things have been kind of weird. For starters I haven’t been as busy which isn’t really weird but I guess it kind of is because before that I was busy everyday with King stuff. The Villain kids I think are really starting to like it here. The son of the shadow man is starting to warm up to us but something doesn’t really feel right. Part of me still does not trust them. However‚ I know that the only reason I don’t trust them is because of what happened to Carlos. I can’t judge them based off others past
