Yuri,

Whether you do respect me for my dilligence, I didn't take my break last month as you said you wanted me to work harder. I also read your letter and chose to put in the effort, as you said I didn't want to anymore. They are the reasons you didn't hear from me. If it stresses you out, then reconsider your expectations from me.

Listen, I don't want you to keep thinking bad of me. I've chosen to think better of you myself, so please do the same. For me... This is my fault, I brought up a topic that, honestly, no soldier should ever bring up with their family when at war. I truly am sorry, Yuri. You know, all my comrades think I'm crazy. They're always staring at me, asking me why I use my break to write to you. You see, they only send letters home once a year, but I just tell them that it's because I'm writing to a 19-year-old boy. You're so fragile, missing a letter could break you. Just make sure you fill me in on how you're holding up, alright?

Love Otabek x.
