Letters From The Enemy Inside

The Pointless Letter

Dear Starlight Glimmer,

I know that things have gotten worse over the last months, and they weren't very good from the start, but I know that you will pull through in the end.
It has always been just you against the world, and you have endured everything it threw at you, no matter how much it hurt.

You’re a brilliant pony with a wide variety of skills. You can do this! Just a little more effort and you will finally feel happy. It has to happen eventually.

Just remember that [wet stains make the rest of the text illegible]


Your only friend,
Starlight Glimmer.

PS: I almost forgot; Happy birthday Starlight!


Starlight, this is Spike, I found your letter in the trash.

You don’t have to be alone. You don’t need this revenge. You need friends to support you.

I sent a letter to the ponies of Our Town and they said that even if you lied to them, they don’t hold ill will towards you. Even if it was through evil means, you did give them a purpose to stay together and help each other. You made a lot of friendships possible thanks to that, so they are willing to forgive you and even welcome you back to the town. You can get that old life back with a new perspective that I promise you, it will make you feel happy.

Twilight also forgives you for everything, and will be the first to offer you help once you come out from hiding.

I know I’m asking a lot out of you, but I just want to help.

If you don’t feel ready for all of this, start with me. My offer to spend some time together away from everything still stands, and I won’t pressure you into anything you don’t want.

Your concerned friend,
Spike.

PS: Happy birthday. I left you a present in the kitchen, I hope you like it.
