The letter itself looked ordinary enough, and upon opening it, Xavia was greeted by a long piece of text… Text that was clearly in Mark’s handwriting…
Her train of thought was cut short when Cara added, “…W-well take your time reading that letter! I’ll start cleaning the house up and making a bed for myself! As promised, I’ll be taking good care of all of you…!”
Before anyone could even reject her offer, she had already pulled the rest of her things inside! Unable to just tolerate this, Dolly grumbled, “…Xavia, we can’t just-”
“It’s fine. She’s pretty hard to get rid of and I should know. Regardless, we need a helper anyway, and since she’s going to be doing all this for free, we may as well let her stay. With that said, I’m heading off to read Mark’s letter first…”
What on earth had he wanted to tell her three years ago…? Heading to the bench beneath the big tree outside, Xavia then began reading through the letter… and by the end of it, she couldn’t help but feel absolutely awful…
‘By the time you’re reading this, I’ve rewritten this letter countless times… Honestly, this is the first time I’m experiencing so many mixed emotions throughout our time together… Regardless, I’ve known for the longest time that I was adopted, and that my actual parents didn’t want me… It’s the reason why I kept trying not to let my foster parents down, and for the longest time, I’d keep my heart walled up from others for fear that I’d get tossed aside in the end…’
‘That is, until I met you. By chance, I overheard my parents stating that you were a bringer of misfortune, and that your actual parents abandoned you by the side of a small mountain… It was then when I thought that you and I were not so different… Hell, you were far more unfortunate compared to me.’
