Ahiru,

I have been living together with you since when? It seems so long since I last saw your human form. A lot of times I miss seeing you smiling at me, looking at me with those beautiful blue human eyes. Ever since you turned back into a duck, I've been grieving. I...well, I really liked you, Ahiru. We worked together to save Mytho, and I developed an affection for you.

This is kind of hard for me to explain, but I just want you to know that I will always love you, and that I care about you a lot. Even though your are a duck, I will always cherish those wonderful days we spent together, and how we laughed and cried together. I hope you feel the same. If your wondering why I'm writing you a letter, its because I could never say this to your face.

Ahiru, I... believe that we were meant to be together. But, at the same time I wish I didn't love you this much, for the more I love you, the more I get hurt, because I know that we can never truly share and exchange our love. I would do anything, Ahiru, to get you back to a human form, and I mean anything. Ever since I received that love letter from you, my love began to take shape. When you told me that you didn't write the letter, I was actually kind of disappointed. Also, when I found out that you were the duck I cried in front of, I felt more comfortable around you.

I'm sorry this letter has to be short. I just hope that you understand my feelings. Ahiru..... thank you. Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for being there for me, and for being so wonderful......
