At home, sometimes I thought that I'd really like to get a break from my family. The town I'm from isn't so great and well a lot of bad things were happening. I got mad at my dad a lot because it felt like I couldn't depend on him or any adult to care or help with the things that were happening. We ended up not needing the adults but it sucked.

I guess, it wasn't perfect at home but now that I'm here and my family isn't I really miss them. I wouldn't think I could miss them this bad. I miss going to the Synagogue and my dad making me study Hebrew. I always thought it was really annoying and boring.

Do you miss anything that you don't have here that you didn't think you could ever miss?

Is there anything that helps?

Yes.

[ "I miss a world that makes sense" isn't really helpful, or an answer thorough enough to satisfy either her or her instructors. ]

Before this, I was at Cobulo Academy of Military Science. We had schedules, regulations, drills. I knew what I was supposed to do and how.

I haven't found anything here that feels the same.

[ Stan things that the Academy sounds like a nice place to be. It sounds orderly. He likes that. ]

I don't imagine there is anything very much like that...

It sounds like it would be nice, though. I can see why you would miss it.

It was home.

[ There, a compromise between sentimentality and facts. ]

My name is Chyler. What's yours?

[stantheman]

Chyler... that is a nice name.

My name is Stan.
