22 --- For Akaneia (Redux) ♦ Video/Action ♦
[Marth has, surprisingly, opted for video. Usually the noble one restrains himself to his keyboard.]
I do believe it is a great deal different to be here at this time than it is to be home. Last year on this day, I was in Akaneia amongst the celebrations that my sister had thrown for my sake. She has never been one to shy from celebrations either, and for that I suppose I should be grateful. Yet, though it was glorious and heartfelt, this academy was the place that I longed to be.
I have spent nearly four years contemplating the line between obligation and heart. Am I to be completely unified with my people and to forget about myself? Or have I earned the privilege with another year beneath my belt to pursue my own avenues without the concern that I may be punished?
To what extent must I be so dedicated?
[He settles his chin in the palm of his hand as he eyes the camera.]
Thank you for spending these years with me, my friends. May we have many, many more together.
[Then he straightens up, but only by a mite or so.]
That being said...
Midna, I wish very much to see you. If you will allow it, I request you at the very lake we took to the ice upon.
