Chapter 108

5.5 – 1 Therese’s Letter

To my dear sister,
Big sister Camilla, how are you faring? It is your one and only Therese. Because I never received a reply to all of the letters I sent you, I’m still sick with worry.
Do you still have your health? Are you living comfortably? Have you run into any troubles? Because I do not know what kind of things you’re going through, my sister, I can’t help but be anxious.
It may be unthinkable, but perhaps you’ve gotten too comfortable living in the depths of the swamp, and don’t want to talk to me anymore? Becoming the wife of a toad, not returning any of my letters and leaving behind your family… that’s far too cruel.
Ah, well, perhaps that’s not beyond you, dear sister. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that my sister would leave her family out in the cold, would it?
But, I am different from you, my sister.
Therefore, I shall properly warn you.
Soon, you really will face a deep crisis. And with your power alone, it is not something you can hope to overcome. No matter how much you selfishly scream like you always do, or rail against others in anger, no one will come to protect you. Father and mother are not on your side any longer. Everyone will become your enemy.
But, I am different. If you call me sister as well and take my hand, then I will be the only one that can help you.
Because that’s what family is for, right? Isn’t it true that you discover who your real family are when times are tough?
Miss Liselotte and I are very close, so I am in a position to help you, dear sister.
In the past, you once refused to take my hand.
But that same hand is the only thing you can rely on now, sister.
Please make sure to remember that in the times to come.
From your cute little sister, Therese.
