And I want you to know this
Who: Naoki, Snowball (NPC), and Misao in writing (NPC)
Where: Kennedy household
When: Evening
Upon arriving home, Naoki noticed that Liliya's car was in the driveway. Didn't she have plans for the evening? He couldn't keep track of her busy schedule, but then again every time he tried he always managed to mess it up. Slipping out of his car, he made his way towards the front door, Snowball trotting behind him. Do you think Liliya is in a better mood tonight? The familiar questioned while wagging her tail, waiting for her master to answer. Naoki took a moment to fish out his keys and unlock the front door before sending a mental thought to the dog, I truly don't know. Knowing her, probably not. I can try all I want to cheer her up, but she's just going to be in one of those moods. Because that was how Liliya rolled and Naoki came to understand that very early in their relationship. No matter how much blood she sucked from him, she was always going to be in a tiff about something, or at least that was how he felt.
Walking inside, he let Snowball in before closing the door behind him, heaving out a massive sigh as he noticed the lights were off inside. Liliya was probably upstairs sulking or something. Gave Naoki a moment to enjoy the solitude before heading on up to check on her. As he slipped into the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea, he noticed the mail spread across the kitchen counter. Hmm, looks like Lil picked all of that up. And with that he moved on over to sift through the contents: bill, bill, credit card offer, bill, something about donating money to yet another cause, bill, and a letter from Misao Kusanagi.
"Oh my god..."
Naoki almost dropped the envelope when he read the return address, instantly recognizing his mother's handwriting. Without any hesitation, he tore the envelope apart and unfolded the handwritten letter. It was done in shoddy ink, all written in Japanese. His mother was quite traditional like that. Beyond that, this was proof that she did in fact get his letter the day after the demon attacks and from the looks of the date in the corner, she had replied immediately and was merely delayed by the fact she mailed it from Brazil. After smoothing out the letter, he read silently to himself.
My dearest Naoki,
The demons have attacked Rio de Janerio, as well. I was hoping that you would be safe from such abominations, but that is wishful thinking. Keep that straight head on your shoulders and you should be fine. I wish I could say the same for us. The demons managed to get your little sister, Rei. She's still in the hospital in a coma and we don't know if she's going to wake up. Know that your support for us is being channeled into all the hospital bills. I know you wish you could be here, but the money is good enough. I'm sure Rei understands her big brother can't be with her. Your prayers and love is boundless, though, and that is just as good as being by her side.
I worry about you, though. Not because I don't think you can't stand up for yourself and your wife, but because there is something you need to know. Do you remember when you were a child and I told you stories about how there was a little angel inside all of us in the family? And how I explained that was why you were destined for white magic? There is more to that story that I should have told you long ago, but I never expected for all of this to happen, thus I kept you in the dark.
Your grandmother, Ayaka, wasn't human. She was an angel. A real, honest to god angel. She came here as an angel of hospitality and wished to spread that around the people she was with. She even went as far as to immigrate to Brazil to make sure her human family was at home in the new country. If she were still alive today, she probably would be writing you this letter herself to explain everything, but as her daughter I must tell you instead. That little angel inside of you? Is far stronger than a typical creature with one. It is probably the reason why you strive with your spa and it is definitely the reason why you are suited for white magic.
Though I'm not here to tell you this so you can go on a power trip with your spells. The demons, they do not like us. They know which ones are angelic blooded and they will definitely know which ones are descendants of true angels. They will come looking for you, Naoki. You first and foremost. They will make you their top priority to kill, simply because of your angelic ties. Please, for my sake at the very least, be careful. Don't go around flinging magical spells around because they will sense it and find you. They found Rei and almost killed her. I do not want you to be next, Naoki. I don't want you to endanger yourself or your wife or anyone close to you.
Please be careful.
All my love to you and your wife. Please give her my regards and thanks.
Misao
He reread the letter at least ten times and each time he did his heart only raced faster. Eventually he slumped down to the floor, Snowball whimpering while placing her head in his lap. Tilting his head back, Naoki's eyes welled up slowly with tears as he found himself at a complete lose over which to be more scared about: the fact his sister was hospitalized or the fact he existed and therefore placed himself and everyone around him in danger.
