[misterbrief]

[It's been a few days since Father's Day. And he got a really nice surprise from his daughter that he never thought possible. Bulla training and honing her skills and power, it really meant something to him; so he's flipping his journal open now since Luceti played a large part of it. He's not even angry this time.]

It's come to my attention that a good number of you had a hand in the gift I received over the weekend. I will say I'm impressed- the lot of you have done the impossible with my daughter Bulla and it most certainly paid off. So for that...[His voice trails off, since saying these sorts of things isn't exactly natural to him.] For that I am grateful. I know a good portion of the time we are safe inside this barrier, but you must understand that I worry for her safety regardless.

So I suppose this is the part where I ask something else not so specific. The gift I received was for your Earthling holiday Father's Day. I've never put much stock in such things, but this last weekend certainly has changed my mind about it a little. Is this something you also observe in your own worlds? And if so, what is it that you've done or would do that you would consider worthy of your father?

[This is too important to let go, but Ami needs a moment to decide how to approach it. She needs a second moment to realize he's saying enemies became friends. That's a reassuring thought, and she has something similar.]

When I met my friends, I didn't know if we could really become friends after all. I'm glad that we did, though. And some of our enemies back then have become our comrades again, too.

[That was an interesting way for her to put it.]

Your enemies huh? Turned into comrades? Well, that explains something to me. [Why would she call them that, she's just a doctor right? Ami he is giving you the eye, because this isn't the first time she's made a reference to fighting.] Anyway, that's fine and all that you've got some. I certainly could get long without.

[She doesn't say much to follow those ideas, but she very much follows the concept of friendship.]

I don't think anyone really wants to be without friends. [It's a very, very lonely way to be. Even if you tell yourself you're strong enough and used to it, even if you are strong and used to it.]

I disagree. It's only when you let yourself believe you want them do you become hooked onto the idea of having them.

I spent a lot of time trying to convince myself otherwise. But all that time, I really wanted to meet the people that would be my friends.

[Believe it, she knows all the rationalizations about why it's fine without them, why she doesn't need them and it's really alright, why people shouldn't always be trusted.

But in the end, she had to find some of that faith, and she had to try, and she had to find her precious people.]
