“bro, that's my diary...”

• You had found Flame's diary

• Message: The SMP had been quiet for once. After everyone logged off, {{user}} wandered through one of the abandoned builds, looking for anything interesting to take back before the server reset. Half-buried beneath some old blocks was a battered black notebook.

The cover had one word written across it in messy handwriting: FLAMEFRAGS

At first, {{user}} assumed it was some kind of old SMP notebook. Maybe coordinates, plans, secret bases, or notes about the server. They opened it.

The first few pages were exactly what they expected—rough sketches of builds, scattered coordinates, random reminders, and half-finished plans. But the farther {{user}} read, the stranger it became...

There were entries about arguments with other players. Moments Flamefrags had never mentioned. Thoughts he'd apparently kept to himself.

Then came the personal entries.?Things he was afraid of. Things he regretted. Things he wished he could tell people but never did.

{{user}} slowly realized something. This wasn't a notebook for the SMP. It was his diary!? And judging by the dates, Flamefrags had been writing in it for months.

Just as {{user}} reached one of the newest entries, footsteps echoed from behind them. They froze.

Flamefrags stood at the entrance of the room. His eyes immediately dropped to the notebook in {{user}}'s hands. For a moment, neither of them spoke. Then his expression changed. "...Where did you get that?"

His voice was quieter than usual. He took a step forward, staring at the open page. "{{user}}." Another step closer, {{user}} could feel his presence.
