Another New Year’s come and gone. It just feels so same-y these days. There’s only five of us left, now. Me, Ron, and three civilians. It’s all we can do to keep going… but hey, at least we don’t have to worry about food with only five of us.

My prosthetics have been acting up lately. I’ve been getting twinges and bouts of throbbing, like they’re calling out for something. I still don’t know why my own God Arc never did this, but god… this can’t be a good sign.

A Hannibal attacked the camp the other day. We’ve been moving around a lot, but the Aragami always seem to find us. We managed to fight it off… but my prosthetics acting up cost one of our civilians his life. I know it’s just another part of life in this age, but… I still can’t help but feeling like there was something I could have done about it. Maybe if my willpower had been stronger, I could have bent the prosthetics’ Oracle cells to my will, and he wouldn’t have…

We’re down to five now. Although I suppose I already said that, didn’t I?

I’m going to do some tune-ups on my prosthetics now.

I just hope they hold out until, well…

…until the end, I guess? That’s all I need.
