Mary’s Diary, Exile, Day 7

It is yet another day in Exile. It has been a while since my Assistant has left me with these humans for a period of time. One of the cruellest facts about being a chatte* is that we have but a limited understanding of the concept of time and therefore I am unsure I understand how long my Exile shall be. I am aware that this is my seventh entry and, according to the human’s explanation, it is my seventh day here. But can I trust her?

In the meantime, I have befriended the House Spectres. As per usual, phantoms are quite agreeable companions, some of them having centuries of knowledge to share with myself. The humans are also quite tolerable as they continue to respect my authority and they do not expect me to act like a family pet. I stroke them occasionally to reward their obedience.
