As she waited for Evan to go and get Soleiyu, she sat down on the couch and tugged the blanket that was laying on the back around her to keep the chill that was seeping through the window at bay, and then she began to read.

Quote:
Hi there! Lysithea, or…Talia is what I think my new name should be, so, Talia, as I assume you’ll not be powered when you’re reading this, but if you are, hi Lysithea! Oh, obviously, you should burn this top part just for the fact that I outed you, but…that’s fine!


Talia. It was a nice name, and she grinned slightly, twirling one of her pigtails around a finger and looking thoughtfully at the pale lilac sheets of paper, running her fingertips over it and struggling to remember writing it. There was nothing. No spark of absolutely anything. Ah well. It had been worth a try.

She glanced back down and continued to read.

Quote:
Obviously, you’re with Evan, and he’s fantastic, he’s a real friend who’s known you forever, back when you were Cambria and then when you were Ana too, you sent Ilse to go with him, because you’re sure that he can help her, and oh God, I hope that we were right about that, Talia. If you’ve forgotten that Ilse is your girlfriend, you’re an idiot. She’s perfect, and if you see her, you need to hug her and kiss her and tell her that you love her. Even if you don’t remember, you have to at least try. She deserves it. When you see your cat again, give him a kiss on his fluffy white head please, and tell him that you love him, I think he’ll need that. Oh! And do what the princess said, tell Valhalla that she loves him deeply…and try to make friends with the pastel girl, Cybele…She’s like you. Like us. She can help, I bet. Just. Don’t push people away. Even if you think they know you when you don’t know you, don’t push them away. They love you, for you. Embrace that knowledge and love them back. Okay, that is the most important things to remember, I think…if…you’ve forgotten our…fake brother. That might be for the best. Don’t believe his lies. Or any of those lies. Find a way to protect yourself from Chaos…and go see your homeworld! Enjoy space for me! Lots of love, and I wish us the best!

-Ana


Her eyes went over the letter several times as her mind tried to take it in.

She had been…dating Ilse? And had brought her to Evan…was that why Evan looked so uncomfortable when he mentioned Ilse? Why he kept throwing her name at her? Like it mattered…

Because it did matter, and she just couldn’t remember it with her new swiss cheese brain…ah well. That was a problem for later, and she rubbed her eyes and tucked the letter back into the backpack as she waited for Soleiyu to come in. Kissing his white fluffy head was something she could do very easily.
