For some time, I have wondered what it is I continue to wake for. The answer has always been that I wake for my wife. But that bond is severed, and it did not happen in tears, but to the joyous tones of laughter. I am pleased to say that I now have no regrets and can let myself slip into the abyss.

It is often said that a coward dies many deaths before his time is through, and I have heard nothing more truly spoken. Allow this to be the first of many, for if I've learned anything about myself, it is that I am indeed a coward and I will be back only to die again.

To the citizens of Sapience, thank you for the existence you have provided me, all your roles have made up the mosaic of my life, whether they were roles of antagonism or otherwise.

Godspeed.
