Sender: Kinomoto Sakura
To: All
Subject: Birthdays?

I hope this works. The journals we would have back home weren't like this. Showing everyone. Not unless we wrote online and it was public. I did only recently get here though. I'm Kinomoto Sakura! Sakura being my first given name, Kinomoto being my family one. I'm from Tomoeda in Japan. I'm thirteen fourteen now? I think. I'm not sure if this really counts as my birthday or not. I've never had one apart from my family and friends before. If this does count. That's a little strange to think about.

Back home, I'd have weird dreams but not quite like this exactly. And there was magic but not quite the same as this what I've seen so far at least. I'm still figuring all this out. This dream magic? Or whatever it's called. I do at least have one familiar face though! Kero-chan is with me. I mean. My stuffed toy came with me. Otherwise, I guess. I'm not sure if I should ask on how it works exactly? Dreaming? I mean. If others might be able to see my dreams here or?

[Because. Well. There's some things she is still trying to keep secret. And given her dreams are often prophetic and rather odd or dangerous sometimes. That might be important to know.]

A blizzard? I suppose. That might be somehow possible, with this place with so much magic.

How though? How would I help someone realize?

Exactly. I have been here for nearly half a year, now, but I always find myself surprised by the next thing. But we are all in this together, so it doesn't feel so overwhelming!

Nightmares can be scary, but they aren't real. Helping to remind the person having a nightmare or a powerful dream realize what is or isn't real is really helpful. I suppose that usually means putting yourself out there for the person whose dream it is, since you would be the only other 'real' entity within it.. . Ah, I hope this is making sense!

And I'm sorry to talk about such things on your birthday, Sakura. You should be out having fun and doing lighthearted things, not thinking about nightmares...

I guess. What's the saying? Expect the unexpected? But I do want to try help if I can. If others have a nightmare.

It's okay though! This is important to know.
