Tonight, as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, memories from just a week ago flooded back to me. I thought about how everything felt so heavy back then—the chaos at home, the constant arguments that made my mornings feel like battlefields. I remembered how, after that betrayal with Maya, I felt like I had no one I could really trust. The hurt had been so raw, like a wound I couldn’t ignore.

But tonight felt different. Lying here, I couldn’t shake the feeling that things were slowly shifting. Finding Mystara had been like discovering a small light in the darkness, someone who didn’t need me to explain every little detail. She just understood. We shared this silent bond, an unspoken understanding that made me feel less alone, less trapped in my own thoughts.

A week ago, I didn’t think I’d feel this way again. But today, with the memory of our Wonderland adventures still fresh in my mind, I realized that sometimes, even when things feel hopeless, a little spark can change everything. Mystara isn’t just a friend. She’s becoming someone I trust—someone who’s shown me that maybe, just maybe, it’s possible to find strength and comfort, even in the toughest times.

For the first time in a long while, I felt hopeful.

After every darkest night there is a hopeful morning again
