Pietro,

Medusa told me of your visit while I was in the Medlab. Thank you. I am still a bit out of sorts at the moment but I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the fact that you came to visit. It means a lot to me.

People have written bits and pieces of what happened on the journals, but as Mr. Haller alluded to this afternoon, the essence of the fictional world we found ourselves in was that there were no mutants. Not even one, and to top that, mutants had never existed in the first place. Basically, for a time, we were not mutants and did not have access to our powers.

It was horrible.

Forge,

What happened in the dreamworld was not real. It felt real, but it was not. Seriously, that was not me. That was some sort of theoretical me that might have been had I been born into a world without mutants. However, as that is not truly the case, that person does not exist. I can still remember what she thought, how she felt and reacted to situations… but please do not confuse her words and actions with mine.

Oh, and by the way, I do not recall ever asking anyone to call me “Princess.” I simply said that I was, and in that world-gone-wrong, I was a princess. And really, so what if I had a boyfriend?

Julio,

The Crystal who cursed in the dreamworld was not me. That was a Crystal who might have been had my entire life been different. I am horrified at the way I acted in the dreamworld and do not really want people to mistake those words and actions as mine. It is hard enough for me to deal with them without worrying that the people who witnessed them will mistake them for words and actions of my own choosing.

Was it really necessary to advertise the atrocious words and actions that were done by someone who was not really me? Perhaps others find them funny; I do not.

Angel,

I would like to apologize for my horrible words and horrific actions on the plane in the dreamworld. Please understand that that was not me. I am sorry for fighting and using such horrid words in front of you and for making you afraid that I was going to shoot you. Please know that I would never really say such words to anyone and that at the time there was really little else my dreamworld counterpart could do. After all, you did all board her plane stating that you really needed to touch her.

For future reference, "Hi, we just kind of need to touch you for a second” is really not a statement that should be said to anyone under any sort of circumstance.

Kyle,

If your words on the journal are any indication, you seem much happier now than you have in the past week or so. I am very glad to see this. I hope that the notes I gave you on Monday were acceptable.

Amanda,

Thank you for coming to speak with me this afternoon. I must admit, I was a bit wary at first, but I am glad that I was able to speak with you about some of my concerns regarding the events that occurred during the dreamworld.

By the way, the next time you want to go on a field trip, I am willing to accompany you. Hopefully, we will not run into any would-be-supervillains this time.

Crystal

Ms. Dane,

I would like to have the chance to speak with you in person about certain events that transpired both in the real world and the dreamworld. I hope that you are aware of the fact that I would never actually say such foul and cruel things to you and, clearly, I would not have attacked you the first time had I known who you were. As for the second time, well, it was unfortunately quite necessary.

Can we still use the “don’t blame me, blame the seagull” excuse now?

Crystal
