Castles Made of Glass
Part Three: Dearest Kenshirou...
"In the fields so clear and so clean
Seeds needs love
And I'll teach them from the light
And the sky cries white tears of snow
The field and the seeds wake up from ascent to shine
Down into wake of spring
And the seeds rise again, will the thought to this time
And my hope it will grow strong
And the seeds lives again, will the thought for this time
And my hope it will grow strong"
--Devil May Cry "Seeds of Love"
I wish I shared your sentiments about Major Schubaltz, but he cost us dearly. Lieutenant Aethelwulf? Isn't he the one in the stolen Republican König Wolf? I think I had a brush-in with Aethelwulf, and I don't think I wanna do that again. The König Wolf's lack of physical weaponry doesn't mean shit, the pilot's got powers that exceed far greater than Raven's Geno Saurer. I think Aethelwulf will mop the floor with Raven... how does he feel about our little genocidal prick anyway? MSTing... hmmm, sounds fun to me, can't wait for the borders to open either... We hadn't seen a bad movie in years, I missed those times we snuck out at midnight to see the late showings of a lot of the horror movies. Don't you remember, that was when we first kissed. We kissed during the final seen of The Ring, you held me tightly, shaking like a scared little rabbit. Our eyes met, then that's when we kissed. We admitted to each other that we loved each other, that you didn't want to see me leave for the Republican Military Academy. I told you that I had to, but I'll spend these last 3 nights with just you. And that's what we did, the final night was the moment I will never forget... our first 'intimate' night together. Wilson and pops were out of town for the night. We shared a bath and a meal together... At first, you cried on my shoulder, begging me to think again about enlisting. But I told you that I would be okay, that I'd write to you daily. Then the night was rather intimate, we went at it all night. I did what I promised, I wrote daily. You replied just as fast, but then... you stopped writing. I was worried that you found another man or woman, I was really scared that you actually ended your own life. But I found out that you were enlisted into the Imperial Medical Program, you were a Red Coat... an enemy! I didn't want to cry myself, but I ended up losing it after Hermann ordered me to take captive a few medical personnel that belonged to the Empire. I thought of you, that's why I lost it. I thought I killed you when I was ordered by Major Ford to blast them away. I am happy that you are here, talking to me. I don't want our political views to separate us, I love you, Kenshirou. I cannot wait for the borders to open, I want to see your smiling face again... and your petite body. Damn that Hardin bitch for smacking you needlessly. Kenshirou.... dearest Kenshirou. I can never say it enough. Please, love... write soon. I'd love to hear from you again.
Truly Yours,
Jake O'Connnell
