She is truly absent from the City. Though I know she is of a free spirit, it seems unlikely that she would run off on some grand adventure without first leaving a note... And if, the Occuria forbid, she had somehow passed on while here, she ought to have been revived long since her disappearance.
Not only must I come to terms with her absence, I must take to heart that it is truly the best outcome for her. Penelo most certainly does not deserve to stay in such a prison. Of course, neither do the others, but we must cherish the small victories. I am sure Vaan will be content to have her back at his side.
Still, after learning about the Christmas holiday, I really had hoped-
No. I cannot dwell on what could have been. My focus ought to stay on what will be, and I know for certain that the rest of us will be free of this place eventually. I must have faith that Archadia will say strong.

I can honestly say I did not enjoy that hot weather. Did we not already experience such a scorching heat recently? It felt much like Dalmasca.
Robin, I did in fact receive your gifts, and am most grateful. I have had trouble putting the book down. Still, I am confused as to the holiday you mentioned. It is like the Christmas everyone else speaks of, only...earlier?
Balthier, my welcome is belated, but sincere nonetheless. Though I am pleased to see you, I hope your stay here is short, for this is no utopia. Am I to assume you will be taking up residence in Penelo's old quarters?
