Dearest Akane, light of my life,

I suppose you have a point, but it never hurts to be courteous with the ferrier of the dead across the River.

That being said - yes, I am glad you realized who exactly I am speaking of. And indeed, it is - he inherently has an Authority over all souls of dead within his domain, and if the ship is considered a part of that....why, it's not a surprise that I ended up here to begin with! Or why even with such strong connections, I was unable to return to your side.

The Lord that does not relinquish what is his easily...we may be in for quite the fight for our freedom, both you and I.

I will commit those passes to memory, though I am a bit worried. If there are three left, and normally most 'trials' end with two dead...where will that final death come from? Again, I caution you to be careful, my dear Akane. Though I wish dearly to see you again with my own eyes, I don't want to do it in the land of the dead! Or if you are correct and nothing happens, don't you dare think of putting your name in some sort of sacrifice draw! I won't allow it, do you hear me?!

...Ahem. Anyway.

However, if the memory wipe comes to pass...well, you needn't worry. Of course I would be patient with you - however, if there is some word or phrase I should say in order for you to quickly understand the depth of the relationship we once had, would you mind sharing it with me?

It is interesting that it keeps coming up, yes. And I'd noticed his inability to change, but do you mean to tell me he's still just as...'challenged' as before?

Regardless, I'm sure you will be fine in regards to your weight. I know it's a touchy subject for a young woman, but you are young and healthy - and given it was done in service to others, Kaito will hardly blame you for gaining weight. Honestly, he's as like to praise you more than anything! I do wish I could send you some sort of earplugs or something to keep the noise at night low, but unfortunately there's little to occupy us down here. Still, I hope my well wishes will be enough.

[There's a pause in the letter, a blot of ink as if his hand trembled for a moment - strange, for such clear and almost beautiful handwriting.]

I am grateful for your forgiveness, my dear. I'm not sure if I would be half as understanding in your place! I am sorry to hear of your difficulties with Aoi, as well. I had hoped with my loss, he would understand he needed to be there for you, and tell you all that he knew...perhaps I assumed too much of him, in the end. I can only extend my condolences, and assure you that I will tell you everything I know whenever I can.

Catching your love and sending my own, doubled,
Papa
