*the letter is sealed in an envelope*

To Andy,

I had starting writing a letter to Louisa but I don't want to upset her.

Things aren't going as well as we'd thought up here - it is like not being on the ground has made people lose their minds. Someone tried to breach an airlock yesterday so that they could escape, and the alarms have started to ring more often than not which is tiring to say the least. They won't tell us what the problem is.

We are so far from home now, I look down and see only darkness, the world feels further away than I had ever imagined. From my cabin, I've named stars after you and Louisa to keep me company and I talk to them when I'm lonely. Perhaps I'm going insane too.

I wish I knew when I could come home. I have no idea when it'll be now, but they promise us that we will be able to make it home, so I'm holding onto that with the entirety of my heart. And of heart, absence makes the heart grow stronger, so you best be ready for a hug that might just squeeze the life out of you when I'm back on solid ground.

I love you so much. Thank you for making Louisa eat her vegetables.

I love you.

Alyx
