This time last year, I was in a very bad place. I won't get into details over how bad a place it was, but it was so far down that it's had a pretty profound effect on my life for the last year. I ran away from my life and these dreams and the powers the dreams gave me... pretty much escaped to alcohol and in the end even some drugs.

When I realised how bad it was, and that I'd run away from every single person who could have helped me, I only had one person left to turn to.

That man was Urdnot Wrex. He funded my way through rehab and gave me a job when I moved back. He was my sponsor, and my friend, and a large part of my support system. Now that he's moved on to other things, it's up to people like me to take on that mantle. So here we go:

When Urdnot Ranch was rebuilt last year, its focus was not just to help at-risk children realise they could make better choices. Urdnot Ranch is also an outreach center for any dreamers, like me, who are having a time handling the dreams and powers/magic/etc they might be getting from them. We have counselors, we have people who can help train you, we have some extra beds if you need a place to stay, we have many other ways we can help you.

The only thing Wrex ever asked of me was that I pay it forward by volunteering at the ranch and helping other people. If your life is bringing you so far down that you need help climbing out of it, please come to us. We'll do what we can to get you through this, and there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you.

I think my main trust issue is the part where I just expect someone not to stick around.

And then I went and did that to you. I don't want to rehash all of that, but I know it was wrong. I said I was sorry before, I meant it then, still mean it.

I know Shepard isn't going anywhere. But she might die. That's the big fear. That they die. I'm still dealing with that.

And I'm sorry that I walked away from that door. My temper won out. No, really it was my fear, the same fear as you--that people leave, that I'm not enough to keep them around. I guess I decided to beat you to it.

But we can't dwell on the past. Let's just try and look forward, alright? You and Faiza have a good future.

I have regrets about more then one relationship in my past. Different kinds of regrets, different kinds of relationships. I have regrets about times when I've hurt Faiza. But...there's something about this one that's sticking. Faiza's become so important to me.

Hm, you once asked me to gush about her and I refused. The truth is, I've been holding onto a ring for some time, waiting for the right moment.

Only you can know when the right time to give it to her is. What I can say is that I recognize my arrival might have thrown that off for you, and I'm sorry for that, too.

I'm happy for you, though. Genuinely.
