*sweatdrops* Uh, yeah. . .about that. . . It was an e-mail
with no name and no subject header. I didn't know for sure it was
fanmail until a few days ago, gomen.
Still no name, though? Pity. But (s)he's been waiting long
enough as it is. I'll do my best with what I have:
Dear sailorsaturn0986,
Taiki I have 2 questions for you
You held up my fanmail this long for only two questions?
*sweatdrops* Just get on with it, will you?
#1 why do you not want to talk about the stars?
I'm not adverse to talking about the stars in general. However, there
are Earth legends stating that stars are the spirits of the dead.
I can't listen to that, because I know it's really the power of living
people which makes stars. You see, there's a star out there for each
living person, and whenever anyone dies, their star dies as well.
I saw the stars of our whole race die when Galaxia attacked our world,
so the Earth notion of stars as the souls of the dead really hurts me.
I guess I'm sensitive about such things; reading Earth poems about the
stars, or just gazing up at the night sky, makes me sad as well, because
I think about my home and my people that were destroyed. I look up
and, rather than the stars of my friends and family, I see only black space.
It makes me feel very small and lonely.
Which leads into the next question. . .
#2 Do you ever feel lonely(like me?)
I feel lonely a lot, actually, especially since coming to Earth.
It's a lovely planet, and I've met some really nice people here, but it's
not my home. I miss my friends and family, the familiar environment
I grew up in, my natural gender. . . *laughs* That's not to
say I was never lonely back home; Senshi life is lonely no matter where
you are! But being away from my home, my people, and everything familiar
makes things that much harder.
From [email protected]
If you could put a name to that e-mail address, I'd like to know to whom
I've been talking.
I hope I answered your questions satisfactorily. Take care, and
let me know if you need anything else.
