cw: implied abuse language & abandonment

Hey there,

I know you're probably scared seeing me, thinking I'll do the same things those other people did, and I completely understand. But I want to assure you that I won't. Really. I know I might seem like just another person who's used you and made your life a living hell. There have been times when you wished it would all end, and you've tried many times to end your life, but you haven't because your parents are already gone and your uncle and aunt took you in as their foster child. You're too innocent to understand everything and you love your little family too much. But you can't do anything to even begin to explain that you're not okay. They never listen to you. You have nobody to listen to you.

But I come here as a traveler, a lone wanderer who's lost her way. Seeing you, I wish there was something I could do to earn your trust and help you start a new life. Honestly, I don't think I'm worthy of your trust, since I'm a human too, made of the same blood and flesh as those who've hurt you. Only an angel can truly rescue you. I have a new purpose for my journey now. The path is no longer so deserted. I will find that angel for you.

With loads of love,
Saramitra
