Changes

# '''Temptation: Hugs''': My arms are empty, my body cold. I long for human contact.# '''Dedication: Hugs''': I have long studied the act of hugging. Perhaps I am ready for it yet.# '''Ascension: Hugs''': I have bought a body-pillow for practice. The Third Mark is in me.# '''Ascension: Hugs''': I have begun to evaluate my friends to see which of them needs a hug the most. This is the Fourth Mark.# '''Ascension: Hugs''': I have come close to hugging them, but I held myself back. I must wait until I, and they, are ready. The Fifth Mark.# '''Ascension: Hugs''': They are crying, now is my chance! (Oh yeah, this is the Sixth Mark, I suppose.)
