Dear husband,

tonight I spoke with Lance. I was sending off my last letter, when Lance walked in. It was the middle of the night, so he had obviously just waken. Right away, the young lad asked me why I was out here every night, sending off slips of paper in little capsules.

I told him everything.

I told him about my life on Altea, about the Lions, and about you, my dear. I told him that every time I wrote a letter I would send it to where Altea once stood, in hopes of you receiving it and telling me you are alive and well.

Lance stood quiet for a tick, before he told me his true thoughts. He said that he couldn't begin to imagine what I was going through, the grief I had been holding on to. He told me I couldn't hold on anymore. It would wreck me, and in turn, the team. He told me I could remember you and hold onto you without the letters, and without the destructive grief I was showing signs of.

I'm glad it was Lance that walked in on me.

I miss you terribly, Tryald.

Sincerely, Coran.
