Aveline,
I'm dead. I don't know how else to put it but I'm dead. Kicked the bucket. Not coming back. Ever. And yeah, I should have listened to you and been less reckless but where's the fun in that. Look, I'm sorry for what's it worth. But yeah, I'm dead. Sorry, Ave.
Ok, I don't know how to say this but I do want to you to know that you were like a big sister to me. You were always looking out for me ever since we meet. Trying to make sure I didn't get in too much trouble. Not like that worked. And I know we didn't always see eye to eye and I didn't always listen to your well sounded advice that I really should have followed. You always were there; looking out for me. And I'm thankfully for that. And I guess, I do love you. But like not like that. You are my big sis. And I'm grateful for that. I'm glad I met you. Thanks for always looking out for me. And for everything.
And can I ask you something? Please look at for Bethany and Merrill. Please keep them safe. Also, thanks for getting Bethany out to safety when this whole mess began. But can you make sure she doesn't do anything crazy. That she doesn't completely destroy herself in grief. Please make it know that she does have people that care. Let her know that she isn't alone. And, please, keep Merrill safe. Don't let her end it or anything. Don't let her become lost in her grief. Please. Let her know that I do love her but don't let her blame herself. Help her through this. Maybe share about you and Wesley. But only if you want. It might help. Just watch over both of them. And everyone like you always do. Varric going to need help. It's going to be hard on him too. Thank you, Aveline.
And Ave, I know I'm asking you a lot but don't forget about yourself. They're there for you too. Let them help. If not them, then let Donnic help. Don't just rely on yourself or take all the burden. You do that to much. Just look out for yourself and know there are people there for you. Just be safe.
Look, Aveline, I'm sorry I'm dead. And I love you like a brother. You're the big sister I never had. Thanks for always having my back. Thank you for looking after Bethany and Merrill when I'm gone. Thanks for looking after Varric and everyone. Don't forget to ask for help. Let Donnic help you, he is your husband after all. I'm glad I know you and that you are my friend. Thanks, Aveline, my big sister that I needed.
