[at first the journal picks up just breathing, and silence. And then, a loud, desperate scream, and several soft thuds of disorientation. It's quiet again for a while, then she decides to write something, not trusting her voice to stay steady]

I believe I feel well enough to leave the clinic.

[[ooc: And she actually means it. She doesn't yet have the stubborn streak so common among playable characters the people she knows. And please do notice the scream~]]

Then, how about we come to some sort of compromise?

[She leans back in her chair.]

Personally, I'd like you to stay in the clinic for at least three more days.

[it's very hard, even decades later, to be dishonest in the face of her favorite teacher]

I'm not sleeping well.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Oh? Any idea what's causing this insomnia?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I have no trouble falling asleep.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Then, what is the problem?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Staying that way. ...It seems so childish to suffer from nightmares, of all things.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Hardly. Nightmares aren't limited to age. A much more decisive factor is the experiences you have. One might say it's your subconsciousness' way of coping with stress.

[silversnowfall]

Being unable to sleep doesn't exactly speed recovery.

[Action]

And you believe the comfort of your own home will reduce the nightmares?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

It's not my home.

...But I think distancing myself from the activity here would help.

[Action]

Then, I suppose there's nothing I can say to change your mind.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I respect your decision as to what I should do, Professor. It would be worse for me to remain here longer because of my mistakes.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Your mistakes?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

If I tried to leave before I should.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Well, as I said, three more days should be all you need.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

...I suppose I'll have to accept that, then.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer to have you here a bit longer, but I'll have to settle for the minimum.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Was I really that badly injured?

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

You were certainly in a worse condition than most others who were returned from their kidnapping.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

...Oh. I see.
