truly love Catsu? Give me hope for this, and I will give up the past for it.
19:52. It was as if I had found God in His face, and I was being forced to become an atheist. Because of this, I start to distance myself from people who don't understand my faith. Who is He? What's so special about It? Norma, I don't understand what you need.
20:34. It hurts, those feelings again. I miss Him, I want to see Him. Back to me. I beg. You're all I need to be happy.
