“My dearest Fareeha,
Every mother hopes for a better life for her daughter. I was willing to fight and die for it. I taught you that there is nothing more important than protecting the ones you love. You grew up surrounded by heroes; they filled your head with stories of adventure and dreams of glory, and one day, you wanted to join them; but it was not the life i wanted for you. I never told you of the weight i carried from all those i killed, to keep everyone safe. But i always did what was asked of me, until one day, i could not take the life i needed to. I hesitated and everything changed. The people who i was supposed to protect, died; and i was left behind, gravely wounded. The world believed that i was dead. I thought perhaps that was for the best. I’ve lost so much in my life, i’ve said goodbye to so many friends, i’ve burried the ones closest to me; but for all i have lost, i know that there are still people who need to be protected. So i cannot stop fighting, not yet, not when that are people still waiting for me. One day, i hope you understand.
Your mother, Ana.”
