10.01.09 Alive
Dear Professor,
It has been several months since my last letter to you, and I apologize for any fear I may have caused you through my literary absence.
I am almost certain you had feared the worst, thinking my shell had finally succumbed to the limits of this world. While there were, indeed, obstacles and affliction, I am somehow still alive, and surprisingly thankfully so. Amidst all this crisis, I am still alive, perhaps because of such trying times.
You may be wondering if this letter comes as a sign of my escape from the prison camp, which is not the case. I have, however, found deliverance in a different manner, and such abdication has given me a more empowering freedom that my emancipation has truly gone beyond the dark confines of this place.
My letter to you this time must be short, for now. I only wanted to send quick word to let you know that I am, in fact, still able to draw breath.
And I hope that soon we will be able to share the same air in the same space at the same time, very soon.
Take care, dear Professor.
-Lady Lauren Monaco
