death + slight depression maybe tw -— my dearest pen pal, i've been..doing. everything has gotten worse, a steady fall into despair no cat could ever crawl out of. some days, it's fine, yes. but others, its hard to crawl up out of the den and get moving. like a rock sits between my shoulders, forcing me down into the nest for a little while longer. like I couldn't possibly be bothered to do something for the clan, and could sleep the days and nights away. and it's even worse when it comes to the clan. they're the reason I can't get up in the morning when I know I should. everyone is so worried, so stressed about nothing and everything all at once. I need a break. your letters bring me increments of joy, and I thank you for this. with much love, metalmarkmajesty
