I've tried everything…over and over again. I've placed your belongings and ashes just so upon the altar (even your favourite necklace, I've let no one else touch it). I've thought of only our happiest moments together while reciting the incantation, flawlessly. How is it possible that I can raise an entire civilization and yet the one being who means more than anything remains lost to me? Anekka, where are you? Why do you not answer when I summon? Vicious and terrible spirits arrive in your place. Do you send them to punish me? Please talk to me. I would give anything just to see you again…anything. I miss you. I love you.
