Does anybody else ever find they feel homesick?

What do you do to make it stop?

[ Oh. This is something Nanako knows all too well. She still gets it sometimes and she's been here for a while now. ]

It's okay to be homesick. Home is important, right? I miss mine a lot, too.

But sometimes when I get really sad and miss it a lot, I go find someone I made friends with here, or go somewhere I like to visit or do something fun.

It's not the same as being home, but sometimes finding something that makes you happy here makes it not so sad to be away from it for so long.

I suppose you're right. I miss my family a lot. I haven't been away from home for this long before, and not knowing when I'll get to go back is hard sometimes.

I hope I have made friends here, though. I haven't been here for very long, and there are a lot of people I still don't know. All the more reason to get out and meet them, I guess. I'll have to make a real effort, when everyone's feeling better. You're quite correct, though, there's no point sitting and brooding about something none of us can change.

I think that would just make you more sad, if you just sat and brooded about it. I've never been away from home this long before, either. I miss my family lots. But. We're here to do something really important, too. So sometimes remembering that makes it a little better. I'd want them to be proud of me, when I finally get to see them again.

I'm sure they will be. It sounds like you have a very positive attitude to this. It's admirable.

Speaking entirely honestly, I wish we know rather more about why we were here. It can be somewhat difficult to take everything we have been told on trust, for all I cannot think of any reason for whoever brought us here to have been anything but upfront about their motives.

We're here to help people! I think they needed lots more help than they had already, so maybe they looked for people who would be good at it...

I hope so. So far I seem to have caused far more trouble than I have solved. I only hope I can help other people more effectively than I have so far helped myself.
