Ever since we parted years ago, there's been an emptiness in my heart. I thought we might find solace in each other when we finally met someday—never expecting that day would never come.
Our master often said, "One life, one price." Unfortunately, now with the flood looming and Aureate Pavilion closing in, I finally understand the weight behind his words.
If we fled, the enemy would seize our journals and the poison would rise anew. If we stayed, the city would be safe—yet at the cost of our lives.
So, I asked them for their opinions. Despite great grief, they all chose to stay, for their beloved ones. As you can see, one life, one price. For the sake of those we hold dear, for the peace of the world, we offer our own lives as the price.
I hope that one day you find this letter and understand my regret and desperation behind it. I hope you find the journal as well—pass it to the right hands to end this plague forever.
May you live in health and peace all your days.
