My Friends,

I'm really glad you guys were there for me immediately following Cosmo's death. It was really tough on me to have to shoot her when she she was stopping DarkOak. The feelings I had for her at that time were very strong, as she was the first person I loved like that.

However, upon further reflection, I find myself thinking that Cosmo wouldn't want me to grieve for her forever. She would want me to get on with life and be happy, and that is precisely what I'm going to do. She broke my heart with what she did...but I know it was to save all of us, so I guess that makes it easier to accept. Despite all my pain, I feel...proud of Cosmo.

My heart feels like it is finally healing, and I think I have the strength to go on now. I think that knowing it's what she would want me to do if she were still here is making that happen faster. Because...I find myself falling in love with Marine, who has gently taken the pieces of my broken heart and put them back together again, even though I rarely get to see her. I trust her with my life, and my heart beats faster whenever she enters a room or I hear her voice.

So...if any of you guys had concerns about me giving up on love, you can put them to rest. I still believe in love.

Thanks for everything!
