I miss the mountains. I miss Sister Bikini, I miss making tea on our little fire in the Outer Temple. I enjoyed helping acolytes with their training. It was especially wonderful when you came that day, Mystic Maya. I know you don't remember it, but Mystic Pearl was there too. We all had dinner together, and that day was very fun.

It was also the day I met you again, Feenie. I was so happy to see you.... It'd been so long. You hadn't changed a bit. You looked wonderful in that suit. And I could tell your felt out of place there in the temple. I'll stop there. I don't want to embarrass you.

I won't go into details of what happened after, but if you're curious, Mr. Edgeworth could probably answer your questions better than I ever could.

But... things happened so slowly at Hazakurain. In the city, everyone's in a rush. When I'd go there for supplies, I'd almost get swallowed up sometimes.

I feel like that's happening now. So much is happening all at once. More, worse things could happen very soon, and I don't know if I can stop it. Or if I should try.

I'm sorry, everyone. I thought, that as her sister, I could keep Dahlia from doing more harm. But I had no idea until it was too late. I'm truly glad Mystic Mia is getting better, and I wish nothing but the best to those that love her. I'll offer whatever prayers I can to that end.

Even after all this, I still love my sister. I suppose that makes me a horrible person. Even after what she's done to me, to our family, and to others. She's my only twin sister.

I feel I owe you a personal apology. Maybe when things settle down a bit we could meet. That is, if your sister and Mr. Armando don't mind. I'd understand if they want you to still stay away from me.

Private to Iris

I wish I could remember meeting you. Maybe when we get back I will go do some training at Hazakurain with you!

I'm... sorry about Mia and Mr. Armando. They're not really paying attention right now so we could meet up... but everyone's told me to stay here.

I'd love that.

No need to apologize, they're looking out for you. Staying home might be a good idea for a while.

It's hard to make a difference. Things go wrong, or people take it the wrong way. You can have the best intentions, but... sometimes it's just too much, and a person just can't handle it. Not by themselves.

And after that, it's hard to keep it from spiraling down. It takes a strong person, with some real support from the sidelines. The guilt won't leave, but if you're strong enough, and you're willing to keep trying, you can let it help you the next time.

Best laid plans, Miss. Best laid plans.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

I was stupid to think I could even try.

But thank you, sir.

[eba05.livejournal.com]

Miss, I hope I can be forgiven for the rudeness.

But the only stupid thing I can find about it is that statement.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

You don't understand my sister, sir. Nothing will stop her from doing what she wants to do. Absolutely nothing.

[eba05.livejournal.com]

You're right. I can't claim to know your sister. I don't know what she's done, or what you've been through. All I've got is what you wrote here.

But you claim to have tried your hardest. You put your faith in her. It doesn't matter what the outcome wasn't what you hoped. You put your efforts into helping someone who you cared about. Don't you ever hate yourself for trying. It's even harder to do when you know the person isn't the noble sort. Trying to believe in someone can be the toughest thing a person can do.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

I think I understand, sir. I'm sorry, not a lot is making sense right now. I need to editate and calm down, I think.

[eba05.livejournal.com]

That's all right, Ma'am. You rest an' get your thoughts together. Know that if y'ever need somethin', you just call for help, y'got that?

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

I'll remember that. Thank you for your help.

[bluecanopener.livejournal.com]

Someone else has stated my words before. Sometimes the best of intentions can go terribly wrong. One can always get through with strong conviction. Keep yourself out of trouble and then you may keep others out of trouble as well.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sir. I'll keep your words in mind.

[bluecanopener.livejournal.com]

If you are in need of something, I am sure there are many who would be glad to help.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

I know there are. I suppose I've been keeping a lot of things to myself.

[bluecanopener.livejournal.com]

That is the human nature, is it not? When one is afraid, one keeps it in, the better to appear strong and capable. Do not worry. There are many who would offer their support. I am one.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught your name, sir. My name is Iris.

[bluecanopener.livejournal.com]

I am Seymour Guado. It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Iris.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm just one of the Sisters at Hazakurain. I'm no Lady.

[bluecanopener.livejournal.com]

As you wish, of course, though I am curious to see if the Sisters you speak of are anything like the summoners back home.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

I can't do anything special. I just take care of the temple and the grounds.

[bluecanopener.livejournal.com]

Every job that must be done is special. I am sure you performed yours with strength that should be admired.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Thank you sir. Sister Bikini would be very happy to hear you say that.

[kidnappingkidz.livejournal.com]

Rrraaggh. I'm gon'a vomit, I am.

BLOODY 'ELL SHUT. UP.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I didn't mean to annoy anyone.

Private to Iris

[proofsburden.livejournal.com]

He... mentioned a trial.

Re: Private to Iris

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was the accused. But I don't think I can talk about that right now. I'm sorry.

[highbornorlow.livejournal.com]

I admit I know little of this situation, but I don't think you a horrible person for loving someone despite their wrongs. It takes more strength not to turn your back on someone entirely, perhaps.

[lilywhiteiris.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I think I'm starting to feel a bit better about all of this.
