'My dearest Chaos,

I have so many things to tell you, and not enough words to say them with. I guess I will start simple. I am sorry that I could not protect you then; I am sorry I can't protect you now. I had a job to do, for you and for Eclipse and for mom, but I failed. I'm sorry I was not better to you. You have only ever deserved the best of the world, Chaos, and I'm sorry that I ever told you otherwise.

The other day, I was taking a walk outside. On the path I saw a lovely flower. It reminded me of you. Bright and blooming. So lively that it lit up the entire pathway beneath my feet. That is how I feel when you walk into a room. Everything becomes brighter just by your prescence, Chaos. You are a flower; but not in a fragile, delicate way. You are one that people gawk at, that people drag others over to look at, that bring a pop of color to an otherwise dull room.

I disagreed with you. I argued with you. I was hurt plenty of times over by you, and I am sure you have felt the same. But I love you. I always have, and I always will. You're my sister, my best friend. I could not be more grateful for you if I tried.

Your brother,

Night'

'Dear Auntie,

I am sorry. I am so, so sorry. I did not mean it. I'm so sorry. I never meant what I said. I was just angry and hurt and upset. I never meant to hurt you. Please believe me. I love you. I love all of you. I just cannot bear the thought of you guys dead. They follow me everywhere. They took my home, my family, my life. I hate bringing them onto you guys. I thought it would be better if I stayed away. I thought that I would be better if I stayed away.

I am so sorry.

Night'
