This place is like a dream to me

Its all ive ever wanted to experience

The neverending halls the twisting corners

Its just all so

Beautiful

I dont want to leave this place

I dont want to go back to my regular life

I want to stay here

But even still the jouse has its drawbacks

I tried keeping track of how long weve been here since clocks dont
really work down here

I lost track of time at least a few days ago

I havent bothered to keep up with it since


Barry asks me if we can head back outside for a second

The longer he stays down here the more sick he feels or so he claims

I want to keep going but i know that his health is more important

I know its horrible to think but

If i had a choice i would probably leave barry up on the first floor
of regular while i keep heading deeper

Wouldnt it be better to leave him behind so he wont feel awful

I mean we both wanted to explore this place

He wanted to find the owner and i wanted answers about the nature
of the jouse but

If hes gonna keep holding me back i think it would be better if he
sat this one out for his own sake


The creature we allied with is rather interesting as well

I think he said his name was something like friend or whatever

I dont know itll come back to me soon enough

He sticks by our side and makes witty comments about things

Seems like a nice guy but

The way he stays down on that floor while we head outside for a bit
always made me a little bit suspicious

I brought it up to barry once and he shrugged it off as him not
feeling the way he does much like i do

I guess it makes sense but

When it stays down there i can sometimes hear pacing and other times
i hear faint mumbling

I dont entirely know what its deal is and i want to figure that out
eventually

Now doesnt seem like a good time to ask though

He always gets quiet when we ask him even the slightest personal
question

Ive also noticed that the jouse is affecting him as well

He gets more anxious and reserved almost like he thinks something
is gonna leap out and get him

I try to give him space when he starts feeling like that

Its strange how this place can affect the two of them in completely
different ways but i dont really face anything at all

Well i guess the one thing ive noticed it affect me is with my
own sense of self

I feel like the longer i roam the halls the less i feel the need to
ask why things are the way they are

That could be just from me piecing together things about the jouse
but

I saw myself in the mirror when we were walking through that wet
variant

I almost couldnt recognize myself

The only thing i saw was the color green in the vague shape of
me

The more i looked the more details started coming back to it
though

I dont know what thats about

Is the jouse affecting me more than i thought it was
