'Sup Reze… uh, I would write you letters but, uh… I don't know how to do that. I know you were trying to teach me but… I'll be honest, it was kinda hard to pay attention. I got distracted by… things. Heh, sorry. Anyways, I got this recorder thing instead. I had to hide it from my roommates, Power would probably eat it, and Aki would be on my ass about it… I just wanted to try to record something for you. I'll mail it to you when I think it's got enough meat on it's bones… and once I figure out where you went…
Y'know, I think after rolling it around in my head a bit more… I guess I could give that whole country mouse thing a try… I mean, the city and the food is fucking awesome, but I think I said earlier, I have roommates, and our place is pretty small. But I saw on tv some of those celebs with the big-ass houses in the middle of nowhere… so if you were thinking about something like that, I think I'd be down to go with you. Especially if it was just you and me… my roommates are cool, but they're all kinds of crazy… and I liked being alone with you…
Honestly though, I guess you should meet my roommates at some point. They're kinda important to me. Aki, like, pays for almost everything. And his food isn't too bad, but I like raiding his cupboard more and making my own shit. My other roommate is Power… she's like, a lot. Now don't get the wrong idea 'cause I'm rooming with a chick, I got nothing for her. She's tried to kill me a few times, and Aki too… but that was kind of a while ago, and we kinda get along now. And, like… I guess she can be funny sometimes. Like, funny in a way that would make you laugh. Not as much as me though, but still funny. I… I, uh… kinda miss making you laugh, honestly.
Hey, Reze! You're not gonna believe this, me and my roommates ran into a poison ivy devil today! HAHAHAHA, isn't that crazy? It was, like, six feet tall or something, and the moment it smacked Aki he started growing a nasty rash on his face, it was hilarious. But then I kind of had to get serious, and pull my chainsaws out. I cut it up easy enough, but the thing caught me once and now I have the stupid fucking itch on my chest and now Power is rubbing it in our faces about how she's the only one who didn't get hit. Ugh…
Reze, I'm getting real confused sometimes… like, whenever Makima calls me up to the office to give me a job, I see her and I like… my heart starts beating real fast. Especially because I think she kinda gave me a heart… but it's been feeling different, because whenever I see her, I start thinking about you too… because you, like, mean a lot to me… you took me to school, and I heard it's a total bore for the kids that go, but I gotta say, they must only say that because you don't go with them... because my school experience with you was pretty sick… and I guess that feels just as important as what Makima did. And I think about your laugh, too… I haven't made Makima laugh in a while…
Hey, listen… I guess it was kinda stupid for me to ask you to the coffee shop after you broke my neck… but in my defense! You… were gonna kiss me just before that, right? I mean, I got mixed signals, ok? And even then… I could just see you… you're not all bad. Sure, you kinda fucked up the city, and hurt a lot of people, but I kinda did that too... a while ago when I first got my powers, so I guess it's just kind of a thing we gotta deal with. I still wish you would've shown up, though… I… I got you flowers… like the one you put in the cup the first time I showed up at your place…
Reze, I'm like, really missing you, and it's kinda messing me up. I want to see you. And I'm sorry if I'm being pushy, I know it was kinda weird on the beach the last time we saw each other, but still… sometimes I end up walking to your coffee shop on accident. Your boss is getting kinda weirded out by it. And I'm starting to miss you so much it makes my chest, like… hurt. It pinches right where my cord is. My heart, I guess. It's really stupid because, like, the days are still just going on. I'm still eating like a king and killing devils almost daily, but there's a few nights where my chest pinches so hard I cry. I'm sorry to be a fucking downer right now. But I want to be honest with you. I feel like I can be honest with you. So honest that, like… fuck… I really, really like you, Reze… please come back. I want to go the country. I do. I'd drop all of it if you knock on my door right now… I mean, I guess it would be cool if my roommates could come, but as long as I'd be with you, my chest and my head woud feel… better. Lighter.
Tell me where you are, and I'll come… I'll turn into the best country mouse for you, promise.
I think I lov—What?! No, I don't want to hunt the winged rodents, Power! I'm busy! Tomorrow! I'm taking a shit! No don't fucking open the door!
