Erika's Links
My dad... taught me everything. Everything I would ever need. But he died long before the accident. The doctor taught me... everything else.
"Priceless. She is priceless. I want her to say that a thousand times. A thousand times so she never forgets. Si no lo haces, lo haré. I can't — I won't let you think how I do. You're young. You can still make good. Eres mi mundo, niña, y estaría oscuro sin ti."
It's nice to have my sister back. Stay out of trouble, would ya?
Oooo, it's good to be back. I /am/ the trouble, Sis!
You've become a second dad to me, Aear. I needed that. I appreciate you being an honest friend to me when I needed it the most and looking out in my best interest. But I am a big girl, now. You've got to look out for you, too. Got that?
Erika, you never fear to speak your mind, where others never have the courage. God knows who I'd be if I hadn't met you when and where I did. I know you already know, because I repeat it like a parrot, but I'm always here if you need me.
My right hand that loves to explode. I don't know where I'd be without you and your bullheaded demolitionist expertise, Jest. You might wanna look into contacts, though, grandma.
Yeehaw! I blow up whatever ya need blowin' up, Dragon -- but I'm always gonna be older than you, hun, hahaha!
I never knew I needed a brother until I got one. I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. You're irreplaceable, and the world wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for everything. And, I love you, too, bro.
All right, what I'm gonna say is gonna sound weird and creepy, and I know it is, so sorry in advance, but you know me at this point, so I'm pretty sure you expect this kind of thing by now (I hope). Now that disclaimer is out of the way -- Erika, you're literally my platonic soulmate. We can talk about anything. Legitimately anything! You /get/ me, /all/ of me, and I never thought anyone truly would. I love you, sis, I really do, and I am so stupidly ridiculously thankful you pointed that gun in my face. I will always be there for you; I know you'd do the same. Thank you.
I'm so proud of you. I know Nikolai says that all the time, too. But it's the truth.
Thank you for your patience, and understanding. I don't have to speak for you to hear, which is a great convenience. Maybe we can go out for a bite to eat soon?
I want to see your paintings in an exhibit one day. If you ever hold a showing or a gallery, send me a note, okay? I'll be first in line.
I aspire for the balance you show. Thank you for encouraging us. I doubt I would've bothered to carry on without it.
Strength and wisdom beyond your years encapsulate you. You've always protected your covenants, and you act, you finish, you conquer. There is finality in your movements and decisions. You survive. You will always survive. Use it for the right and strive for balance.
Why should I feel for a ghost I don't know?
Ghosts. That's all we are, isn't it.
