The simple answer is that I didn't want t9 leave.

The l9nger answer is that I have 6een hiding f9r the past 18 years. When I realized what had happened t9 me, I knew that it w9uld ruin my 6r9ther t9 see me this way. I didn't want t9 hurt him. That was why I didn't want t9 g9. 6ut n9w he is a pr9fess9r, head 9f 9ur 9ld h9use, and as such will 6e spending quite a l9t 9f time here.

I did n9t wish him t9 find 9ut fr9m s9me9ne else.

That Is Noble Of You.

Im Very Proud.

Oh Kankri.
I Am Sorry.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

D9n't 6e s9rry, D9l9res. I d9 n9t mind. I have had plenty 9f time t9 devel9p new arguments and 96servati9ns, and expand up9n my 9ld 9nes. And I am less inhi6ited than I 9riginally feared. I can m9ve alm9st freely, as l9ng as I d0n't make a nuisance 9f myself.

I am s9rry that I have stayed hidden f9r s9 l9ng.

Its Good To Hear From You Sweetheart.

Ive Missed You Very Much.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

And I y9u. Death has given me perspective 9n things, and I realize that I might not have treated you during my life with the respect that y9u deserve. I ap9l9gize f9r that, as well. Y9u were there f9r Salvad9r when I c9uldn't 6e, and I 9we y9u m9re f9r that than I can ever repay.

I Dont Blame You For Anything.
It Would Be Spiteful Of Me To Do So.

I Wanted To Be There For You Too.
I Hope You Know That.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Thank y9u.
I kn9w. 6ut I am as stubb9rn n9w as I was then.

And I'm afraid y9u'll 6e hard pressed to wipe smudges 9ff 9f my cheeks in this state.

[wavesofjade]

Im Afraid I Might Still Try.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Perhaps I c9uld dr9p int9 the h9spital wing f9r a chat. If y9u brew a warm cup 9f tea, I can still feel the steam.

Please, D9l9res, d9 n9t cry...

[wavesofjade]

Im Not Sad, Child.
Not To Be Able To Speak To You Again.

Only For The Circumstances By Which It Has Come To Pass.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

...

D9 y9u think it is a g99d idea? T9 let him see me this way?

[wavesofjade]

I Think That Salvador Is Strong Enough To Cope With This.
He Will No Doubt Be Distressed At First.

I Know He Has Never Forgotten You And You Are Still Very Dear To Him.
As You Are To Me.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

After s9 l9ng, th9ugh?

I am afraid. What if he is angry that I stayed hidden f9r s9 many years?
What if he is disapp9inted that I am n9t like he remem6ers? What if he has h9neyed his mem9ry 9f me in my absence?

[wavesofjade]

My Dear Child.
You Are His Brother.
Nothing Has Changed In That Regard.
He May Be Angry Initially But He Loves You.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

There is s9 much that he thinks I have missed.
And yet, n9t even the ministry c9uld have kept me from 6eing there.

[wavesofjade]

I Would Have Expected Nothing Less.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

...

I am s9 pr9ud 9f him.

[wavesofjade]

As Am I.
There Is Much To Be Proud Of.

If It Would Be Of Help To You I Will Volunteer My Presence For The Occasion That You Decide To Reveal Yours.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

Thank y9u, D9l9res, 6ut. Y9u kn9w me, I must always stand 9n my 9wn tw9 feet.

[wavesofjade]

Of Course.
But The Offer Will Be Open To You Should You Feel That You Need It.

I Love You Both.

[c9rp9realn9rmative]

And I y9u, ma'am.

[wavesofjade]

I Know That I Have Expressed This Sentiment Already, But It Will Be Good To See You.

I Hope That Your State Of Life Impairment Will Not Keep You From Maintaining Contact.
