wearesuperior | Craven Castle- Letter to Nanami Chiaki

To my dear Chiaki,

I am so very sorry that I have caused you this pain, for if you are reading this I am likely dead. I did not wish for you to experience such a thing, but in a battle such as this sacrifices may be necessary. I am a Shepherd and I am proud to risk my life in the defence of the innocent. Death is a risk I am prepared for.

Chiaki, I must tell you that I have truly treasured our friendship during the time we had together. You are a wonderful young woman, in possession of intelligence and charm, and I trust you shall do brilliant things with your life. I would have loved to play games with you again and I hope we had time to have a frank discussion before my time came.

I believe you are stronger than you think. I believe you can win- not this game, which no one can win, but the battle against those who have attacked us and wish to continue attacking us. Do not falter, do not give in and do burn their dreams to ash. Live, in spite of the path they have laid out before you. Attack, in spite of the chains they have wrapped around you.

I shall be watching your actions with great interest.

Your friend,
Maribelle
