The note is handwritten, in a sealed envelope, and addressed: TO THEM ALL
Hey,
I'm writing this more for me than for any of you. I know there's a good chance none of you will ever read this, unless the Porter brings you back. Which would be awkward, but I'll deal with it if it happens. For now, I just want to get this down on paper, and leave it in a place where it belongs. A place for remembering.
I was originally just going to write this for Shepard and Kasumi and the rest of the crew, but then the names kept getting added on. Revan, Kaneki, Peter, Kusanagi, Ellie... The list goes on. So many people have come and gone that it gets hard to make real connections sometimes. Hard to believe in something stable, something that lasts. But I keep trying. I know you'd all want me to.
It's crazy, being here. Not 'here' in Heropa or in another dimension, although that is crazy, especially after so many years. It's crazy being where I am now. I know who I am, what I need to do. I've got a great team, with a lot of support, and people looking to me to make the right choices. And I wouldn't have any of that without you. Each of you has given me something or taught me something. How to lead, how to laugh, when to own my mistakes and when stick to my guns. I just wish you could be here to see where it's all led. I think you'd be glad.
Maybe one day the Porter will bring one or even all of you back to me. Then I can show you what I've been building with what you've taught me, and what it's all for. If nothing else, I can buy you a drink, and catch you up. Until then, all I can do is just keep remembering, and keep the torch burning. I promise.
