There's been no news yet on where Julia might be. I'm going to be helping 44B and 26 with the clean-up of my Cafe, or what's left of it anyway. I feel like it was partially my fault. She came to me for help and look what happened. Lucy's dead, and Julia is missing, possibly dead as well. This is what I get for thinking I was a "real" 8. I should've just turned Sophie away… now look at the mess that's left behind.
Spending time with 8, the real 8, has just shown me how inexperienced I am compared to everyone else. Honestly, I can't help but feel I took down Solomon's Temple by dumb luck at this point. But… 8 does love his sayings, and I think right now he would tell me: "The only failure is self-pity, everything else is just partial success." Although I think he says it in French. Either way, he's right. All of this was at least a partial success. I mean, we stopped Miss. Masoch right? And before we lost her, we did save Julia. And, I think Lucy would agree that her sacrifice was at the very least a partial success.
I might be the most inexperienced 8. I don't have crazy magic like 5, I can't hunt as well as 4, I don't have 6's natural intuition, And I'm nothing like 0 and 1, but I think it's a partial success to have one 8 be normal. It keeps all those egotists grounded.
