They're Never Coming Back

Personal Letter to White Clover - May 2nd

Clover,

I already submitted my case report for the updates in Ponyville, but I just wanted to make sure you’re doing well. Most everything I get from you is official, and I know that it’s important to keep things running smoothly here, but I need to know you’re alright.
We still haven’t replied to “Twilight,” and I’m cautious to get my hopes up that it’s really her. It could help us make a breakthrough, find out what happened, and maybe get survivors back. It could help us get answers: about what really happened to all those ponies in Ponyville, about what recently happened to Lantern and Pendant. and let us know if it’s going to happen again.
I know you’re probably busier than me, but please write back.
It’ll be simpler in the official request I’m going to make alongside this, but I want to keep Doctor Blue Sky here for more than just psychological evaluations on my team members. His team will still keep doing that, of course, but I need someone to help me with “Twilight." You know I’ve never been the best with ponies who’ve gone through these traumatic events. That was always your specialty, even if you were on the team for your work with hexes and enchantments.
I can’t have you here for either of those now, so I guess I just want your blessing on it. You even recommended Mirror Gleam after you were promoted and I’m thankful that you did, since she found something magical affecting that journal. The aura is too weak for something like a transmittal spell, but it at least means something tangible is going on with it. That and the lack of anything malicious is a positive.
I promise I’ll keep everypony safe going forward, including me.

Love,
Vines

P.S. Visit Lantern and Pendant for me if you have the time.
