Update the Diary

12:38. They passed the obstacle course! The attack remains.

12:46. I was very scared when Becky jumped on the “thief” and knocked him to the ground. I thought that she started uncontrollable aggression, but she let go of the “fraudster” and just wouldn't let him get up, scaring him by barking. During this time, Mary managed to make a call.

It's only been 36 days, and they understand each other as if they've been together all their lives. The award ceremony starts at 15: 00, so we go to the cafe for a snack.

15:16. They received a diploma of the third degree! I'm so happy. Today we should definitely hold a holiday in honor of this. With such achievements, she will definitely be able to become a dog handler in the future. We need to tell Him about it.

16:17. Mary wanted to visit her father to tell him about the tournament and introduce him to Becky, so we went to rebirth grove.

17:28. We stopped next to a maple tree. He's grown a lot since the last time I saw him. At first, I even doubted whether we came to the same tree, but the sign with the inscription: “John Lanford 2041-2067”, – has dispelled all doubts.

Nora said Hello to him and left; her sister would never accept his death. I miss John, too.

He often drove me around in his car and sometimes picked me up from school. Once the three of us (me, John and Nora) went to the sea, I was 8 years old at the time. I think that summer was the best of my life.

Mary told him a lot about Becky and how nice she was, and then she said, “Dad, It would be so nice to walk around that lake with the swans together,” and she started crying, the dog ran around trying to calm her down.

18:32. We drove home in silence, and I remembered a quote from the collection.

“Death is not the opposite of life, but part of it” Norwegian forest.

What did the main character of this work face that he had to learn such a cruel truth?

19: 03. After returning home, no one spoke about John, as if they had forgotten about him again or did not know him at all.

19:42. I decided to take a walk with Becky and the host, told her about Yoru and showed her photos of the waterfall, mountains, and more.

I wanted to cheer up the birthday girl, because she is the main character of the day, but no one listened to me.

22:13. I decided to talk to Nora tomorrow and find out what happened a year ago.

22:21. * Diary, I didn't tell you about John Lanford, I need to fix this. *

I met him when I was 6 years old. Nora sat with me that day and called John to relieve the boredom, and the three of us walked all day. At that time, he was studying at the sixth stage with his sister. They were in the same class.

Brown hair, gray eyes, and a perpetual smile on his face are all I remember about his appearance.

John always made me laugh with his jokes. He didn't seem to know what sadness was or what it was eaten with. My parents trusted him, so I often stayed with him when they went on business trips. In those days, we played Board games and held various competitions, such as who would eat lunch faster, put away toys, do homework, draw a picture of Nora, or go to sleep. He treated me like his little sister.

He loved rainbows, stars, clouds, cotton candy, chaos theory, and classical music.

John was a dreamer and believed that anything was possible if you put enough effort into it.

I didn't like: noise, coffee, frames and tables.

His favorite saying was: “Rules are necessary in order to break them!”

My brother collected DVDs of movies, and we often watched them at his house, because there was no player at home.

After graduation, my sister and John took a compatibility test, which was 96%. They asked their parents for permission to marry, and they all agreed.

So John became my real brother.

Then they had baby Mary. We all loved her. John qualified as a philosopher and started working, after which they bought an apartment.

Nora was very happy, and the cutie gradually grew up, receiving all the attention from loving parents.

So a year passed, then a second, then a third.

In the summer, they went with their family to the ocean; Nora called every day and sent us a sea of photos.

Then the 4th year of their life together flew by, and the 5th came, after which John suddenly moved.

The last time I saw him was on November 4, 2067, when he carried his daughter in his arms all day and only let her go when the baby fell asleep.

And 3 days after that, it became known that he killed himself.

* End of Dating. *

Now, remembering the pleasant moments spent with my brother, I felt sad, I need to calm down and go to bed.

Bye, Diary.

Day 27.

Hello, Diary.

Today is December 10, 2068, Saturday.

On the street -9, snow.

05:42. Apparently my sister didn't go to bed yesterday, I need to ask her about her ex-husband and talk about medallions for my parents.

10:27. Every 5 years after marriage, married couples must re-pass the compatibility test, because the couple may change values, characters, and attitudes to life, and much more.

So, on February 14, 2066, Nora and John re-passed the compatibility test, the result of which was 89%, which is unacceptable for married couples. The system terminated their marriage on the same day, without giving a second attempt. The law forbids remarriage to the same person, but paternity is preserved, so John could spend a lot of time with Mary. Therefore, a year passed, and our baby's sixth birthday came.

John gave his daughter a pendant with a photo of them together.

After telling this, the sister went somewhere and returned with a note in which was written the following:

"November 5, 2066.

I, John Lanford, leave all my savings to my ex-wife Nora Edinson and daughter Mary Edinson-Landford.

My dears, this year has been the most unbearable and difficult for me. I can't live without you and I want to be with you, but the system has destroyed all my dreams, all my life.

Nora, don't deny yourself anything and help our daughter fulfill all her dreams.
