So [...] I guess I sort of keep a lot of my stuff to myself and all, but I guess I can trust you after this long. You're pretty okay for a guardian. I haven't had a lot of luck with them. Guess I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Or something else.
When I was 8, I killed my mom. It was an accident. Gaea tricked me. I just wanted to protect her, but instead I killed her. After that, my Aunt Rosa turned the rest of my family against me. She made sure I wasn't welcome anywhere. I moved around a lot in foster homes. Not all of them were good people.
That's why [...] well, I'm not really a holiday person now or a birthday person. The first holiday after Mom died was the worst. Then the birthdays. So [...] I guess thanks for being different. I think Mom would have liked you. Sorry for all of this. If it's weird. I don't know. I just figured I could trust you, which doesn't really happen with adults.
