Joshua,

I've never spoken to a true immortal as an equal before. If you're anything like the ones I've met, I'm sure you hate even the thought of that. Were you with your full abilities, you could have snapped us out of here in an instant, and that would have obviously been preferable. As things were, I found myself enjoying our conversations. Perhaps it was the knowledge that you couldn't snap your fingers and change me into an inanimate object or that my life wasn't pledged to yours, but it felt like a magical experience, one that I've always wanted to know, ever since I learned of my parentage and the world I was to live in.

This is far more sentimental than it should be. What I truly want to say is, you proved a unique companion inside these walls. I'm grateful I got the chance to meet you. Please, try to protect the others as best you can, if there's any bit of your abilities you can tap into. Please help Reyna return home. She'll be crushed by this, but she's very strong.

I'm sorry I won't get to try your ramen.


Your Friend and Comrade,
First Lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis
