Hey~ I'm just about here!

[Filter: Private]

Won't be long now, before I'm almost there.

...it's Jarek of Sylea's son, I can't pretend he isn't. 'rene really loved him, it makes me sick to imagine it but...well, she's not shallow. If she loved him so much, there had to be something good about him, right?


...ugh. That hurt even to write!

The kid's family, though. And he's her son, too...heh, maybe he'll look more like her than his dad? I dunno.

So I forgot to ask, when is the best time for me to fly out to see ya? I can be ready to go whenever but I don't wanna drop in on a bad time.

Happy birthday! Wow, you kids're growing up before my eyes...well, not literally, but you know what I mean.

[Filter: Lauren]

Heh, sorry this is late, but...happy birthday, cousin! Man, nineteen...I remember that year pretty well. Hope yours is a good one!

[Filter: Private]

...heh. So long I've been thinkin' about it and now it's actually gonna happen.

I'll finally see her again, face to face. I'll meet her boy...damn it, I still hate that it's his kid, but he's also hers and well, no matter who he looks like I'll just have to keep thinking of him as 'rene's son, not...their son.

Don't dwell on it so much, Tyre. I mean, travel! You haven't done something like this in ages, and Mom and Dad even said they'd be okay without ya for a while! Yeah, exciting!

[Filter: 'rene]

Hey~ What's new?

[Filter: Private]


...fuck, we all know it doesn't stop hurting but still. Might be nice if it'd take a break! Sometimes I wonder maybe if I hadn't been running all over the continent and I'd been home, maybe I coulda helped them...

[Filter: Private]

...well, at least aside from Cylina I haven't seen any of 'em write for a while. Or I missed it if they did. Maybe this time it'll last.

[Filter: Private]

...would've been an even better Festival if you guys'd still been here.
