Dear Demeter,
You are anything but weak, vulnerable, and pitiful. You're slightly ridiculous for thinking those things about yourself, but that's all. And don't be silly, if you were to tell these Jellicles to stay put, they wouldn't, because they miss you and want you home just as much as I do. There's no need to apologize. None of this is your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame your Uncle.
Now, about those pesky rats… there's only one thing we can do, other than that we just have to run like crazed Pollicles. Once we reach Jellicle territory, they should have sense enough to retreat. The only thing we can do is be sure to never let them latch onto us with their teeth; I've learned the hard way that once they do, they'll only bite with more force as you try to pry them loose. You mention you've had a few run-ins with the rats so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I wish I could've been there to protect you, but at least you'll know what to watch out for, and pretty soon you won't have to worry about rats or Macavity or warehouses ever again.
I have found myself thinking about that blissful night as well, Demi darling. Pondering it now has me smiling while I write to you. It's what has motivated me to wake up every morning and do the things I do, because I know with each passing moment, I'm one step closer to having you here with me, and if I do my job right, those blissful memories of the past will instead be blissful memories in the making.
Your best friend,
Munkustrap
