Hello?
Sorry for leaving like that. I know it wasn't my fault or anything, but still... I promise I would've left a note or something if I could've.
I got back yesterday, actually. Late. Really late. I've been meaning to say something all day, but sometimes it's easier just to stay quiet and hope that nothing's changed while I was gone. You know, pretend that no one's left. ...Has anyone left? No, don't tell me. I don't want to know yet. Just let me know if you're still here, okay?
Whoever took care of Tumbles, Little Sam, and Lucretia... thank you. I owe you cookies or something.

Crazy week, huh? People dying, people coming back to life for a day, the network turning into a weird version of The Sun. I'm not a fan of gossip. What people do, who they do it with--that's all their business, no one else's.
I'm even less a fan of murder, but I'm sure the police will take care of that.
Coming back to life, though... that's really something. I ended up running around the garden most of the day. Maybe this doesn't make sense, but being alive seems to make everything brighter. Things taste better, flowers smell better, running is more fun. I never would've guessed that I'd actually miss getting my heart rate up and needing to breathe. It was a nice day, but being like this--being dead, I mean--isn't bad. It's way better than not being in the City would be, and I still get to do the things I care about and meet people.
[Her voice takes on a gloomier tone that is very unlike Penny.]
Jenny went home. I checked the Hall and there she was. I'll definitely miss her. I didn't know her for very long, but she's always so sweet and cheerful, and she's pretty much the only person I've ever had a serious conversation about freeing the animals in the zoo with.
She said I could be part of her family, too--that I'd make a good sister. I've never had anyone invite me into her family before. Having a family...
[There's a brief pause, a sniff, and then, with forced brightness:]
So! Charlie, Sophie--shopping tomorrow, right?
