My routine changed once more inside this dreary, empty palace, and this time...
It wasn't for the better.
My nights were long and cold, filled with the inability to truly sleep as I drifted between consciousness and dreams, while my days were lackluster.
Li Yue was my one, singular light inside what had became another dark time in my life; my daughters laughter, smiles and cuteness warmed me up no matter the occasion.
Even when she dirtied herself or did something I told her not to, seeing that wide smile as she waited for me to grab her and lift her up made my anger or annoyance fade away instantly.
However, like baby's do, she slept a lot these days, leaving me with time spent all on my lonesome, with nary a thing to occupy my mind.
