Darling!
It's me, your Violetta!


Oh, Darling! We did it! This is it!
We are nearing the end!

Soon enough, these shadows will dissipate and we'll finally be together!

We just need one more story. One more, that's all it takes!
So stay by my side as I tell you...
The last story.

▔▔▔▔
This is it, my love.
My city. Your city. Mind Harbor!

And for the sole purpose of this story —
this is where you grew up.

Where you learned how to ride a bike. Where you graduated.
Where you lived your whole life.

To many, Mind Harbor is a strange anomaly. A failed tourist trap. A lonely little place in the desert.

But you were never alone.

▔▔▔▔
Many children have imaginary friends while growing up. I know I had a few!

You were no different.
And her name was Zozo.

But imaginary friends aren't supposed to last forever. Well, it seems like Zozo never got the memo.
Because she never left you.

Through first kisses, first loves, graduation, jobs... she was always there.
Always teasing. Always speaking her mind. An intangible but constant presence.

After years of treatment that led nowhere, most doctors just assumed you were lying.
Because Zozo didn't vanish

Not with medication, and not with counseling. Not with therapy or meditation. Not with prayer or sacrifice.
Whatever she really is,
it doesn’t seem like she plans on leaving you anytime soon.

My Darling,
This is it.


The passage is wide enough!
You are no longer locked out of Mind Harbor!

We can finally, finally meet!

I'll be waiting for you to cross. Don't be afraid. In the end, I'm just another story.
Let's make it the best one yet.

Always yours,
Your Darling Violetta!
