I don't have an essay for you this time, dearest Manba, just five words: I love you so much. I didn't realize I was hyperventilating earlier until I became a bit light-headed. I love how you have indeed cast off your cape, but also kept it with the hood off for your internal affairs. Truly the best I could have possibly dreamed of. Truly Kunihiro's first masterpiece.

Actually I lied, I kind of do have an essay again (though those five words are the thesis). You have been with me throughout most of the two hardest years of my life so far, when I questioned my self worth and never thought I could be enough. When I thought my fate would be sealed as a useless nobody, never able to meet the expectations of family, peers, or myself.

And I promised myself, that if you deserve (which I have never doubted that you absolutely do) confidence in your own abilities, support from everyone around you, and the strength to ignore the opinions of others, then so do I.

I have come a long way (though not as long of a way as I'd like) in recent months, and as I'm ecstatic to see, so have you, and a much longer way than I. You have achieved far more than I wanted (for you to come home safely), more than I expected (for you to realize that the Yamanba slayer is actually you), and accomplished what I only dared to dream (for you to come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, at all, what other people think). As long as we choose to recognize our own worth, and do our best, that's enough.

Thank you. I'm so proud of you, and hope that I can make you proud too.
