3rd POV

March 22, 2075

The war has ended. We saved the universe, just like we were meant to do. The lions have officially chosen new paladins so we were sent back to earth.

Things have changed.

I mean, who would've thought I'd actually end up with Keith Kogane. My sworn rival, the person I was always competing with. It's strange the longer I think about it. But we have something others don't, a connection I would've give up for the world.

Adam and Cirtus plan to get married, though it probably won't happen for the next few years. You know Shiro, treated it as if this were a battle plan. He needs time to work out the details.

And lastly... the war rendered me mute. I can't talk anymore. Doctors told me it was permanent, basically said 'suck it up because there's nothing be can do'. It's terrible if I'm being honest, sometimes I open my mouth to speak, only to find nothing coming out of my mouth.

I'm seeing a therapist now, she was the one who told me to get this diary or journal or whatever. Hopefully it works.

I don't see the point in writing down what I wish I could say, but I might as well. This will probably be forgotten within a year so I might as well write my heart out.

Keith paid for classes, sign language classes. He said it was the only way I could communicate since he didn't want me writing in a book so we could communicate. Even though I told him no, he's going to do it with me so I don't feel left out of everything. (And so he could understand what I'm saying, of course.)

Maybe it'll be ok.

I'm not happy.

I don't know how to live anymore. People keep telling me to look on the bright side.

Is there a bright side I'm missing?

I think Keith might be losing interest in me... he's always out recently. I bet he doesn't like me anymore, now that I can't speak.

Keith admitted that he liked talkative me way more than this me. Maybe he really doesn't want to be with me then.

I was talking to my therapist today. I asked her the probability of Keith breaking up with me, because I can't talk.

She said there wasn't a probability at all. She said Keith loved me, and it would always stay that way. It doesn't feel that way..

Let's just.. hope she's right.
