Dear Diary,

We’re on Floor 50, so the cycle is at most two days from being over. It kinda feels like every player in the dungeon is here. People are all over the place.

A part of me wanted to offer to help in the diner here, but I know I shouldn't. I mean, it would be nice, but it would also be slightly weird. Players shouldn't take time out of their dungeon crawling to help cook at a restaurant.

I didn't even ask to use the kitchen. I would have been in the way.

Which means Siri and Floofles will have to eat regular hamburger patties. That's ok. I was able to boil some fish in my room and give them that, so their diets aren't too one-note.

I wonder what Fire and Steel are feeding their wolves…

I'll ask!

…Ok, I shouldn't have asked. Steel said he’s been giving Balto and Linda beef jerky, and Fire said she’s been giving Bear and Wolfie McWolfpants fresh meat.

Beef jerky isn't good for dogs to eat on a regular basis, so now I'm worried about their health.

And I really don't want to know where the fresh meat comes from. It can't be monsters, cuz when monsters die their bodies poof away. Unless she’s keeping the monsters alive while the wolves eat, which is something I don't want to think about.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Maybe I should ask Steel to ask. And tell him to give the wolves non-salted meat.

Oh! Avi says the song he’s been writing for me is done! He’ll play it for me at the start of next cycle. I can't wait.

I kinda wish there was something I could make for him, but I'm not artistic. Like, at all. I make food, but I make him special food like twice a week. To the point it’s not really all that special any more.

Maybe I could secretly befriend something, and give him a new pet. But that usually takes time, and it’s not something I can really do sneakily.

Oh well. I'll figure something out.

In other news, Lily tried to talk to Kimi tonight. We’re all here, and they bumped into each other in the shop.

Kimi just has no patience for anything Lily says any more. I couldn't hear what they said, but Lily was super shocked and then horrified and then I think she wanted to cry. I'd feel bad, but given the rumors she tried to start were about me, I kinda don't care.

I mean, I'm not glad Kimi almost made Lily cry. But I won't say she shouldn't have done it.

I asked Kimi what they talked about, and Kimi just said I shouldn't worry about it.

A part of me is like “ok, not worrying!”, but another part kinda thinks it might be important. Maybe I'll ask later, on a cycle when Kimi isn't worried about Y.

Cuz yeah, Kimi is still worried about Y. I think she was doing a little better, but now that we’re close to the end she’s worried again.

But we’ll all be together again soon, and no one will have to worry about anyone else.

Yay for not needing to worry!

Goodnight, Dungeon!
