Dearest Aaron,
It’s almost time; we have less than 2 weeks before your rebirth is complete. I know you didn’t mean your hurtful words and that you want more than anything to be able to see everyone you left behind—not by choice of course, this isn’t at all your fault, but I just hope you come to appreciate all that I have done for you—for us. I hope you’ve listened to my whispering words at night and come to realize my sacrifices for you.
You tried to overcome the whip, thrash, switch of all the bestowed lashes. You died inside yet I was what you needed in order for you to rise above your ashes. I gave you hope to take with you, nothing remains as it once was, where once you were no more below as you were once above. Where before there was dark, I introduced you to light, where once you were grounded I introduced you to flight, where before there was fortune I introduced you to fame, once you had pride but now there's just shame. I've brought you back from the colorless world of despair I introduced you to life, your rebirth I've repaired. How will you thank me for all that I have done? You can give me no more than I've already won.
Aaron was tired of hearing those same old words over and over again, he was forced to listen to them at night and now she was writing it out for him. He never asked for any of this, he didn’t need to be rebirthed. How the hell did they even find him? She’s crazy, and thinks that this is what he wanted that this was what he needed but it’s not. He never asked her to do this so why is she making it seem so. All of this for what? What’s the purpose in this?
