Letters to You (Shion x Nezumi)

Letter 2

Dear Nezumi,

  Thank you for saving me. You'll never know how much it meant to me for you to do that, to know that you had actually been keeping an eye on me, even though you weren't specifically watching me.
 
  I really like staying in the West Block with you, even though it's dangerous and rather different from No.6. I feel...alive. Yes, alive would be what I'm looking for. There are so many different things I've been able to experience in my brief stay in the West Block; it's not just a semblance of life I see now, but those who truly are living. I'd be honored to become a member of those who live, those who survive. I may still be naive, and I may still not fully grasp the entirety of the West Block and the life is live here, but I really do want to stay.

  Nezumi, I just...I just want to thank you for everything. For helping me escape. For helping me through the parasite bee. For sending the letter to my mom. For supporting me, even if you don't know it. For teaching me how to live. Thank you Nezumi.

  Ah, look at me, I'm already getting sappy on the second letter. Yes, I've decided to keep writing to you, even though you'll never read them. When I started cleaning the bookshelves, I started to flip through some of your books. I found The Pictures of Dorian Gray and decided to place my letters there, it seems like you haven't read this one much and I'm actually rather fond of the story now.

  Well, I'll have to leave you now Nezumi. I don't want to waste paper, especially since it's hard to come by in the West Block. Until next time my friend.

From,
Shion
