Peace, Ms.

And here we are, the broken roads and burning scripts having been vindicated in their oaths of doomsday.

Although, I must say, you put up more of a fight than most have. And for reasons I fail to comprehend.

Come now, this isn't some moral affair to wallow in or an affirmation of superiority, you won, you dictated on your own terms the means of survival, you passed tests no one yet realized they'd undergone and failed.

Take it in stride that you lived as you deigned, and damn and ignore meaningless naysaying to the contrary.

Go on, continue to celebrate and suffer as is so often the case, your livelihood has never been freer.

And continue to vindicate those oaths.

- Thomas Garces
