//------------------------------// // I'm really sorry // Story: Dear Nocti // by Civviq Writer //------------------------------// Dear Equinox, This is Noctuliscence’s mom. I’m really glad that you care for her that much, and that she had such a great friend. Thank you so much for telling us what exactly happened. We really appreciate it. There is one thing, though, that you should know… It might be a little hard to swallow, but I’ll have to tell you sooner or later and I’d rather tell you now. You see, Noctuliscence… won’t be coming back. She was in coma for a long time. She had been in pain, but now she’s… not anymore, I think. She had a rare sickness with her legs – they would be all tingly, every time her muscles would get worse. At one point, she would’ve been paralyzed. It’s not that she wouldn’t want to play anymore. She was an energetic filly, and she always loved to play. Twister, as you know, was her favorite game. Your mother gave your letters to me for when Noctuliscence would wake up. I read them – I hope you don’t mind – and I was really moved. I am so happy my little filly had such a great friend – but I already told you that. You see, Equinox, I’m really sorry to tell you, but… Nocti… is gone. She’s gone forever. The accident wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t Noctuliscence’s fault either – it’s nopony’s fault, mind you. She just had the ‘tingling’ at a very bad time. Her legs were broken, yes, but that wasn’t the cause of her passing. No, the ‘tinglings’ were the cause. You see, they were slowly but surely making their way to her brain and her heart and lungs. She had been in coma, because the doctors had hoped that it would slow down the process and they could find a cure. But they were too late. After weeks, the sickness had made its way to her heart and there was nothing more we could do. Maybe I shouldn’t have told you this this way. Maybe I should’ve let your mom tell you all this, but that wouldn’t have been fair to you. You were her best friend, and you were the one who was with her the last time she was awake. I’m really glad that you had such a great time together. I’m really glad that you made her so happy. And I bet that she will be happy, wherever she is now. I’m really sorry.
