Dear Manual,

All loyalty's aside... I'm getting better. A bit. There giving me scraps of food. Which isn't to bad if you think about it. I was starved and ate nothing but yucky slime. I guess that means that this is better then that. My view of food will never be the same. I'm lucky I guess. Lucky I'm alive? Maybe. That means I still have problems. I'm trying to convince the Octarians of my loyalty... It's not easy, despite me being an inkling, it's going okay for it being not easy. I'm a tough inkling on the outside. I just have so many problems, breaking me on the inside. Not everyone understands that. I guess that i'll have to be okay with it for now.

Signed,
