Prologue Part 2: Riede

EM,
YOUR LETTER WAS A SHOCK TO ME AFTER ALL THESE YEARS...

I SUPPOSE I CAN'T BLAME YOU FOR NOT EVER CONTACTING ME. I NEVER CALLED YOU EITHER...

I WASN'T SURE YOU WERE EVEN INTERESTED IN ME ANYMORE, THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN TO ANYTHING I HAD TO SAY...

I ADMIT IT. I WAS SCARED...

AND WITH THE WAY THINGS ENDED, HOW COULD I BE ANYTHING ELSE? WITH NEITHER OF US READY TO ADMIT DEFEAT, NEITHER OF US COULD EVER WIN...

I WAS YOUNG AND FOOLISH...

AND I'M SORRY.
