Hi, what can I help you with?

MAIL DELIVERY
a series of letters or parcels given to the Nannybot to carry into the North Wing. What Viveca chooses to do with them is her business.

Angrial —


Our mission continues. Many of those that share it — that were in Taeum or Sedorum — have now been returned to their home. Some by choice, or a lessening of resolve. Others, it is difficult to say. The way forward is rarely a linear path.


My hope is that you and Entri'i have found happiness and peace, and that those affected by the war have found healing. I have said thank-you before, but I wished to convey the sentiment to greater affect. Your bravery and courage, to change your ways, to permit yourself to trust in others and stand up for what is just has been the catalyst for my doing the same.


I am not especially good at it. But I am trying. I will continue to try.


Your friend,


うちはイタチ.

Remi d’Arbes,


We did not speak in Kilnan, but I was a member of the group there that came looking for the orb, and we have seen your hand at work on other worlds to which we have visited, such as Xrisora. Much of the crew remembers you fondly.


I come with an entreaty.


On one of the worlds, we left a man in our wake who has been cursed to wander, immortal and alone on a dead world. We were not able to help him, and he could not be brought with us. However, given your ability and what I understand to be a noble heart — can you?


The planet is named Badrock. The man, Welford Branson. When last we saw him, he was residing in the ruins of an area known as Scorpion's Bend.


I do not know what I might offer in exchange for this request, but if there is something within my power, I will do it.


Your consideration is appreciated.


- Uchiha Itachi.

(for alexandra, there is a sealed envelope with her name on it. no peeking, viv!)


(This is just a picture, of Itachi and Viveca in the sunlight room side-by-each, a board game visible in the shot (which of them is winning is anyone's guess). They are leaning in close to one-another but not quite touching, but he was clearly the instigator of a selfie, and he is... well, not quite smiling, but there is something in his expression that decries contentment nonetheless. On the back of the photograph is a handwritten note:


Your daughter is still trying to change the universe for the better.


`To love in the face of adversity is an act of defiance against tyranny`.

(For Jhiaaal, an assorted collection of pretty shells, shiny rocks in a nice mesh bag. What do sharks even like?)

and, finally:

Welford Branson,


Sir, we have not spoken. But I wished to convey that you are not forgotten. I am sorry for our part in your fate. You deserved better than what chaos has wrought.


Your name is known. We will keep trying.


- The crew of the Ximilia.
