Rei,

I don’t really know how else to start this letter off other than to say… I miss you. And I’m so sorry. I don’t know when you’ll get to read this but I'm so fucking worried about you and I’m at the point where I don't even care if you'd probably tease me for admitting something like that. Right now, there’s nothing more that I want than to see you again so please pull through. Please, get better and take all the time you need to heal.

I really do miss you. I miss seeing you moping around when it’s hot outside. I miss getting nagged by you to come to practice, I miss all the weird old man stuff you like to say. I even miss the way you’d get all quiet and stare at me. I miss it all.

I know when you wake up, things won't be the same anymore, but I want you to know that, no matter what, I don’t think any less of you. You can come back from this. Just remember that you won't have to go through this alone. I'm sorry I didn't take you seriously. I’m sorry I didn’t realize how much you were hurting until it was too late. I hope I can make up for it when you come back.

P.S. I read the letter you sent to me and you were right. I do believe in you. I believe you'll wake up and we'll both be able to do the duo thing. Together.
