6.7 Navigation, Orientation
backDay 31: Stuck forever? Never mind.
It has been a month since the crash. We might be stuck here for a long time, or maybe forever. But you know what? That is okay.
We are safe because we understand our environment now. We know where to find food and water, which areas to avoid, and how to navigate the island with ease. The Flowan near the river have even started trading with us, exchanging fruits for fish we catch near the coast. The Altan in the highlands taught us how to climb safely, and while the Silvari remain distant, they haven’t shown hostility, so we respect their space.
Every map we created is part of our survival. The resource map ensures we never go hungry. The hazard map keeps us safe from danger. The navigation map has turned the once-unknown island into a place we can confidently call home.
If rescue comes, it will be a relief. But if it does not, we will survive. This island no longer feels like a prison. It feels like a second chance.
