[ The camera is covered, but Joshua is making no real effort to disguise his handwriting. He's too upset for that. ]

What should you do if you're so homesick you honestly, truly cannot stand it?

[ A few minutes later, the following is added. ]

The friendship club might have to wait a bit longer.

How does dreaming help? [ He can get to questioning the second part later. ]

When I am asleep, I sometimes dream of home, and it seems as real as truly being there. If I am awake, then it creates the feeling of being home.

Dreams aren't enough to fool me anymore. What do you mean by instinct?

[There's a pause before the next reply is written.]

I am not a human, so I think of home quite differently. Even if I have never been there, I still have the memory of such a place, and it is a comforting memory. I have the same feeling of being home when I do things that are natural for my species.

I do not know if that helps.

[ What would qualify for natural for Joshua's species would probably be being in his home. So that doesn't exactly help. ]

It's good that you've found something which works for you. [ He honestly means those words. ]

Thank you.

If dreams do not work, then the Battle Dome probably wouldn't, either. All I can think of is having others from your home nearby, and recalling it together. Memories have a greater weight when more than one creature agrees upon them.

If that is useless advice, I am sorry that I cannot help.

It's something to try, at least. There are others from my home here with me.
