Adaptation is hard for some people, and so they are for most animals. Makes sense, because a fish cannot walk on land, and a wolf cannot swim in the water.

The coyote is the one animal that is the most adaptable of all animals, not having any trouble when they come into a totally different environment than their previous one.

Even though you'd think it would not be that hard for an animal, or any living thing, to adapt to its environment, there are thousands of animals who could die when they become in a different environment.

But, animals like deers and armadillos cannot adapt to another environment, it is simply impossible for them to do so.

That fact is quite sad because deers are mostly killed by running in front of a car. The reason they do so is that they are behind on evolution.

Deers are not adapted to cars, they are afraid of them. Their fear is what makes them jump in front of the car, but also because that is their usual route to go somewhere else.

Unlike deers, I seem to have adapted quite good to my new environment, which is a surprise.

I didn't expect myself to get along with these men so well, let alone this fast.

It has now been a month since they kidnapped me, and I feel like there is no other choice than to accept the fact I'm never going to be let go.

I'm starting to accept the fact that this is probably where I'm going to be for a huge part of my life.

On one hand, it hurts and sucks that in literally trapped as if I'm Rapunzel, never escaping from the tower until her saviour came.

But I don't have a saviour, and I will never meet one being trapped in here, completely captivated.

But on the other hand, I feel like I could take advantage of my current situation.

Maybe I could trick them into like me as is were best friends, and maybe one day they'll let me do my own thing due to which I could plan my escape.

These men are rich. Not just rich, but actually rich. I think I could get literally get anything I want if I'd ask for it nicely.

But I won't be like that, because I was raised to be nice and somewhat thankful for what I have and get. And I feel like I could be at least a bit thankful towards these men for saving me and letting me stay here, even if it's against my will.

They're all being very nice and gentle to me, by surprise. I guess they aren't as bad as they seem.

I have had no social intercourse with neither Aeron, Seth or Valerius whatsoever, I guess they really aren't talkative at all.

The other three, Xerxes, Lucifer, and Enzo are the complete opposite though.

Even though Seth has the worst days sometimes where he doesn't say anything at all, I can tell he thinks I'm pretty alright.

I've been hanging out with the three of them a lot lately, as we all have a thing in common.

Xerxes and I both have a thing for climate change, how we can slow it down and whatsoever.

We have talked about it several times for hours, unable to stop since the topic is so daring and interesting.

Lucifer and I have had to spend a lot of time in the library together over the past week.

Whether we're silent reading a book, or discussing which author or which book is the best, I have a lot of fun with him as well.

Enzo and I don't have that much in common.  Except for the fact that I can only cook three things and he can cook a whole three-course meal at a five-star restaurant.
