This is not a goodbye, my good friends, but a mere space in the letters of the story that has brought us together. May the gods be gentle with you all until my safe return.
And for you, my dear Yiss, may the great heavens above and the vast seas take good care of you, because perhaps it is in your company that they will finally learn of kindness.
We will see each other again, hopefully at better times. So instead of an agonizing goodbye, I'll just say, an always hopeful, see you later.
Always yours, Annie (whom?)

I can't read this right now, it's making me sad for everyone, I'll marinate the fuck out of this and then come back when she has finally lived all she needed to and is more or less accomplished and reunites with him and they're happy and all that yada yada happy stuff. Otherwise I'll very demurely as a proper lady kick myself in the stomach until I pass away. Goodbye good fellas, see you in some months or years, maybe.
