Unsent Letter

*The ancient paper the letter was written on was already thin as a butterfly's wings, ready to crumble into dust at the slightest touch.* Betty: I got Larry to make a wolf mane knee pad. Do remember to go to his house and get it off him. He hurt his leg and can't go to the front lines anymore. Remember to take some gifts with you when you go, and remember to say thank you to him! Don't act like we have no manners in this family. I won't be able to come back for a long time. I was checking the fortifications in the trenches a few days ago and got injured. It's not a big deal, so don't tell Mom just yet. I don't want her to overthink things. I told her that I've been in the Command Center all this time. I was so busy for the past while, and only got around to writing to you now I'm resting around the Command Center. Annie talked to me about how you've been lately. You are really doing so well. You stayed home to look after Mom and are managing your studies at the same time. That really is a lot of responsibility. As your older sister, I'm so sorry that I can't look after you when you need it most. I've seen so much death out here, so for the past while I've been thinking... well, it's not impossible that I might pass away myself. If that does happen, then our family is in your hands. Look after Mom and yourself. I left some money in the house with my savings from my previous job. I hid it in your wardrobe in THAT spot — You know what I'm talking about. Don't be too hard on yourself if you want to buy something. I trust that you won't waste the money. Although I feel like I don't need to nag you again, but Betty, please don't get upset with Mom. She is just that kind of person, right? Just give in to her a little. Also, there's something I never told you, haha. You see, I always felt you are my cutest and loveliest little sister, forever and ever. Your most beautiful and charming older sister Lana
