Nitohei Aono,

Tsukune-sama

My dearest Moka, Thursday February 22, 1945

They have attacked my love. They are here. I am writing very quickly, I don't even know if this will get to you in good time. They have pounded this island with bombs from their ships and their planes. They have taken over the main beach. I don't know if this is going to be a battle we can win.

Our Commander will not let us surrender, if it came down to it. He said to be a prisoner to them will cause great dishonor to our family. Please Moka, know that I love you beyond measure and I will make it home to you!

With every ounce of my being,

Tsukune
