Day 404

I hope this letter finds you in good health, and I’m sorry for responding so late to yours. The jacket looks great and it gladdens me to see that you’re doing well in your new home. I’ll treasure the pictures always. I won’t tell her, but I’m also happy you got to meet Crane.

I’m doing all right, I think, and I’m not saying this just to reassure you. Things are as usual here. I think I am making more friends? Not that this is unusual, but it still feels strange to say something like that.

Speaking of which, that guy — I don’t know if you’ve been able to follow the show, but your former colleague is back with zero memories. And I don’t know how to say that I find the guai lan asshole is actually pretty okay as he is right now? Though I will concede that my definition of ‘okay’ here is probably pretty lax compared to some people’s.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I don’t think he’s kind of annoying occasionally, given he’s taken to trying to get reactions out of me, and I don't disbelieve in his capacity to stab a person. It’s just … I find myself thinking that he probably wouldn’t be too out of place in Wu-Jian. If nothing else, his current attitude feels familiar enough to me. Like how I’ve had sisters and aunties, he reminds me of some of the brothers and uncles I’ve met before. Down to thinking I’m amusing, I suppose. Which is maybe one of the more bizarre thoughts I’ve had here.

I have no idea how I should feel about all this. It’s just too damn weird and I thought I ought to share because at least it’s probably a little funny to read about, I imagine.

Safe journeys to you, and I hope to see you again some day.

Your younger brother,
[ Spring Born Wind ]
