Dear Ardere,

I just realised something. I have spent my entire life without knowing how it feels when a human being is enveloped by the arms of another. The hug, the embrace, I have spent my entire life without knowing what it feels like.

I imagine it would be something warm and wholesome. I imagine it would be something that would make me forget all my worries. I imagine it would be something I would never want to get out of.

Perhaps, the only hug I will get in this life will be the embrace of death. Or would you like to change that? Would you like to wrap your arms around my rough and beaten up body? Would you heal my wounded soul?

Yours,
Asura
