I don't own Hetalia okay? I honestly don't have much to say on this one so enough of the A/N, on with the fic!

Dear Lucille,

I didn't know where else to turn. You seem to have been the only person that my brother Ivan had seemed to connect with after the war before he had come back to New York. I am Ivan's little sister Natalya Jones. You may not know much of me other than what he may have told you while in Paris, but he's told me and my husband a lot about you and the Bonnefoy family while he was staying with you. I would like to think that he had a good time and you understood him as I feel he is falling away from us. My son Nikolai will have his 4th birthday in a little over a month and he's worried his uncle Ivan would not be happy and said if he's not happy then it would be the worst birthday ever. I am still lucky that my twins don't know much that is going on.

I have a theory if he can open up to someone he can try to get over whatever shell shock he has. I am not an expert on psychology and I have been trying to find some ways to help my brother without trying to force him or imply he did something wrong by living or he's less of a man by having this happen. Something has been bothering him and he has been keeping himself secluded when he is not at work. My husband Alfred does work with him and he does his work well, his boss does not have any complaints and says he had missed him while he was serving this country and was proud of what he had done. My sister had told me this had made him more upset when he had come home. Alfred's brother Matthew had served in the Canadian Corps and was discharged last year for an injury and has some shell shock himself and has tried to talk to Ivan one veteran to another, and we thought this might help as they had seen similar things and while Matthew is trying to make a breakthrough or just let him know he is not alone and it doesn't seem to be working. That was when I remembered that you are staying here in New York for a while before heading out to Hollywood. Maybe you could speak with Ivan?

I understand that I may be rather presumptuous and asking far too much of you and you may not want to get involved with this at all. But we are very worried about him and I don't want him to hurt anymore. You are the only one who I could think of that he might respond to. My older sister Katyusha had already tried taking him to church and having our priest speak to him but that did not help. Forgive me if I am asking too much of you but I don't know what to do and I hate seeing him like this.

Thanking you dearly for reading this

Natalya Jones.

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. I don't know when I will be able to update again. Work, school and various projects for both make things hard to get what I like doing done. I don't have much to say other than remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
