To my fondly-missed Reika,
As I write this letter, I have in my possession the earring that my mother left with me as a keepsake.
After the daydream I had at the doctor's laboratory a little while ago, I could hardly contain myself.
I reached out my hand to the priestess, trapped within her prison, and most definitely touched her. The very same earring I have was dangling from her ear - the earring I gave you when I departed the village, which forms a pair with mine.
Perhaps she is you yourself, and just like in my dreams, you are at a shrine somewhere. I feel as though maybe, just as you were taken somewhere beyond my reach in the dream, I may never be able to see the real you ever again.
Somehow or another, even if only for a moment, I want to see you once more.
If it is as in the dream, then you must be at that large shrine known as the Kuze Shrine.
It concerns me that the doctor had not finished interviewing me for his study, but the only thought in my mind at the present moment is of returning to you as quickly as I possibly can.
Please stay right where you are until I arrive.
