Today's Horoscope (Virgo): Someone close to you is depressed. Keep a close eye on this person.
After School
Trixie is buzzing with excitement at Music Club. She's running around asking everybody if they'll be there for her concert Saturday...
Evening
Sonata isn't with us at dinner. She had a late appointment with her doctor...
After I finish my homework, I take a bathroom break. Coming out of the bathroom, I hear music from Sonata's room. Her door is open. I peek in and find Sonata sitting on her bed, with her computer in her lap. She's staring at the screen and crying.
I knock on the door. "Are you okay?"
Sonata looks up, wipes her eyes, and shakes her head. She beckons me to enter.
I miss my sisters.
"Of course you do," I say.
I miss my voice. I miss singing...
I sit down next to her. She looks down at the video again.
I'm scared.
She leans against me and cries. I don't think I can say anything that'll help, so I just let her cry.
After a few minutes, she sits up, sniffling, and wipes her nose and eyes. She looks up at me.
I don't feel like I have a purpose in life anymore.
"Sonata..."
It's like I'm a ghost, except I'm not dead.
She looks down at her computer again, then closes it.
Sonata Dusk is gone...I don't know what I am.
Her shoulders shake as she buries her face in her hands. I gently take her computer and tablet and set them aside, then hold her until she cries herself to sleep.
The Broken Bird Social Link of the Death Arcana has reached rank 3!
Your power to create Personas of the Death Arcana has grown!
As soon as she's asleep, I pick up her tablet, cross out what she just wrote, and write two words:
Stay strong.
I head back to my room to read until time for bed.
