I remember so very little of having... fallen, of how it came to happen. Rightfully, I should be seeking out the person or persons responsible. I should be, I know, yet I am not.
...More often than not, I wonder if it felt that way for my father, for Rasler. There aren't words to describe nothingness, though that is all I recall. Nothing, then waking in the hospital.
Acting as if nothing happened is what I have found myself doing. I try to ease Basch's guilt, for it is unwarranted. I know he wishes only to protect me and wishes for what could have been; believes that, had he been there with me, I would have been safe from harm. He was not to blame, despite the accusations of his brother, whose words I shall not heed.
And of course, I am, once again, unable to use my magicks until this new chip can be removed from my body, wherever its location. Answers will come. If they do not, I shall seek them out, with all the determination I can find.
