Happy birthday to me...

Twenty six.

A big change from last year. I'm now the EM alliance leader. I'm not in Re-Awakened.

But somethings stay the same. I'm still with Carinelle. I'm still Atamahara. I'm still Matari.

Last year I had a small party, with enough people to have conversations, but not so many that anyone got overwhelmed.

This year was just Carinelle and me. I hired someone to bring in good food. A waiter to serve. Bubbles.

It was nice. We talked. About what it would take to feel grown up, what our plans are. About being rational, and respecting emotions. She still hasn't visited her father's clan. I still don't run enough fleets.

Maybe we'll be grown up next year.
