Tired. Missing home terribly. I don't understand the sense of fatigue and exhaustion I feel, considering I do nothing all day, whilst the other prisoners all still head out to mine the fishing platforms of Junyo. I have missed Christams in Bretonia; it appears not to be celebrated here. Or if it is, they certainly don't share it with the prisoners. One small glimmer of hope; I was visited today by the Base Commander, Captain Hiro****o. He seemed friendly, and told me that there was a ceasefire in place between Bretonia and Kusari for the duration of the holdidays. Whilst this means I have no immediate chance of rescue, I am at least reassured that my friends are not dying on the Tau front without me. Even more, he suggested that he thought we may soon begin peace negociations, and subtly hinted something about me being released as an early gesture of goodwill or something. This is indeed a promising development.
