To Everyone:

My name is Aya Brea. I don't know many of you, and I don't expect many of you to know me. I can't imagine that I've made that great of an impression on some of those of you who do, but I should say this.

That person that many of you saw me as was not me. I am not the commander of an army - I don't even consider myself to be that much of a leader. Back home I was a special agent of the FBI just trying to survive, and here I suppose I'm finding myself trying to do the same thing. I have family and friends back home that I care about deeply, and would do anything to try and protect them. This is all I want. I'm sure some of you may feel the same way about the lives they've left behind.

It is easy for people to trust their friends after what happened, but I understand that not many of you know me well enough to say that I can expect the same. After all, I just got here. On one hand it's only been a few weeks since I arrived, and on the other it sometimes feels that I've lived those two years, but again, that is not me. That is not who I will choose to become.

Whether you believe me or not is up to you.

Regards,

Dear Aya,

Of course I believe you! What we saw was just a story, after all. It didn't really happen. People's destinies can change very quickly, so nothing's set in stone just yet.

You got to lead an army? I'm jealous, all I got to do was die. :(

Sincerely,
Rialynn K.

Aya,

You fought bravely for what you believed in. I don't feel that I can hold that against you, especially since we've never actually met one another. I'm taking what we saw as a challenge to become stronger and do better for this world and its people than we did in that vision.

Becoming suspicious of each other does us no good - that will accomplish nothing more than splintering ourselves in the same way. I hope that we can all work together to build the bonds of trust that will prevent such a future from happening. If you would like, I'd be happy to try to get to know you.

Best regards,
Pyrrha Nikos

Aya Brea:

This will be have the second time we have met, but the first time chronologically. I'm the Teensie that commanded the entire fleet beside you. I can't say I've ever lead an invasion against a city, but let me assure you that I did no such thing in my homeworld. You looked like a decent person back there, even as you were one of the most important people in the army.

I'll risk it and trust you. Pleasure to properly meet you, Aya.

Miss Brea,

By your confession, may I assume that you were involved in the invasion and attack on Mysidia? I will not hold you to blame or accountability to crimes carried out within a dream. I'd prefer to see that as a warning of what could come and I do not know the circumstances that lead to make the choices that you did.

I would like to consider you an ally, but I press upon you the importance of what we witnessed. For whatever reason, you came to the conclusion that attacking a civilian populous with a fleet of airships was the "right" thing to do.

Trying to survive is an admirable drive, but be careful of what you sacrifice to do so. It doesn't mean that we have to stop being human.

Here and now, we must be sure to not let that future come to pass.

Yours,
James Kidd

Hello Aya,

I don't know what an FBI is. I'm not going to decide what you're like based on some memories of what may or may not have been. Please feel free to come up to me, smile -- and say hello.

Aya,

That whole thing was rough as hell. I don't think I've met you before, or know what side you were on, but it doesn't matter. Beating yourself up over it doesn't help. It felt real enough to me too and there were a lot of things I wished I did differently so people wouldn't get hurt or get killed.

I think it was more of a wake-up call than anything. A lot of people aren't going to be able to forget what they saw either but at least now we have time to try to stop those decisions from happening.

P.S: Are you serious about the FBI?
