My dearest Gosetsu,

It gives me great joy to see you alive again

After the events at Doma castle I had accepted the only logical conclusion that you were gone to us, having sacrificed yourself to assure the lives of your leige and comrades. Now I can thank you in person instead of at an empty grave.

I’ve come to realise something during our time together, something I did not dare share with you until now. The importance of our mission at the time didn’t offer such luxury. When you were gone, I thought I would have to live with the regret of not telling you how I really feel for the rest of my life, but now that I see you are healthy and whole, I can say this with my tiny heart filled with joy.

I love you. Fully and sincerely.

You are one of the strongest, bravest and most selfless people I know and you on the reason why I have taken up the way of the Samurai. What I once thought was purely admiration grew into a longing to always be by your side, swords drawn in the heat of battle fighting against a common enemy. You’ve penetrated my very soul during our time together and now that you are back, all those feelings have come flooding back.

If only I had the courage to tell you in person, but you know me well enough as a man of few words and I highly doubt my confession in person would speak true of my hearts longing. I can only pray to the kami that you feel the same as I do, but if this was not meant to be, I will understand.

Love,

Dink Dreeply
