Do you think it's okay for me to be happy when so many people are gone?

I do miss them and I care about the ones left behind.

I'm happy too.

I think it's what Annie and Max would want for me. Maybe even Papa Hannibal too. But sometimes I worry that being happy when others are sad means there's something wrong with me. I don't want to be like my Dad or like him. Am I a sociopath?

I'm not a prime example of normal, but I think it is fairly normal to be happy even if someone else is sad. And it's okay to miss someone, and still be happy.

Life doesn't stop when something bad happens. Even if we want it to.

You might be the closest to normal I have. You'd know if I was crazy. You were in my Dad's head. You'd see it in me.

I don't think I was ever happy before the island. It's still hard for me to think of it as normal. Maybe harder since everything that happened when I was sent back.

I think you are quite sane, I'm afraid.

It would be a stretch to call this place normal. But I think it's easier to have a normal like life here, than it ever would have been. If things hadn't gone the way they had.

Maybe there's some other world where things went differently.

We can only hope. Right how I'm happy with this world, and the things it's given me.

And it's okay that we are. It means we can support the people who need it.
