(An unsent letter, written in charcoal pencil on parchment)

To Violet,

Hello, my sweet little girl. It's your mother. Much time has passed since I last wrote to you, as I was still carrying you, excited to meet you for the very first time. Now, you are here in the world, and I can't be more excited to see you happy and healthy...

There's been so much, lately. Too much, maybe. So much that I can't stop thinking about them, thinking on... on what I could be doing to help. Thinking about what I want to do. Thinking about what I've done thus far.

Thinking... THINKING... just too much thinking...

It bothers me now, y'know? I mean, before I'd be glad to have a moment to myself and think things over, but I've been doing that for far too long now. Far too much.

Violet's doing well, still the happy and healthy baby girl...

Well, there's quite a few mixed feelings here tonight, it seems.

Violet met Cousin Ammy for the first time. And it. Was. Amazing. Violet was incredibly well behaved, especially as she was held by Cousin Ammy... Man, those two are going to get along great. I really don't think there's going to be anything wrong with that.

And earlier, I went to get Violet from Rick's house...

By the time Rickstan had reached his brother's home again, all his fears were realized. He had gone to Gythleth's home in the hopes that he still had some kindness within him to leave Rickstan the deeds to his home, so that he could change the ownership to himself.

The letter which Rickstan read detailed some horrible truth's in which Rickstan was left to impart to all his loved ones. How could he live with the shame and bare the responsibility of having to face those loved ones and tell them. He couldn't even believe the words, but it was certainly his brothers hand. How could Gythleth have done this?
