Dear Estinien,
I’m not sure how much you’re the type for sentimental letters, or if you’ll even read mine. Some things are easier to say like this, I think - not that I’m really the dishonest type about anything, but, I’ll say it anyway.

… We’re so similar. Aymeric told me a little - about what happened to you. What’s going to happen to you, I guess. I had to stop myself from laughing. Not that it’s funny, that kind of shit’s never funny, but… how fucking similar we are, right down to the end. Crazy.

When I leave this place, I’m gone. Gonna disappear from mortal view and existence and spend my life with the goddess of death as her Champion. I’m not angry about it, or sad about it anymore, really - I’ve come to accept it. But I had the time to come to that, and this place reminded me of it.

Since you’ve got the same thing, I’m gonna give you some advice. I know you don’t want to hear it, probably, but, hell, they’re my last fucking words, cut a guy some slack and read them.

Make sure you tell the people important to you how important they are. Honestly, while you can. Doesn’t matter who they are - let them know. I know you, I know you’re gonna go out swinging, but don’t forget about that part, either. That’s kind of what I’m doing with these letters - making sure I get a chance to say goodbye.

So I’ll hold up on it on my end, too. I care about you. I understand a lot about you, in ways that I don’t know if other people really ever will - so, I'm sorry for being a pain in the ass, but I'm not, really. I’m sorry that you had to lose everything that way, and I’m glad you got your revenge, and I hope you found closure with it, too. I know that grief like that never really goes away - that you just get better at handling it - and I’m glad you’ve got Aymeric to help you with that. You’ve got the rest of the people here, too. You’re well loved, if you’ll let them in.

If your shards were real, then I’d believe it. Stick in the mud as you are, maybe a little part of me’s you. Maybe it’s the same the other way around.

Glad I met you, Estinien. I wish you all the best of luck.
