The Nightmares Come While I'm Awake

We are all coming. I’m so happy you asked my little one to be one of your flower girls. She is such a good girl and wants to be just like you. I know that she will be. We all will be.

I have been to all of your shrines, before coming here. I left notes at each. From here, I will go to see you in person. There is so much I want to know, so much that you can tell me. Please, give me a sign, any sign. It is killing me to have to wait, to struggle so. At the end, you will make it worth it.

We found him, just like you told us we would. He was tossed into the waters and pelted with stones until he sank, as you have asked.

Thank you for making it so that my baby will never have to see a winter.
