Sister, is that you?
I’ve been thinking of you lately. Even more so than I already did. I miss you, sister. I miss you so very much. It’s hasn’t been that long, has it? I’m just wondering… simply wondering how you would react… you know, to what I have to tell you? I met someone. Someone just as special as you. Yes, I know, I never expected it myself. Since the day that I lost… since the day that you went away, I’ve always felt cold and alone. Unloved, unwanted, unneeded…. I’ve always felt that people were overlooking me, ignoring me, discarding me. Dearest sister, if only you could see me now. I’m sure you’d like him, I’m sure you’d love him. He’s as much to me as I was to you- protective, caring, kind. I’m so happy! Now there’s always someone with me, a friend I can count on, a friend I can share secrets with… no, oh no, not like we did… never! What we had, was very special, my sweet sister. No one, absolutely no one can take your place. I still cry for you, sister mine, I weep and I cry and my heart breaks each and every time when thinking of you. Your memory is so vivid, your face… I could paint your face if I had the talent, blindfolded. Your traits, your face… everything is etched into my very soul.
You’ll be happy for me, won’t you? I’ve been through so much already, all on my own. It’s not weak of me to long for someone to hold me, to support me… is it? You were strong, so brave. You didn’t scream, you didn’t cry. You didn’t even have the time to cry or scream, did you? I’m sorry, sister, I know. I shouldn’t have brought it up. I love you, sister, and I really wish you could’ve meet him. I just know you’d be friends with him too! I’ll be sure to send you a letter soon, and I’ll have him write something too; that way, you already get to know him! Won’t that be nice? I have to go now, sweet little sister, always remember that your brother loves you very, very much and he’s hoping to see you again anytime soon.

Father, are you there?
I can’t recall the last time we spoke, father. I know you’ve been very busy, but I hoped… I simply hoped we could… you know, talk? Ever since mother… left, you’ve been busier than ever. I haven’t spoken up often, but now I want to, father. I… I need your help. My friend, he… I think you like him. At least, I thought… no, I really thought you’d like him. He’s also interested in ancient artifacts, and he knows a lot about Egypt. Really he does, father, more than you can imagine. I think he can really contribute to your research, and maybe you can get home and just be here… just be here. I’m your son, and you’re my father, but you’re not really showing it. I’m sorry, it sounds harsh, but it’s just true. Don’t worry, there’s someone else here willing to give me attention. I said I needed your help before, but you know something? Don’t bother. You won’t be returning from wherever you are for me, and I have someone here who’s willing to share his time with me and make me feel I’m worthy of at least some attention. He’s not always that… willing, but he listens to me. I don’t think you’ve ever listened to me, father. Have you ever heard a single word I said? That I didn’t want you to go? That I didn’t want a fancy apartment for myself? That I don’t care that any other kid in the world would be jealous at what I had? I don’t have a thing, father! I don’t have you.
I don’t want to lose you, father. I’m not asking for much. I never asked for this silence. All I wanted is to have you around, and share my life with you, and with him. You could’ve helped me with him, as sometimes he… I can’t explain it to you. Not like this. What’s your excuse, father? Are you sending me a check again? I don’t care for the apartment. I care for people around me. For having them around me. Not away from me, like you. Did I do something wrong? Did I say something you didn’t like? Do I remind you of someone? I’m your son! Why did you leave me… and leave me to him? Your son loves you very, very much… and he’s hoping that you’ll return to him.

Voice, you’re still around, aren’t you?
There you are! I wouldn’t know what I’d do without you! What I was doing? I was writing a letter, see? I wish you would write something on it too… but I know you don’t want to, so I won’t ask you about it. I don’t want to bother you. What’s that? I really wish you’d stop doing that, you know. I don’t need another figurine… the cupboard is crowded as it is. You shouldn’t have done that, everything’s fine as it is. Did you put anything else in my bag? It’s the third time I transferred to another school- my record must look like a mess by now. Father doesn’t ask questions why I’m moving, he simply sends his checks and sister… I doubt she cared much, as long as she’s receiving my letters, it’ll be all right. Did I tell you about the people I met today? Domino High is a really nice school, and the students sure are friendly. I hope to meet a lot of them, and get along with everyone in class. Maybe they’ll want to play a game too, you know? What? Yes, a game, with us. Do you promise… do you promise that you’ll…behave, then? I don’t want them to end up in a coma as well. Yes, I know you’ve been doing that. It’s a crazy way of paying rent, haven’t you ever thought about that? Besides, I don’t want you to pay rent. I’m happy to have you around, as you’ve always been there for me, protecting me, listening to me.
It’s getting late and I’m tired. No, I’m not ever tired for you. What was it that you wanted to do? Work on the game again? Yes, it’s going to be beautiful. So much detail… you have an incredible eye for detail. You always talk with so much passion about the game, it’s contagious. Yes, I want to help you, you know that, and no, I don’t want anything in return. Just your company… I wish you could touch me. I’d love to get a hug or something. I think that’s the one thing I miss the most. Maybe… maybe one day it’ll be possible. No, I’m not taking the Ring off, you silly… I never want to take it off. It was a gift of my father, and it brought you! How could I ever take it off? All right, remind me later that I need to finish the letter to my sister… I don’t want to keep her waiting. I don’t want to keep you waiting either, no. You know that your landlord loves you very, very much, and he’s hoping to be with you as long as possible.
