My dear child

By the time you read this letter, I will have already embarked on a long journey. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. However, time waits for no one, and the realm of science has never been a paradise that lazy people can reach.

This time I went to my favorite place to bring you a dear glass lily. How about it? By the time this letter arrives, the petals might already be turning yellow. I was thinking that such a beautiful flower would be perfect for a sachet, wouldn't it?

Speaking of which, I'll send you the ore next time we meet. After all, I need to do some research first. I'm currently studying the special commonalities between the ore and Mora, because many weapons are enhanced with Mora, which I find quite amazing...

That's all for now. Scientific experiments wait for no one, my child...

Please give my regards to them, and also to my most brilliant student.

Norlinshi wrote more than 20 letters like this, in different places, at different times, in different weather, and with different flavors.

"That's about it, Your Majesty. I'll have to trouble you to deliver these letters to them for me. Please send one every month..."

"Okay, I understand. That's fine. So, how are you feeling? You haven't rested for 24 hours since you woke up."

"I haven't felt tired at all, just like I don't feel tired even if I don't eat. Apart from needing to rest for an excessively long time, it seems like I don't need anything... Is this normal? This is probably a topic that can be studied, right? Deity, would you like to study me?"

"No... I would not dissect a human being to obtain something so intangible. Of course I understand all this. You are important to me... my child. Can you understand my feelings?"

"You have indeed spoiled me a lot... Is it a little hard to understand if I say this? But you really are like the kind of parent who spoils their child too much. I have never been able to meet many of my expectations, but you have always been there for me, gently encouraging me and loving me. To be honest, I even want to call you Mother..."

Those usually calm eyes seemed to hold a fleeting emotion, which Norlinxi couldn't quite make out before it vanished in an instant.

"Mother? Can you tell me about your former home? I don't know much about it; you only gave me a few brief words before shutting up..."

"It's not worth talking about. I can't even tell if my past is real or fake. Everything I firmly believed was a lie. When I realized this, I fell into a state of despair and pain. There was no way out, no way to escape. That's the reason for everything..."

"Is it normal to pour all your love into your child? I don't think it's normal. I can only feel your pain and sorrow. You are trying your best to live, but this life is painful."

"...Living is inherently painful, but I don't want them to feel that way. I want them to feel that life is limitless, that happiness is beautiful, and that it is something to be understood and loved." Because I have experienced such sorrow and pain, I hope everyone is happy. Hope doesn't require any sacrifice, so let's continue...

Let's keep hoping even if it's useless...
