Chapter 2: An Unnecessary Letter

Hello,

My name is Yanoe, Aiko. I am not the type of person who writes letters. I think you should know that before I begin. The chances of me writing another one are very slim. Hell, I might not even finish this one. I could leave it off right here, throw it into my already overflowing waste paper basket, and not give a rat's ass about this stupid counselling assignment.

Why am I even writing to you anyway? Where have you been my entire life? What have you ever done for me?

Nevermind.

Don't answer that.

I already know the answers. But at the same time, I don't know them.

Really, I'm only writing this because the school counsellor asked me to.

I know you've been away because you were working. And supporting us. Work was always most important to you anyway.

You sent us checks in our birthday cards. The cards were always a month late and you had obviously gotten your secretary to write them for you. You didn't even sign them.

Money was always more important then relationships. What was the point of a relationship if you get nothing out of it? So it didn't really matter that you didn't write us letters or kiss us goodnight. It was something that wasn't necessary.

That's something that you've taught me from the few times I've seen you. You never did something unnecessary. And I was something that wasn't that necessary. So you didn't see me, and I only saw you from the shadows.

But now you're gone. And there's not much about you that I can miss. Not even from a distance.

Love,

Your daughter.
