You were just like me.
The day you lost me on that damned tower of dread.
The day you lost someone close to you.
Someone who was always there for you.
You were just like me.
Broken.
Filled with guilt.
The world around seemingly torn to shreds.
But unlike me, you didn't give up.
You didn't let the despair consume you, like I did.
You didn't huddle yourself in a corner and let death slowly claim you, like I did.
Instead, you moved on.
And you and I were able to conquer the darkness.
Together.
That's when I learned that...
Life is like a battle.
And those who are able to go through it all, will come out victorious.
That's why, I want to say...
Thank you, Aiga Akaba.
Oh, and happy birthday to you! I wish you a prosperous life for eons to come.
Your buddy,
Achilles.
P.S. I made some fig pie for your birthday. It's on the table. Hope it doesn't suck! 😉
