This journal seems very old, and it's covered in dust. You wipe away the cover and flip through a few different pages.

My sweet Cora, you would be ever proud of me this day, for I've finally found a worthy successor. Elmer's a bit young for his years, sure, but his heart's nothing if not kind. You would have liked him, of that I'm certain.
I still miss you, you know? Spheres, do I miss you. It's nearly all I can do to just keep on going, but that's what you would have wanted. Even after I pass the torch and retire, I won't let grief consume me.
My heart bleeds for you, Cora, and I know that will never change... but you'll have to wait a little longer yet, for this world still has a use for me.

I'm sorry, Cora. Oh, you would be ashamed. How could I be such a fool? That horrid fire of late, it... it was none other than Elmer who caused it!
I was so sure that despite his many quirks, he was a capable young man, but now? Lloyd, of course, insists on his innocence, but Elmer makes no effort to convince me as such. I only question why I ever thought he could take on the burdens of leadership in the first place.
Cora, my beautiful Cora... Now more than ever, I feel so lost without you. What do I do? What would you do?
Greg Affer, Journal Entry 2803
I've made up my mind. Elmer may not be suitable to replace me, but hope finally comes in the form of the noble Sumner Fugemann. You remember him, Cora? He was that boy who tended to the orchard where... where we shared that first moment.
Spheres, you were so beautiful that day. I'll never forget your laugh as we shouted silly throughout the trees. But yes, Sumner. Wouldn't you believe it? He's a grown man now! Fairly handsome, too. The years have been kinder to him than me, that much is certain.
He approached me last week, with a basket of your favorite apples. He said he's so terribly sorry about what happened, but that if I ever was in need, he'd be happy to shoulder my burdens.
Yes, he's the ever capable sort, and I'm confident he'll make a great alderman. Under his watch the orchard has continued to thrive, and I'm certain Badongerst will be no different.
The dusty pages are beginning to strain your senses, and you put the book away.
