Entry 4

This morning, N. Tropy did something that I would have never thought the Master of Time was capable of.

He made a confession.

Let it be known that he isn't the most sane person in the castle. I mean, he betrayed his friends and family years ago and attempted to reset the timeline. He even got me and N. Brio in on his schemes. He did return to his senses in the end, but only when he feared that he would lose Natalie's trust permanently.

Speaking of whom, she has to do with the confession he made. From what he said to me, I am currently the only person who knows.

In my own words, he said, "I feel awful for the way I manipulated you and the others all those years ago."

I blinked in disbelief at the Master of Time. He actually felt...sorry for his actions? That was peculiar, especially from one who calls himself a villain. But I could tell that he was sincere. He wasn't lying to me as he had done in the past.

"I do care about Natalie," he continued. "I really do. I don't want her to be put in danger again. Do you feel the same way about Techcenah?"

I do, and I said that to N. Tropy. Tech is honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me. She always manages to put a smile on my face, even when I am not in my right mind. I could tell that N. Tropy felt that way about his daughter. He may be a bit, well, crazy...but he genuinely cares about Natalie.

If I am to be completely honest with myself, I don't blame him for some of his previous actions. After everything he has been through, I can see why he has changed. His ex-wife left him shortly after Natalie was born. Poor N. Tropy. He cared so much about his wife and hated to lose her, but I suppose it was for the best. If she really had loved him as much as she said she did, she would have stayed with him to help take care of the child.

Just recently, N. Tropy got with a woman named Catherine. We call her Cathy for short. She seemed too polite at first, until she told us that she went to the Evil Public School. I honestly feel a little bad for her. Nina was forced to go there once, and she absolutely despised the place. From what I heard, that school is a dump.

I keep getting off track. That happens quite a bit, more so than I'd like to admit. After N. Tropy confessed everything to me, I had to make a promise. I promised that I would not tell anyone else unless he said otherwise. He smiled at that, something that he does rarely, and left the room to leave me to my experiments.

God, I wish I didn't have to work so much. I used to be quite the workaholic, but not so much these days. I've been rather exhausted lately and haven't exactly been sleeping as much as I should.

What the hell is wrong with me?
