Lancer,

..I'm sorry to bother you again, but..I tried to eat lunch today, and it just felt and tasted like hot ashes. It was horrible, and even though I tried at a few different times with different dishes, it was always the same result. I felt like I was trying to eat hot coals.

I'm not feeling well either..it's like something bad is going to happen.

I just wanted to let you know. Just in case you find a cure. I can only think of one person who's terrible enough to do something like this. If I ever see Santadorf again, I'll punch him for you. And if you see him, when you feel better, punch him for me.

But don't do it if you're still feeling terrible. If you're feeling sick, you shouldn't be moving around.

Your friend,

Tohko Amano, the book girl.

Dear Lancer,

Thank you for the flower. I appreciated the gesture. Since you sent me something beautiful, I thought I would do the same.

[Enclosed with the note are a few photographs of the more scenic places around the tower: the meadow, the forest, the ocean floor.

There's no mention of Aoi, of course.]

Lancer,

You're obviously about as mad and sad as I am about the recent events here. Maybe even madder.

If you could, gather your friends-the ones you trust with your life and would be happy to die with-and meet me in the eleventh floor.

I can't tell you why. Not here. I'll understand if you don't come to the eleventh floor or reply.

However, no matter what happens, destroy this note and speak of what was written to no one but me and the people you can trust to keep their mouths shut.

Please. I hate being secretive about this..but I have to be in a situation like this. I'm sorry. I know our relationship recently has been a bit rocky, and I wouldn't want to put you in a dangerous situation unless it was necessary..but I do need your help with what I'm going to do.

Your friend,

Tohko Amano, the book girl.

As answer to your previous message-- No, I have never had children before. However, whilst I cannot pretend to know the exactitude of what having children is like, I believe you now may have a clearer picture of the message I was trying to convey.

She is dangerous.

We may have lost our only exterior support in this tower beyond the dimensions. Dax alone was working on restoring our homeworlds. Whilst it is true the rebirth of our homeworlds may lead to tragedies, we cannot ignore the pleas of the countless souls who lost lives and allow selfish interests to hinder the greater good-- Otherwise how different would we be of those we revile? His burden is now ours.

You are speaking about how heroes are born. They are born from making difficult choices. And whichever choice it is you chose, you will have a part to play in the future of this tower and how this story will end. What part you play, depends on you.

Hey,

Mami told me we would be having our tea party this afternoon. Somehow I doubt I am going to run into you in time to let you know, but you didn't seem all that interested anyway. (Though, perhaps the tea would interest you more with the Irish cream liqueur Lady Lambdadelta left me mixed in to spice it up? No, I'm not telling you where I'm hiding it. I would like it to last a little while. Who knows when I might be able to get more.)

However, Mami has told me that she spends a lot of time on the meadow floor during the mornings if you would like to meet with her there sometime. I really hope you two like each other.

--Diarmuid

April 11th:

My dear friend,

Since we spoke the other day, I have been staying on the thirty-eighth floor between patrolling the jail at night and hunting in the mornings to determine when may be the best time for us to suggest and/or plan Diarmuid meet the princess there... should he agree to, that is. Two days is not a lot of time to say definitively, but it seems like the lounge is least populated with others between the fourth and sixth hours of the afternoon, approximately before sunset. I know you wished for them to have privacy and I understand, so I believe sometime during this period would be the best time to appoint to a dinner between them. I will keep watching just to be certain.

Sincerely,

Cecil I also want to apologize for snapping at you over the network. I know you only wish for Diarmuid's happiness and I realize now that I was out of line in chastising you. I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to do, as he is your family, and even more so to do in public. I pray I did not humiliate you, for that was not my intention, and I truly am sorry.

~~Sincer~~ In addition, please excuse me for prying, but are you all right? I am often only a flight of stairs away if you need anything. Any time, for any reason, you may always seek me out should you need a friend.

~Cecil

April 13th:

Are you all right? I thought it strange when you did not reply to my letter, but I presumed you were merely busy as of late. I'm sure you've seen Diarmuid's network submission by now, however, and the fact that he has not heard from you nor seen you in a few days worries me greatly. I can't imagine you would avoid him now that his curse has been deactivated, but perhaps I do not know everything that has transpired lately? Please let someone, if not me, know if you receive this. I don't care who, as long as we know you're all right.

~Cecil

Brother,

You asked me to inform you should the Endless Witch have contact with me again. While you were missing, I made a network post asking if anyone had seen you and she responded. She and I argued before she stormed off. With everything that happened, I forgot about it until today when I found a rotten, maggot infested heart in my mailbox.

I cannot say for sure it is from her, but it does seem like the kind of thing she would do. If it were from one of the administrators, I think they would have made that clear. This had no way of telling who sent it.

I don't know that it is a threat. She just may be bored. She gets that way extremely easily.

--Diarmuid

[Folded in with this letter is a copy of the certificate that Cu Chulainn had gotten saying that he and Diarmuid are brothers. While it's not an exact copy, considering what tools Diarmuid had to work with it's pretty impressive. He spent several days messing with the press to get the copy as good as it could be.]

Brother,

Sorry I am getting this to you a little later than I wanted to. I wanted to make it the best I could and that required experimenting some with the press. Hopefully, it is acceptable.

Also, have you noticed a whirling or buzzing sound around the tower the last few days? It's kind of annoying, isn't it?

--Diarmuid

Lancer,

How are you? I hope you're doing well, and that I'll see you again soon.

I wanted to tell you, I have a girlfriend now. I'm very happy about it. I thought you should know, since you're my friend. And thank you for being so supportive.

Yours,
Kariya

[He just really wanted to tell somebody, and Lancer is his bro.]

Lancer,

Of course. I will be there.

Suzaku Kururugi

[France's flowery script is shakier than usual. Uncharacteristically, he wastes no time on extravagance.]

I'll be there.

[There are pictures at the end of smiling faces]

Lancer,

Are you interested in Pandora? We've no solid plans at the moment, but we would be honored to know we could depend on you if we needed. I trust you, and I would be glad to be able to tell the others they can trust you, as well.

-Enoch

Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to hunting for some big game in the next week. - with Diarmuid and Waver

-Reno

If you're still up for it, we need to get that party going. Considering what just happened, really bad and really soon.

Waver's anniversary here is coming up, isn't it?

I can take care of the food. We just need a place and invitations. I don't know all their friends.

-R

Lancer,

Thank you for being such a supportive friend--to everyone, not just me. This gift probably isn't of the strength that you would prefer, but I hope it helps show my appreciation for everything you've done, even if just a little bit.

Rick

[Sent with the letter is a strange, lumpy package, which upon inspection is actually just a leather jacket wrapped around a bottle. Said bottle is filled with fresh apple cider--not quite the ale Rick was hoping to make, but it should still be very tasty.]

[There are several things in the package with this letter including a wooden comb and brush. Both the comb and brush are covered with intricate carvings. There is also a small bag of wooden hair beads that share the same detailed carvings as the comb and brush do.]

Brother,

I am sorry it's taken me so long to get something to you for your birthday. I was afraid that as it got closer to June things would get so busy that we would start forgetting things like birthdays and anniversaries. Sadly, it seems that this is proving to be the case. I just want you to know that no matter what happens and how busy we get, I will never forget how much you mean to me and how glad I am that I was put into a room with you when I first arrived here.

The beads and comb are for you. The brush... I don't know if you have anything to brush your horse with, but every animal deserves some pampering, yes? Maybe it will cut down on the biting a little bit too...

Be safe,

Diarmuid
