Oookay…let's try this one more time, huh? ::sighs:: I'll just say that I am MUCH happier with this "To Whom It May Concern" prologue than I was with the other one (which isn't very surprising). Even though more of you liked the other prologue I decided to keep two of your reviews at heart and keep with this format because it flowed better and made it more like Sora was actually writing it instead of some whacked-out dictionary reader…

Anyway…I want to thank everyone for your feedback and being patient with me. It really, really, really means a lot to me to have gotten so many different comments on what you liked and what you didn't like and all that jazz… I love you guys!!…

WARNINGS: none, unless you're afraid of Sora's random thoughts…

To Whom It May Concern:

There isn't much that can be said about the first part of my story other than it was just the beginning of something much more meaningful. It had its ups and it most certainly had its downs, but it was just what the title suggested. It was an awakening…my awakening. And, as the dictionary suggests in one of its many different definitions, to be awakened is just the beginning of some other kind of feeling or emotion.

But what comes after the awakening? Is there a wholesome feeling of relief that everything is going to be okay? A feeling that now that you know what to expect your life will make sense?

For some people, maybe. But for me it wasn't anything like that. Of course I had an overwhelming feeling of relief now that I was able to remember a past that seemed impossible, but that was it. There was no sense of closure, no feeling that my life was now going to be perfect and make sense. No, I didn't get the joys of feeling anything like that. All I was left with were the sometimes confusing memories and a very heavy heart.

Everyday was a struggle. I missed Riku more than anything in the world. Everyday I couldn't touch him, hear his voice or see his face was Hell. And it had only been a week. I called out to him through our mental link, but I never got an answer. Pretty soon, I started to never expect an answer from him and just held one-way conversations with myself in the hopes that hearing my voice eased Riku's pain in some way.

Sometimes it was so difficult that I wished that Riku, Roxas and, Axel had never found me on that fateful October night, that I had died instead of having been forced to live such a painful existence. But then a little thing would make up for it and I would realize how stupid I was to think such a thing. If I hadn't have made it through the awakening, I would have never been given the chance to tell Riku that I loved him. I would have never been given the chance to get just a little bit closer to my brother. I would have never been given the chance to be myself.

And then came the stress from me and Roxas' decision to run. It wouldn't have been such a difficult task if we had been able to set an exact date for when we were going to do it, but that was impossible. We had to have the letter requesting our return from Ansem so we could go. Roxas figured that there would be a specific date for when Ansem wanted us back in the letter so that would give us a little big of a head start before anyone caught onto what really happened.

With everyone gone—Riku and Axel, Kairi and Naminé, Leon and Cloud—there was no one left to turn to and no where left to hide from the reality of the entire situation. Roxas and I were alone and that was painfully clear every morning when we woke up. But, like the good little sons we struggled to be, we tried out hardest to keep our heads held high and smiles on our faces whenever we were around Maho. She already had enough stress on her shoulders and didn't need to be worrying about our well-being.

And so, with that said, I'm willing to share the next part of my tale with whoever receives this letter and wishes to listen. Like the first, it's not an extremely happy tale, but it's one that needs to be shared; a story full of hurt, betrayal, and among many other things, understanding…

My greatest regards,
Sora Leonheart
Angelic Prince of Akari, Angelic Seraph, and above all else, Human

A/N: Voila…and there we have it. Better, yes? I hope you all agree 'cause I think I'll go crazy if you don't. LoL. But I really am happy with the way this turned out. It definitely sounds more like Sora wrote the letter and it goes along with the beginning of the first part and kinda keeps it all tied together, so I hope that you all enjoyed it…

Anyway…once again, thank you to everyone who reviewed both of the other prologues and gave me your feedback, especially those of you who were honest, but not brutally so. It really meant a lot to me. And I hope to hear your thoughts on this as well…::hugs to everyone::…

Sooooo…until my next update (which WILL be the first chapter, I promise), adieu…
