Close Friend Akira took the entrance exam with me. He's super cool. In fact, he's still kinda intimidating...I feel like if he went to my high school, I'd always be thinking about talking to him, but never actually doing it. Is that weird? We lived at the Magenta house between then and now, so I feel plenty safe and comfortable around him at this point. Wait, is that weird too!? Damn it, Max! Stop being awkward! We've both been through a lot, and I just want to support him as best I can.
There's something I want to tell him.
Close Friend WORKING THEORY: Tess is an alternate reality version of Chloe Price where her color of choice is red instead of blue. Isn't there some weird, red-blue theory about alternate dimensions or something? I'll ask around. Sorry, I got distracted, anyway! Tess took the entrance exam with me, and if I'm being honest, she reminds me so much of Arcadia Bay. I don't know if it's the Chloe thing or just her style but when I'm with her, it makes me feel like things are a little normal. "Normal" is a real hot commodity here. Thanks for bringing a little bit of home back to me, Tess.
DEAD. Yoosung lived with us at Magenta House. He made sure we were able to play games together, which was pretty much the biggest (only??) bright spot of the whole ordeal. It was fun to kick back with him and be kids again. Is it crazy to wish we could've just...stayed there? Probably.
Yoosung died at the end of the second week back. I wish I could've been closer to him. Thinking about him makes me feel like my heart is on fire. I hate this place.
Friend Maya took the entrance exam with me. She...reminds me a little bit of me, and maybe that's why I have a little bit of trouble talking to her? She's very pretty and quirky (I am one of those things, maybe both on a good hair day?) I want to get to know her more as soon as I can. You'd think with all the time we've had together I'd already, but...I don't know. Friendships are complicated. Just ask Chloe. Maya seems like she has special powers the way that I do. We should compare notes.
Friend For some reason, I look at Terra as an unofficial leader. He's always so composed, not to mention--oh wait, nevermind, I think he's about to throw a desk again. By the way, the world he comes from is FUH-REAKING INSANE! I need to sit down and ask about him because every time he mentions something, I'm on the other end of the room like "say whaaaat!" Terra was with us in the entrance exam, so I trust him and feel safe with him around. He reminds me of a prince.
Friend Lt. Anderson (aka Officer Hank, aka Dad of the Future) is a total sweetheart, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! He's a little rough around the edges, but he means well. I can tell that he's working very hard to get us all out of this situation. He's the real deal, people! No Rent-A-Cops in 2038! I get the feeling that he wants to protect me, he and Connor both, actually. Sometimes I feel kind of like their kid. Hah! Can you imagine?
Hank has given me his trust, so I hope I can repay him by making a difference.
Friend Connor is an android, and that's okay. Yes, it's SUPER WEIRD and SUPER COOL to be friends with a robot from the future, but I just kinda gotta roll with the punches here. He's a very diligent, smart, useful person to have around, and just having him on our side gives me a lot of hope for the future. Future. Get it? Okay, yeah, maybe not the time for jokes. Even if they're really good. Connor is...gentle. He reminds me a bit of a kid sometimes. But also a parent? It's weird. It must be hard being an android and trying to fit in with humans. Either way, I like him, and I trust him completely.
Connor reassured me about something, and I've been sleeping just a little better ever since. Kinda.
