[Cobalt],
I have been well, do not worry for me. I am still sorry to have left you all, but I am also grateful for the time we had. Eos was so dear in my heart, I could not have stayed away a moment more. I had hope and cause, and that was reason enough, but . . .
I cannot agree. I love you so very much and I can understand the great temptation, but I cannot be content in your choice. I can understand why you would not wish for Eos, but go elsewhere. Go anywhere. Remaining is poor comfort, whatever you may think you can endure for the sake of others. Please, think of yourself.
[The writing changes. It's definitely shakier and scrawled out.]
You are beloved. You have my aid whenever you may need it. Do not hesitate to call upon us.
Thank you for your letter. Unfortunately, since those still inside the production only get mail on fanmail days, I didn’t receive it until it was forwarded to me a few days after my graduation. I appreciated it all the same, though.
In your letter, you asked me to consider myself. Thank you for worrying about me, but thinking of myself is exactly why I chose the way I did. I want a life where I can be happy, and to me, that means a life surrounded by those I love. By choosing the other route, I’d be able to spend the rest of my life with one person, yes, but I’d forsake my connections with all the others. And that thought alone brought me enough heartache that I didn’t think I could be truly happy. When I consider my choices, my heart feels more at peace this way. Perhaps it will be a different story in a few hundred years, but only time will tell.
I’m very sorry if you are disappointed in me. However, for the first time in a long time, I feel excited about my future.
Senpai, [Firefly] and I are doing well so far. We’re staying with some friends who graduated a long time ago, and I missed them all like crazy. It’s been wonderful catching up and hearing about their lives and what they’ve been up to. It’s been very healing!
We’ve been given a stipend from the production, and that’s been really helping us get our feet under us. During the day, the three of us have been out hunting for a more permanent place to stay. We’ve found some apartments that look promising, so now it’s just a matter of waiting for the paperwork to go through. Once that’s settled, the next task will be finding a job. It’s surprising how similar this is to just any regular city... people go to work, pay bills, do the grocery shopping... I guess if you had asked me when I was young how I pictured the afterlife, I can’t say I ever would have expected it to be like this.
One downside is that it’s way too dark here, even during the day. It reminds me of home a little too much. At some point in the future, I want to go traveling and see what other worlds are like. Maybe we’ll be able to find somewhere that’s warm and bright and peaceful where we can spend our days. I’m looking forward to it!
Speaking of traveling to other worlds, my wish went through. From now on, you’ll be able to travel to other worlds, too. When someone takes Heaven’s offer, their original world becomes the domain of Heaven. My understanding is that you and [Jack of All Stats] will be able to physically visit any other Heaven-aligned worlds. So if your journey ever becomes too perilous, if you ever need somewhere safe to rest, or need food to eat, please know that there are places you can take refuge where not even the Astrals themselves can follow you. I hope with all my heart that this can be of use to you and ease some of your burdens.
I fought hard for it, but unfortunately it turns out it is completely impossible for people like me to visit places within Heaven’s domain, which now includes Eos. So as much as it pains me, I won’t be able to visit you in person with a big care package like I’d hoped. But at the very least we can still see each other if we go to the Tokyo-F visitor’s center at the same time. And thanks to the wish, we can now text, call, facetime, and email each other for communication in real time. So that’s cool. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s better than nothing!
Please be safe out there. Please know that I am thinking of you constantly. If there’s anything I can do to aid you, please don’t hesitate to call on me. I’m wishing you the very best.
