[Voice post - locked to Nill; hackable]
[There's the sound of an awkward cough and then Alle's voice.]
Dear Nill,
... That almost sounds wrong to say at the beginning of this, doesn't it. Like a letter. But I guess this is a letter, in a way. [A nervous laugh] I... really don't know what to say. But I feel like I owe you an explanation for a lot of things.
First of all... you should probably know that by the time you listen to this, I probably won't be here anymore. Please don't cry though - that's okay. I've been expecting it for a while now, and I don't regret anything.
Before I go, though, I want to tell you something. I'd hate it if you didn't know why I'm posting this, and I might have been afraid of telling you before, but... I guess it doesn't really matter now, does it?
[Sigh] The truth is... I'm not a student, Nill. Do you remember that party on the beach in September? We talked and I told you about a group in my world that was trying to get rid of wars. The truth is... I'm a part of that group. I was working to eradicate war for good on my world, because I've seen what it can do. [A small, bitter laugh] I guess that's backfired on us now, hasn't it?
That's something else I need to tell you about. I've wanted to tell you this since I met you, as a matter of fact, but so much about me had to stay secret that I couldn't. We've got more in common than I let you know. [Another nervous laugh] You see... I was an experiment too, when I was a kid, in a place trying to create the "perfect soldiers". And just like with you, it didn't work completely. It's... a little strange to say, but I just thought that you of all the people I've met deserved to know that.
[Five second pause of the microphone humming slightly]
Nill? Can I ask you a favour? ... I know it's unfair of me to ask you something like this, but... I want the rest of my friends to know. It isn't fair for them. I - you don't have to tell them yourself but even if you just showed them some of this post, that would be enough.
... I haven't got much time left, but I want to say one more thing. I lied when I said that I had no regrets. Actually, I have one. It's... a confession of sorts, I guess. You see, after that party, when I couldn't use sign language with you... I wanted to know how... [Trails off into a very small chuckle] It's silly, isn't it? I don't even know what I was thinking. Maybe I wanted to surprise you.
... It was a pleasure knowing you, Nill. Thank you for being my friend. And... if you're someone else I knew, and you're listening to this... thank you, as well. It really meant a lot to me. All of you.
