diary entry

Dear Diary,

Finn found out that his sister died. He's been in such a bad mood lately. I don't even know how to make him feel better. Locke says that it isn't my place, that he has to feel better for himself, but I don't believe that. Aren't friends supposed to help each other?

Is Finn really my friend? Can I call him that?

I really want to.

After the night in Market Town together, he went to a bar. He usually doesn't drink, so it was very odd to find him there, so wobbly and not feeling well. He threw up over the railing of the ship as I helped him back to his room. He mostly sleeps now, and Locke says he's just being lazy. I know he's just sad, but she doesn't seem to think that being sad is enough of an excuse to get out of work. I wish she'd take it easy on him.

I've thought about stopping by his room to talk to him. I take him soup when I can. I always knock on his door and leave it there for him, but I'm too scared to actually stay and see if he needs to talk.

What would he say? That he's sad? We all know that, and I've never lost a sibling. I don't know how to comfort him, so I just keep bringing him soup.

I suppose that will be good, so long as he eats it. He doesn't come to the mess hall now. I think I'll talk to Locke, see if she'll let him go see his sister's grave. That would be good for him.

I think so at least.

-Erin
