Entry 34: I feel like im getting closer but I've nearly used up all the DETERMINATION I've gathered. I have requested for more time but the King is insistent I finish this soon or he is shutting the project down. The fool has no clue what he is asking of me but all i can do is grit my teeth and obey. This is the most interesting project I've had in years and i feel it may lead me to a solution for dealing with the barrier as well.

Monster SOULS are such pure things but i never thought i would be tasked to preserve one. It was a miracle it stayed intact for so long, the Kings quick actions likely the only reason it's still so stable. I can see fragments missing but that is to be expected, hopefully with a few tests i will be able to regrow all the missing sections.

Entry 56: All the supply of DETERMINATION is gone but i was finally able to keep the SOUL intact. A true marvel and truly a scientific first but the SOUL is now dyed a light pink. I have no clue what impact this will have if I manage to restore the PrInCeS body but every little step helps.

I requested magic from the King and Queen but was denied, cursing how hard they were making my work. How are they expecting me to make a body without samples? I will persevere but i might have to use donations, curious to see if adding other traits from humans would be a useful substitute.

Entry 70: It's all gone. I've used every scrap left from the humans that died down here and even the secret supply I kept hidden from the royals. I usually wouldn't waste something so precious but i feel so close to accomplishing my goal. The SOUL is changing colour again and i feel I only need one more push to complete it. I feel the CORE will be the final push i need to solve it.

I always knew the CORE would solve all of monster kinds problems and if this works it might also solve the number of monsters Falling Down. Our population was never large but we will need more if we ever hope to survive above ground.

Entry 98: I made a terrible mistake. I hid all my work, every single scrap as soon as i could. The SOUL is a dirty grey and i can see cracks growing from it by the hour. No one remembers what my project was or even their existence anymore. I can feel my own memories starting to fade but small things remain. I grew too arrogant, too careless and im paying for my mistakes. It's funny how close I've become to the SOUL of the ̸̠̻͘p̵̪̳̗̌̆̕r̸̪̂̅́͒î̸̳͈̥͊̊ņ̶̟͍́c̶̡̭͕͒̿e̴̎ͅẢ̷̹s̴̙̈́t̴̼̽̽e̸͙̻̤͒̒r̵̦̘̦̍ͅ. ̴̘̈̇̓and sometimes feel like they are my own child with how long I've spent with them.

It's a shame i know them better in death then in life. I will give them a final gift before i fully forget them as for some reason I cant bare to let them go. I hope i don't regret this but there is one thing i can do to try and save them. May the angel forgIve my tainted SOUL.

Entry 103: I think I've lost my mind. Many past entries are lost or make no sense but my SOUL feels like i recognise it sins crawling on my back but even my assistant has no clue what im talking about. I must have been tired when i wrote this but i have no time for that. I have new projects im going to start. Im unsure why i feel such a rush to complete them but im never one to ignore my senses.

The wounds on my hands have finally healed and the new SOULS are growing nicely. I've had an odd feeling of familiarity for the two small SOULS and i- wonder if these ones will survive.

Entry 120: The King is a spineless fool and he will doom us all. The royal children are all gone and he refuses to do a single thing. It seems things are left up to me and I've finally had a breakthrough with the CORE. Now all i need to do is-
