Rex was exhausted, but his mind didn't slow down at all. That's how it was for him most of the time. He sat down, with his back to the wall. The young man decided in the night to write in his journal by candlelight.

[center]"[i]Dear Journal,
I've finally reached the Capital. The place is worse than I expected, and that's saying a lot. But at the very least, someone named Aria has been kind enough to let me stay in her home, so long as I work. Sounds doable, since she said she could get me into the military more quickly. At the very least I'm not the only person who was out in the streets.[/i]"[/center]

The young man glanced over at Tatsumi for a moment.

[center]"[i]This guy Tatsumi seems good enough. From a small town like me, but he seems a bit naive. Then there's this girl named Skye. She seems to be a few bricks shy of a full load, and crazy to boot. Too damn chipper if you ask me. But she seems to be here for the same reason as me and Tatsumi. I gotta respect that much.[/i]"[/center]
