Undated. Written in Thalassian. The handwriting is shaky.
He said he loves me. Loved at least. It was the truth. The reason for it. Not just small feelings. But that word... love. Unsure how that happened.
Guilt ridden that I couldn’t return the feelings. Tables turned.
Noticed. I still make him nervous. Moving on though, he says. I do not love him... not the way he loves or loved me. Despite that. He will still follow. Still be a friend. A brother.
The only weak one is myself. Too weak to be brave.
Informed my Anindir about what the frog had told me. He understood why, it seems. Wasn’t upset. He held me close. Kissed me softly.
Still afraid. Yet he isn’t afraid of dark secrets. Will it change when he knows them all?
A caterpillar. He gave me one. Anindir doesn’t like the spider friends I have. His attempt to make me forget them, it seems.
Once more I fear the nightmares. Even in his arms. I can’t block them.
