Dear Pascal,
Thank you for your letter. I have shared this development with Velia, but
we’re not telling anyone else, at least not for now. We were so excited when
the researchers told us that the Valkyries were moving on, and we would
suffer under their harsh rule no longer. It never occurred to us that Condor
wouldn’t be there when we got to the other side of the unfortunate blackout.
We talked about him often, wondering what became of him with his new job,
and what fun new people he would have met over the last two years. I can’t
believe he’s gone, and I’m frustrated at how unfair it is that we were
separated from each other for so long. We finally reconnected, only to be
ripped away once more, like some cruel cosmic joke. I can’t imagine what
it’s like for you. You got to know him fully. You watched him grow up.
You’ve seen his laugh. He sent a few photos of himself to me and Velia, and
one video to Velia. He wasn’t really much of a smiler, but we don’t have
very many examples, do we? I sure would have liked to see that face again.
Since we can’t tell him, Velia wants me to let you know that she waited for
him. She knew she would never get the chance to meet him in person, but
still, she hasn’t met anyone else. She hasn’t tried, and she hasn’t let it
happen. But...I think it probably needs to happen now. Condor wouldn’t want
her pining for someone who can’t even write to her from across the void,
would he? No, I knew him well enough to know that. Anyway, I’ll let you go.
There’s nothing to say about the blackout. Most of our lives didn’t change
on a day-to-day basis. For the most part, it has no effect on our internal
communications. My job is a bit different, but as the saying goes, it’s
nothing to write home about. I’m still doing what I’ve been doing forever.
Maybe that’s how I could honor Condor in my way, by doing something brave,
and making a change in my life. I’ll think about it. Thanks again for
replying. The anticipation was making me sick to my stomach. At least now I
know the truth.
Your loving daughter,
Corinthia
