The Letters Left in the Wastepaper Basket

To my dearest sister,

It has been some time, hasn’t it sister? It’s Therese. Your cute little sister, Therese.

Are you keeping well? It has already been three months since then. You’re still the talk of the town back in the capital.

I wonder just how that feels? I’m sure it must feel nice. Because it really feels like everything has been turned on its head after what happened before, hasn’t it?

From an infamous villainess to the fated heroine who overcame her tragic circumstances! I’m sure that you’re still smiling about it even now. I wonder if you’re having a fun time out in the swamps. Are you still getting along with that ugly toad of a man? You were so reluctant to marry him, but now that he doesn’t have too repulsive of a face you fell right into his arms. As expected of my dear sister, you can forget about the past so easily. And I’m sure you’ll soon forget all about me as well.

To my dearest sister,

Big sister, it’s me. Therese. Do you still remember me?

No, I’m sure that I’m not someone worth remembering in your eyes, sister.

Your true sister, I’m sure you don’t even recall I exist. That’s how you always carry on, isn’t it sister? You always chose other people over your own family. Not even knowing just how heartless you can be, you’ll carry on with a happy face like there’s nothing wrong at all.

I’m sure you won’t even remember this letter after reading it.

Do you know just what has happened to the Storm and Neumann families?

Now that you’re gone, sister

Please spare a thought for us

My dear sister…

What are you doing now?

How are you doing?

Do you still remember me?

Sister

Sister, back then, why did you…

Why did this happen?

Why didn’t you stay by my side?

How can I go on living by myself?

Big sister, I don’t know what to do anymore

Sister…

My beloved sister…

Please, help me.
