(told in Ayeka's POV during the third Tenchi movie)

Letter to Tenchi

My dearest Tenchi,

It has been a while since we've last seen each other. Too long, in fact. That's why I'm writing to you.

You left so suddenly, leaving the girls and I alone in a house that I've come to think of as my home away from home. So Ryoko and I have been sent out to find you and to bring you back home, where you rightfully belong. But on this journey, we've come to find that finding you is a very difficult task. Every trail we set out on ends up being a dead-end. It's a labyrinth with missing entries.

Sometimes I think that you don't even want to be found, as if you have ran away from us to seek something better, like a paradise or something. But occasionally paradises turn out to be a total nightmare. It's sort of like when I came to Earth. Remember? I didn't want to stay. I wanted nothing to do with Ryoko, Earth, and even you, Tenchi. I wanted to go back to Jurai, where I could become the princess. But as I stayed, I began to be fond of Earth and of living with you, even though Ryoko was and still is a pain. We became instant family, along with everybody else. I thought nothing could tear us apart. Not even another girl.

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up on staying with you forever. I knew that you were going to move away when you were old enough and I promised myself that I wasn't going to be sad. But I have to break that promise to myself. I want more than anything for you to stay…I truly mean that.

Ryoko (can you actually believe that I'm actually traveling with her?) thinks that we should just give up and go back home to Okinawa. But I can't! I need you here with me. I can't just give up when we're so close to finding you! It's the easy way out, and you know good and well that I'm not that kind of person to give up on her feelings.

Why am I even writing to you?

Damn.

You're probably not even going to receive this. So why am I even trying? I don't even know where to send it to…

God, Tenchi, why won't you just come home already? We all miss and love you very much. I hope you know that.

Please, just come back to us soon…

Missing you,
Ayeka
