Hello, these letters will be updating superfast now, since they're only about half a page (it's scarily short by my standards so expect them to get steadily longer) Thanks to Hyourinmaru10 and mysterios for reviewing the previous chapter.

Cheers!

Dear Momo,

It's almost New Years now, only a few more minutes until the next year is here. The funny thing is that I never really paid much attention to how quickly the years passed because they're so trivial to us at this point. How many years has it been since I've been here? Several hundred? And what about Captain General Yamamoto and the other Captains? The years must be simple things to them. We were celebrating in Company One's courtyard when the Captain General came to speak to me. Matsumoto was drunk out of her mind with Kira and Hisagi behind her so I asked him about the years and he just looked at me for a long time. He said: "We retrieve the lives of those gone ahead, ones that are so short or very long. These long long years have given me the time to come to appreciate the chance we've been given, Hitsugaya. It is a lesson learned." Then with that, he left me to think about that, in the cold. I think I've thought about it long enough now. I never really imagined my world becoming so out of balance with one person missing, especially you. The years will seem so much more longer and I doubt I'll ever take them for granted. The Captain General was right, you know? Death and Life is a lesson learned.
