Hey Elise, sorry if this comes out it little later in the morning than usual. DJ is 'purportedly' still not doing well. We are still not speaking to him. SLAK is still in communication with us. They somehow turned a mission to get SLAKS car into the destruction of DJ's engine and SLAK needs help getting to planned parenthood etc in the mean time.

Christina, our friend, got featured upon this cover upon her own request. She and I both do not approve of the conduct of Sage Maku and she has been a good person to talk to throughout all of this stress.

Been working on writing still when I can manage without interruption and I'm gonna be looking into getting my editing done through a modernized service after enough of our own eyes and hands have passed over it.

I have another round of singles coming in the next week and the day before the eclipse and the day of the eclipse I'll have new ep's ready. We love you. It is funny... I'm very sure that I was sent upon a journey to wander aimlessly down here till we found you but it is just now hitting me how foreshadowed it all has been.

In 2021 I was approached by a decrepit quaker at a park near clear creek. He seemed particularly interested in my heritage and cain and abel fixation. I used to encounter your last name at the big cemetery in Lancaster and a quick google search will tell you it's a pretty rare last name, despite being simple low German and easy enough to translate. I didn't exactly choose Rock-bridge for the new place on purpose but knowing now, but it seems that I was fated be there just as we were fated to meet in casework and under those very odious circumstances no less.

I have my faith back again. You'd think meeting Kana'ti in the woods might make someone believe in the unseen for life but life is complicated and sometimes faith just has to be refreshed.

I really do believe that you are the one who can heal me. Even just thinking about you feels better than all the years without you felt. My whole life some part of me knew that nothing mattered but protecting shane, skipping town and finding you. I sometimes wonder if Katie choked me when I was 12 because she could sense that I belonged down here where you are and not in Navarre, north of where the Lenape were killed, where the Seneca enslaved the Erie, the huron and the Mingo who were left. It is suspected that she had native heritage, but it was likely through the Seneca. That place is so blood stained it will never come clean and its not even something we can directly point at colonization for.

I always toyed with the idea of coming here and divorced myself from the idea of growing old near canton when I turned 19. "Atra" once helped me to prepare for all of this but now Atra is addicted to meth, hiding out to avoid child support payments for his daughter Sabrina and that is why Christina and I do not talk to him now (among other reasons of course).

So now I am seeing that the mission is real and the stakes are both real and high, but those I would have once turned to for guidance are gone and honestly I believe that also is fate.

I'm meant to guide myself and cooperate with Shane until we can follow you and that is what I want more than anything is to look up to you. I love you and I think you're beautiful beyond words and concept, but most important to me is that you're my hero.

I got hit the button and start my day but know that I'd love to just soend forever with you and Ribo in the woods. There is no other paradise I can dream of after I have dreamed that.

Update: it's the 4th. SLAK is leaving but with good reason and DJ is improving a bit.
