Zephyrion unknowingly tightened his grip on the letter, staring at the name written across the top for several seconds.
Lumi had never learned how to read or write. She'd been groomed purely to be a weapon since childhood, and her awakening had only made things worse. Now, after barely a month of learning at the academy, she had written him a letter.
Zephyrion could already imagine how excited she must have been, the innocent, bubbling joy of learning something as mundane as this, of finally being able to communicate with him through more than signs and gestures.
A smile crept onto his face as he opened the envelope. A sweet fragrance immediately wafted out, and the moment he unfolded the paper, he was greeted by an assortment of colors and glitter scattered across it. She had clearly gone all out.
Then his eyes fell on the first line, and he immediately barked a laugh.
Hi. It's me, Lumi.
Her name was literally written at the top of the paper. Who else would it have been?!
