[There are too many nightmares. Too many nights spent thrashing herself awake. Sometimes she fully wakes Cato, sometimes she just has to assure him she's okay before he fall back asleep. She's tried to run, she's tried to just go as far as she can, she's tried to roll over and go back to sleep. She can't ignore it, she can't escape it, she can't get over it.
So, late at night or early in the morning, she opens her journal.
She's tired but wide awake. It's a kind of exhaustion, really. She doesn't know how many people will see this, but she wants to ask.]
The Malnosso are always fighting their war, right? There's always battles and killing.

As long as I'm fighting, I don't have nightmares.
[After about two hours, she'll strike out the entire last sentence. It's too private, too personal. It was stupid to ever write it, but at least it will be gone. Some of them have seen it, but she can deny it later. Sort of.]

This ocean is a lot warmer than Berk's, though. There's no ice.

I lived in the mountains in Panem, so it's warmer here than I'm used to, sometimes.
