sometimes you only get one chance - Zelda Darrow - April 16, 2020



J. Alfred Darrow,
March 20th
How has your recovery been so far? I hope you're taking it easy; don't put any unnecessary stress on your lungs.

I'm sorry for everything the thing with your brother; I should have left when he arrived instead of making things awkward.  Please extend my apologies.

I continue to do research on the Voyager. I will let you know as soon as something develops.

Z,

Don't worry, I'm not doing anything strenuous. I'm not doing much of anything at all, really.

I don't think it was your fault that things were awkward, and my brother certainly doesn't want your apology so much as mine — but I'll pass it along all the same the next time I see him.

I do hope you'll keep me in the loop about the Voyager, particularly as I won't be able to help any more. I'm worried about her. (More than I'm worried about myself; I feel fine, and anyway, if you figure out how to de-curse the Voyager then you'll figure out how to de-curse me, too... or at least, that's the impression that you've given me).

He seemed a little stiff, so I thought that my apologies couldn't hurt.

I'm going to try to enlist help on dealing with her - I have ideas, but it's complicated magic, and less 'de-cursing' than flipping things so that the curse is not actively hostile. If it works on the boat, I think it can work on you, too - but I would rather test on the Voyager than on your body, for obvious reasons.

Z,

You don't think you'll be able to get rid of it entirely? Not actively hostile is a good start, of course, so I don't mean to belittle your efforts, only — this is the first time anyone has talked about the curse as though it might not go away, and it's — quite an adjustment in how I think about the future, as you can probably imagine. What does that mean for me, practically speaking? If I

Well, at any rate, I wish you the best of luck with whatever new ventures you're exploring at this stage. I only wish I were able to offer any help. If you need anything at all please don't hesitate to ask — I'll just be in my flat for the foreseeable future so you certainly know where to find me.

Regarding our last conversation... I realize there's quite a lot left unsaid and I wonder if you would I'm sorry we were interrupted that way, but I'm willing to take all the blame for having had the conversation in such an inopportune time and place to begin with. I didn't know whether there would be a better one but that's a poor excuse, I think.

If you wanted to talk about —

Really what I'm trying to say, I think, is that I know I shouldn't have kissed you when I thought I was dying, but I did, and right now that's our last kiss — probably forever, since I've no business kissing you anymore (not that I ever really did, technically), and particularly while this whole situation with the curse remains unresolved, and so — well, in essence — I suppose I would just prefer that our last kiss is a proper one, one where I can breath and...

Anyway. You don't have to, but if you want to come over some time to talk through things and say proper goodbyes, I would like that.

Alfred

I'll let you know, but I don't even know what I need yet. But I'm not giving up on the Voyager, and neither should you.

I want to see you. I shouldn't I can come by sometime. When works for you? I'm usually in London anyways, so...

Z,

I'm literally at home doing nothing but breathing. Any time works for me.

My flatmate does have regular working hours, though. If you want to come when he's away — he's not one to spread rumors, I don't think, but just to be careful. [some approximation of Asha's schedule]
