With a laugh, Heiko fell into his arms. "With my charms? I am afraid you are doomed to love me more over time, not less."

"Confident, aren't you?"

"No, Gen-chan," she said, "I'm not, not at all. Love is a woman's weakness, not her strength. And no matter how beautiful she is, her time of fullest flowering is brief. I don't expect you to love me forever. But please, if you can, please be kind."

If only they were farmers or shopkeepers or fisherfolk, they could give life to their feelings freely, without concern for hidden consequences.

"You are overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment," she said. "I will not remember anything you say to me today."

"You will always remember," he said, "and so will I. It's not the moment that overwhelms me. It's you, Heiko, you alone."

"It is unnecessary to say sweet words to me," she said. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but a soft smile was on her lips, and her breathing remained calm. "I love you. I have loved you from the moment I met you. I will love you with my life's last breath. You don't have to love me in return."

2022-01-10 21:10:40 Dear sibling/breadwinner/frontliner,

You think no one loves you. But when you're away, I felt like I am not the youngest, thus the favorite of the family. Mama keeps thinking of you. Papa silently does, too. What about me? Do you think I don't think of you? Have you forgotten the times we play at the backyard, laughing our lungs out at a cartoon movie, and fetching each other before dark? If you do think you're unloved, then you are unfair. Just because everyone is busy, that we not always call, means we've forgotten you. Hey, Mom knows you're ill before you do. Many times the moon saw me wake up at the dead of night, tears welling, for having a bad dream about you. Then wishing ... I'd rather bear that illness you have than seeing you suffer. Please take care of yourself. You don't know how much we love you, bro/sis.
