[Much later, with that special Fade filter that should haunt everyone's dreams.]

I haven't given up, kadan. I'm still trying to reach you, but this damned place isn't making it easy. Paths keep disappearing, separating me or others. Demons are everywhere. And there's a woman with your eyes and curls, beckoning and trying to lure me away from the others. I know what she is, I know she's not you. I know what will happen if I follow her. I won't, but it still hurts, seeing what I can't have--you.

I love you, Araceli. I'm not sure when I'll get home, but I won't stop searching.
