...et la Renaît de ses Cendres
My apologies for the suddenness of this message; this is akin to a spur of the moment decision for everyone involved. We're both hardly the ones to go into something unplanned, and this is the closest we've come to that. However... I believe we both feel that it's the right thing to do.
Many events have happened over the past few weeks, most of which I have difficulty summarizing into journal form. One major item of note is that I have been released from prison, having served my sentence. Looking back, it was... oftentimes difficult in there, admittedly. Leaving that place seems to have released me from the final unreasonable burdens weighing on my mind. As a result, I feel far closer to how I was at the conclusion of my trial than I have these past few months. At this moment, I honestly admit I feel even better than that-though this happiness warrants some explanation...
With Ema unable to come home, I spent most of the remaining holiday season with a close friend, at his invitation. New Year's was passed similarly as well. I apologise if I was difficult to contact in that time, but your well wishes were appreciated.
The past few days after that were enlightening, so to speak. It brought to mind that there's something about the bleakness of winter that mires many individuals in tragedy, hmm? However, that same coldness seems to draw people closer to each other.
Seeing as most individuals on my list are better acquainted with him, it seems best for everyone to hear the actual announcement from him and not from me.
Though I know the past will linger in my mind, and though I will continue to atone for my actions throughout my life... It is also time for me to move on. It is a New Year, and an end to the past as well as a new beginning.
We'll be in Europe for the next while, visiting Ema sometime along the way. I will be ending the updates for this journal as of now, at least until we have finished travelling.
My best wishes to everyone.
Ema, I'll see you soon.
