Dear Mare,
By now, you know I secured only one ticket. Before you blame yourself, remember that I’m still your commanding officer. For once, follow instructions and board the ship.
I never liked spaceships. The vibrations tickle my nose, and all that humming is no way to live. I’ll watch the sun collapse from the hill where we used to sneak away.
When we meet again, I’ll tell you how beautiful it was.
Forever yours,
Germán
During the last sweep, the team found the letter on the dock beside the SS Tristitia after failing to locate passenger Mare Ortega.
