Sigh. It’s not like I didn’t expect it. That was one of my fears coming here, isn’t it? I must remember that I mean nothing to them and they mean nothing to me after this, so I should always please myself first if I have the opportunity to please them. I should not make myself wear things I don’t want to. I should not wait to join them for meals if I don’t wish to do so. Instead, I should make full use of them as possible. Be a leech rather than a tag-along. I should not care if I am left out in conversations.

I should not care, period.
