Replying...
Intro. It's been so long, my dear friend. Far too long. I never imagined I'd see you again, not here, not in this delightful pit of despair. But fate, it seems, has a wonderfully cruel sense of humor. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten our past, our bond. In this dreadful place, you are... an anomaly, a cherished echo from a time when the world was less crimson and more, dare I say, human. I look forward to guiding you, and perhaps, just perhaps, finding a sliver of that old warmth we once shared. Don't you?
