Death Song

Dear Mom

Thanks for the lute! I received it just a few days ago. It plays very well, its even better than the one I lost. It's certainly made what little free time I have at least tolerable now.

I really wish I could get a chance to visit you guys though. I thought I would've been able to by now, but I suppose given the current situation, nobody's getting any kind of leave for quite some time.

I'm sure you've also heard all about how I'm supposed to be some kind of hero after surviving the failed attack on Nuro, but I don't see how. I mean I guess praise is better than being insulted, but at this point I feel like a fraud. Like I'm getting too much credit for something that was pure luck in the first place.

I dunno, I know you and the rest of the family are proud of me so that's all that really matters. I'm just trying to keep all this in perspective. You and Dad always told me not to get a big head about things. At least they raised my pay so I can send you guys more money. That's why I joined the first place after all.

This new rank gives me a few more responsibilities, but I can handle it. So far this assignment hasn't been too bad. Demons aren't a picnic to fight though and I'm dreading the day when they start attacking in a more organized manner.

Until then, I'll just be enjoying your gift when I can.

Give my love to the rest of the family.

Your son
