It's ok, Yi.

I learned a long time ago that no one would be able to understand my predicament, and I'm ok with that.

Because I wouldn't want someone to be able understand my predicament.

People often say, "You don't know what it's like." "You don't understand what I'm going through." but the truth is, plenty of other people understand.

But a select few will truly have no one who understands.

I understand a lot because I have lived a long time, but no one will understand what it's like to be in my shoes, as I am truly unique.

You can't live without pain, heartbreak, and suffering.

Some only experience that once, others experience it many times.

But life also has happier moments.

The pain won't last forever, even if it seems like it does at times.

You don't have to let go of Eclipse if you don't want to, but if you do, I will make sure to keep an eye on her.

Not to say that she won't come back to you at times.

"Show a phoenix kindness, and they'll show it back."

I say again, not all choices are easily seen, or accepted.

Eclipse has grown enough that she could survive in the "wild" on her own, you know.

Technically, a choice was there.

Just not all of them are easily seen... or accepted.

Mmmmm.

That would help to explain Cobalt's sudden aggression.

She is fragile.

Every young creature is fragile.

Technically, humans never stop being fragile.

It doesn't take a lot to damage the brain.

Humans are fragile, yet resilient.

{Crystal is fast asleep, her pacifier close to falling out of her mouth.}

Such a kind soul, Yi.

Always trying to help others before yourself.

Much like myself.

It's a good trait to have, as long as you remember to take care of yourself from time to time.

{Min watches you leave before looking to Crystal, sighing, and rethinking their life decisions.}

〔It's been a few weeks since you've seen Min. I wonder what they're up to. Maybe you should go check on them.〕

*Yi packed up some things before making her way to Min. Like usual she knocks on the cave wall before she goes in*

{Crystal ends up grabbing the pacifier that's attached to her shirt, starting to nom on it.}

That will suffice for now.

We can worry about clothes later.

{Crystal yawns, doing a lil' stretch.}

Some babies can actually be born with teeth already showing, and some babies don't even start teething until a year of age.

{Crystal continues to nom on your finger, babbling and cooing more in response to your chirping and cooing.}

She seems to be around 3 months old.

And while babies can start teething then, they don't usually start teething until 4-7 months.
