A WILD REVIEWER APPEARED! *readies writer ball* jk you're not wild x3 I just get excited over reviews.

This isn't just a one-time thing, so keep in mind that I'm only quoting an example of this once so that you can fix it in every other place too. xD With speech, you have to imagine it as the same sentence as what comes after it, and therefore at the end, there should be a comma and not a full stop. However, if the end of the speech is the end of the sentence, and what follows is a new sentence, then a full stop and a capital letter are in order. Let me show you an example. It should be:
Omg thank you so much for this mini-lesson. I never understood how speech and punctuation work and I sometimes get corrected on it, but you helped me to clear it up and therefore, hug thank you. :D

The date order is presumably a mistake; this entry is on the 14th of April, and yet it's after the 17th's entry.
Probably is. >.<

I thought she already knew that this scientist was mad? xD Also, for thoughts, you'll want to italicise them because otherwise it's too annoying to distinguish between thoughts and regular text.
Well I guess she had suspicions but clearly anyone who stands before a killing machine and calls it perfection is mad. XD

All that correcting aside, I found the story interesting. I haven't read a story from the point of view of a scientist who helped create Mewtwo before, although I can obviously see that she died at the end, haha. So I wonder where this story will go and what you have planned for it. Clearly something to do with Mewtwo, but just what, I'm not sure. x)

I found that you did explore the protagonist's views a little bit, but even then it felt rather emotionless. There wasn't a lot of detail regarding feelings or concerns (but, rather, minor skims) that the protagonist had, especially toward the end when she was facing her impending doom. It was also very brief, and even if it happened within a short time span, you could have dragged it out to create suspense and also to flesh out the feelings of the character. That's definitely one thing you could work on (if you wanted...I suggest it XD), as well as more detail about their surroundings. It felt a little rushed toward the end, and overall it was quite short. I thought that perhaps more entries might have been in order, or even parts of it that weren't to do with the entries at all. What I mean is perhaps Cass's reasons for coming there and helping with the experiment to introduce us to her and find out a little more about her before it jumped into the entries. Maybe having some initial excitement for the experiment, but then becoming apprehensive as she realized that it wasn't all she signed up for. There was no transition between optimism and fear, which made me think she was pessimistic from the start. Either that or what I suggested before, but even then I'm left to guess.

I get that Cass isn't the main character and she was killed off pretty quickly into the story (presuming you intend to continue this), but even then it's nice to have a little character development, rather than putting her there just for the beginning and hinting that she's important, or she's different from the others considering she, in the end, was totally rebellious. I hope what I'm saying makes sense and doesn't come across as too critical. XD

Anyway, interested to see how this goes. :] Hope you keep my points in mind and good luck for writing this in the future!
Well it was actually something I intended to enter into a one-shot contest but the contest didn't pull off, so...yeah, this is its first review. It sorta explains why it felt rushed. I'm not sure if I plan on it being a chaptered fiction but hey, who knows what my muse decides? :3

Anyways, I'm taking your advice especially on the character development issue [it's usually a problem with all my short stories so practice practice practice~] and may probably edit/revamp it. Regardless, I feel very honored that you chose to take your time to read and review and I really appreciate your pointers and thoughts (because I know reviewing is a tedious thing to do, especially when you could be doing other fun stuff. Okay let's stop before I sound sappy. xD).

Spoiler:
PLOT TWIST: SHE DOESN'T DIE! XD

if this becomes a thing instead of a one-shot. IF. xD;;
