Chapter Text
Dear Mom and Dad,
There’s something that I need to tell you, but writing this is really hard. I arrived in Monark right when I expected to after leaving home. I went to the Arcanum entrance exams, I took them, and I failed. I am so sorry, you sent me off believing that I could do this, and I wasn't able to live up to your expectations, or even my own. I feel very alone right now. A part of me wants nothing more than to head home, but I can’t return like this. I’m going to figure out some way to do this, and once I’ve gotten into the Arcanum, I’ll come home for a bit.
I love you both,
Rúna
(PS: This may not reach you for a while, sending letters to a town with no Courier's Hall is very expensive.)
