PERSONAL DIARY

[andascholar]

Day 1

[andascholar]

I'm in a daze from all of this. Even if I work hard to put it all together, I feel so lost. The consolation prize they've given me is a mockery and the grand prize they're offering is painfully targeted, and yet I can't help but want to strive for it. I know it's a bad idea. I should train and use my own power to achieve my goals. But it's all been for nothing so far, and this could be the key. My kingdom is in danger, and I miss her. I will aim to win.

I was able to barely scrape a victory today, in the next competition I'll have to try harder. Even if some things are embarrassing or alarming, I will fight through it. If I could gain more votes, I'll be able to protect everyone. There are many here that are kind, and generous, even so I can't help but fear the worst. It will be difficult to get everyone organised and co-operating. I don't know anyone's true nature yet, and so I must be cautious.

Link is here. He has lost his memories somehow. I don't know how, and he is keeping even more quiet from me than usual, it fills me with anxiety. It's clear he has no memories of how close we've grown, and even worse, he has no interest in regaining them. Whatever few memories he still has must have been terribly upsetting for him to reject his past like this. I can't help but feel guilty. I know I treated him terribly when we first met. Even so, he wanted to stay with me as my knight. I was afraid he would reject me like he rejected the rest, but he was so happy when I said I wanted him by my side. His surprise twisted my stomach. I hope I can show him I've changed.

Tomorrow someone will be evicted. I'm doing everything I can to manage the votes and ensure that nobody is left to die. I must make time to pray tonight. I have even less reason to believe they would hear me now, but I must keep faith.

Day 2

It was all for nothing. I could not protect everyone. That damned Frank Reynolds deviated from the plan and voted for Charlie. He cannot be trusted with anyone else's safety. I had only briefly met him to discuss his vote. Everyone else reacted with displeasure when I mentioned his name, I should have listened to them. Ayato, I'm sorry.

Tomorrow there will be another game. I must do better. I cannot allow anyone else to be harmed.
