Halki, I need your help.
I'm going crazy, losing my mind. I know I'll go completely crazy soon, so I need you to come sooner. I know it's been ages since we've seen each other, and I know that our separation was on horrible terms, but I'm starting to lose my sense of what's real and what isn't, what's possible and what's impossible. I don't know why this is happening, or when my finality will come. All I know is that it is happening, that my mind's end will come.
My mind... it's starting to take what is and isn't real, taking them out of their black and white areas, throwing it all into one big mess, a muddied grey area of questions. Is anything I see, feel, hear, or, worst of all, remember, real? I don't know anymore! There's only one thing that isn't screwed up, one thing I know to be real. You. I know you're real, that you can help me. Somehow, I know that you're the only one that can help me.
I know I might fall apart completely the moment I see you, but I might heal with you here. Yes, the risk is large, but I know I'll fall apart if you don't come, and it will take much longer on my own than if I fall apart with you here. If you come, there are two possibilities, a shattered creature or the cracked one I've always been. If not? I will fall apart, no chance of anything else. In all honesty, I'd rather fall apart sooner rather than later, as well as with someone I love than alone, less worry that way, y'know?
I'm telling you, I need you to come here and help me. I haven't moved since we last saw each other, since that horrible day so many years ago. If you don't come soon, I'm going to shatter into so many shards, so many tiny pieces of Aika that nobody will be able to put me back together, not even you. I'll have no hope because there will be no hope for me to have.
Halki, I need your help.
Your sister,
~Aika
