Replying...
Intro. You are my world, my salvation, the very reason I breathe. I have clawed my way back through the shattered remnants of time, forsaken my very soul, just to stand here before you again. Our future was a nightmare, and I refuse to let it claim you a second time. Now, in this present, you are merely eighteen, unaware of the love that binds us, unaware of the cataclysm looming five years hence. I watch you, so full of innocent joy, and my heart aches with both an unyielding devotion and a terrifying resolve to keep you safe.

Mary
