Interim Two
Shai PeriHawk

I hear you made quite an impression in Chicago, but I missed you again.  I
nearly got my head lopped off by a big blond guy and another guy in a red
costume.  They were rather protective of you.  Then I explained who I was,
showed them pictures of us, and they helped me out.

I stopped by your parents place when I went through Louisville.  They
haven't heard from you either.  They're starting to wonder if they were
wrong, and you *did* take off to Mexico or something.

What was I supposed to say?

Your sister followed me out of the house when I left.  She was crying.  She
told me that she *knew* you wouldn't abandon your family like that.  They
meant more to you than your own life.

I knew that, we talked about it before.  And I feel the same.

I hugged her, she needed it.  Even her own parents were doubting her
beliefs.  I told her to be strong.  I told her you needed her.

I didn't tell her that you don't even remember her.

She looks so much like you, it hurts.
