Hello sister,
Thank you for writing to me.
Things have been a little bit hard for me recently. We’ve made some strange discoveries about what’s going on here in Felwood and it’s made me question a few things about myself, but I have some new friends that are helping me with it a little bit.
I think I’ll be ok. It’s just a little bit hard for now.
I’m happy to hear that you seem to be doing well and that your mission seems to be going smoothly.
I have a couple guesses about who you might mean by “Andy-Ian” but I suppose I should keep them to myself if it’s meant to be a secret.
It’s a real honor to be able to serve on a Cobalt Company squad, and I’m so proud of you for everything you’ve accomplished in Pandaria.
I’d love to visit Pandaria sometime soon, but the presence of the Sha makes me too worried to risk it.
I don’t want all my gloom and anxiety hurting everyone around me more than it already does.
I definitely understand what you mean about the biteable despair. I think that’s part of why I so often throw myself into my work when I’m feeling down.
There’s something liberating about having a problem you can kill when everything else in your life feels like it’s far beyond your control.
Thank you so much for this mask, though. I’ll have to hang it up somewhere so whenever I see it I can think of you and hopefully it will draw out my despair too.
Thank you again for writing to me. I miss being able to see my baby sister.
I’ll try to remember your words about patience. I know that’s a virtue I am sometimes lacking, but while it doesn’t seem like my problems are going anywhere anytime soon, some days are better than others, so I’ll hold out for you and everyone else too.
Maybe when you get back we can spend a day together and cuddle as much as we want.
But until then, I’ll be praying for your safety.
Much love,
Velrin
