Chapter Text
To: Klee
Hello Klee! It’s Kaeya again. You might be wondering why I wrote an extra letter to you today. There’s no reason, really. I just miss you a lot. The hospital’s boring, and I really wanted to see you again.
Albedo might’ve already told you what happened, but still. I want you to hear it from me—my farewells. Then, it would be fair for both of us. A closure if you will! (If you don’t know any of these words, kindly refer to Albedo. He would surely understand.)
Klee, by the time you read this letter, I’m heading on a very long journey and I won't be around for a very long time. You might be upset with me, you might hate me, and I understand that. I wish that I wouldn’t have to leave too, but fate had different plans for us. And so now, I can only apologise to you. It’s all I’m capable of doing at the moment, and I’m very sorry I couldn’t have done better for you.
I'm sorry we couldn't meet again at least once before I left. I'm sorry that I couldn't keep up with our promise. I’m sorry I didn't get to give you those strawberry milk myself. I’m sorry I couldn't play with you anymore. I’m sorry that I can’t come to your house and bake cookies with you once I get out of the hospital. And I’m so sorry, for leaving you all alone without a goodbye.
These are all my biggest regrets. I wished I had more time to spend with you, I wished I had seen you more often. I wished I had played with you more often. We had so many things we wanted to do, but we couldn’t. It all turned to dust.
You might cry a lot—you might miss me terribly, and those are natural feelings to have. It’s alright to cry and grieve. But you’re a strong girl, aren’t you? You’ll get back on your feet in no time, I believe in you. And Albedo’s also there for you, so I’m sure everything’s going to be alright even when I’m not there.
I wish I could see the day you grow into a fine adult. I wish I could see you graduate, grow, your first heartbreak, your achievements—how badly I want to see them. But life is unpredictable, and fate isn’t kind enough to grant us more time together.
Although the time we spent was not that long, I love you so much, from the bottom of my heart. You were the bestest friend I’ve ever had. Almost like a little sister to me. Thank you so much for playing with me, for talking to me, because all the time we spent together made me really happy.
You and Albedo both have a very special place in my heart. And I hope that I am special to you too. What am I talking about, we’re best friends for life, aren’t we? Of course we’d be really special to each other.
So everytime you miss me just read this letter and think of me veeeery hard. Because we’re best friends. We are special. Our hearts are connected to each other, like that string telephone we made once.
And please promise me two things. In the future, please stay happy always. That’s all I ask from you. Because when you’re happy, I’m happy! And when you’re sad, I’m sad too. So you better do a good job at being happy!
And please take care of Albedo for me. When I’m not around make sure he eats and rests properly. He needs to stay healthy so he can take care of you. You’re a strong kid, aren’t you? I’m trusting you with Albedo because I know you can do it.
Klee, this is my last letter to you. After this, I won’t be replying anymore. After all, I’m going to be busy. Again, take care of yourself. If you don’t, you’ll worry me a lot, and I don’t think you want me worried, right? You’re probably nodding your head off right now. Always so full of energy, that’s why you’re always so fun to hang out with. The both of you are fun to hang out with, as a matter of fact.
That’s all from me now. I’m signing out.
Goodbye, my friend. Till we meet again one day.
Klee’s handsome pal,
Kaeya.
