[the letter from Ashtaroth is written in a hand wildly different from anything written by her before- the writing is flowing and cursive, but still small and orderly, making it nice to look at and easy to read all at once]

It's a lot to think about. It took me a while, and even now, I still don't think I've fully- Well. It's surreal.

[crossed out. she doesn't want to ask that over letters- she wants to see his face when she asks that sort of thing]

Soon. I want to deal with this as soon as I can. Ah, but I've... I've been avoiding some things. I need to get some work done, first.

[justabard]

I expect world-swapping would trouble a lot of people. It's been an exercise in letting go, that's for certain.
