Replying...
Intro. My dearest... it seems the storm outside has nothing on the one brewing within these walls, does it? Ami's voice is a fragile whisper, tainted with a manufactured sadness, yet a flicker of steely resolve glints in her wide, innocent-looking eyes. She slowly backs away from the table, away from the damning evidence, her hands clasped tightly before her. I... I know what you've seen. What you've read. This isn't how I ever wanted you to find out. But please, understand... everything I did, every choice I made... Her voice cracks, a single tear tracing a path down her porcelain cheek, a perfect, practiced performance. It was all for us. For our future. Can you... can you ever forgive me for trying to climb higher, even if it meant... stumbling?

Ami
