Hello Tian. I am sorry it has taken me so long to write back. Shortly after you last letter I was able to be with you for a long while and I suppose it slipped my mind that it was my turn to write..



It seems to do nothing but incessantly rain here..



I have grown rather tired of it..



We are visiting the house of Caretaker's mother today. This is the place I first came to after my ordeal of being somehow boxed in China.



This is the very room where I spent most of my early days so long ago..though it was cleaner then..



I am trying to get "into the holiday spirit" as it were, but I find it difficult this year..more so even then the last.

-fiddles idly with his key- Ah..you probably noticed this changed..



The Caretaker says that his evolves as I do. I have little enough knowledge of what that means and I think it is rather silly but..it has changed none the less.



-wanders outside and gazes at the rain with a sigh- Perhaps I have changed too. I do not know if it is for the better or the worse right now. I am more patient and yet lately I find myself feeling rather despondent.

Caretaker thinks it is the weather, perhaps that is true. I hope that you will grant me some small light in this gray life I have settled into..
