"I have so many things to tell you, and I don't know where to start. I've never liked being emotional, as I thought that it depicted weakness.

Cylix took another pause from writing, gazing at the stars above. "Thank you for granting me that privilege."

He further continued writing his thoughts in the silence of the night.
