Chapter Text
December 2, 1960
You were anxious all day, but you didn’t know why. Perhaps your energy was finally running out as you had been up since 5 this morning going to your classes and extracurricular activities: the stresses of the last few weeks of the semester were coming up. You had to prepare and study as much as possible as Senior year was going to be tough. Surely you thought getting your masters degree was not going to be this difficult, and yet, how wrong you were. As you gathered all the bags and books in your hand, you stumbled to your apartment dorm. The closer you got to the building, the more anxious you became. Something was wrong, or perhaps, something was right?
After heading up the one flight of stairs to your dorm, you rounded the corner and noticed a bright red envelope catch your eye on the ground in front of your door. You noticed the “from” address came all the way from Romania, and your name was written in the most elegant scroll you had ever seen. You recognized the writing immediately and dropped your belongings on the ground as they hit the floor with a resounding thud.
You quickly gathered your keys and grabbed the letter and the rest of your belongings off the carpet, nearly tripping over them in the process as you tried to get inside. As the front door slammed shut, you kicked your bags and books to the side and ripped the letter open–you nearly passed out from the excitement.
“There is no way, absolutely no way this is real,” you thought to yourself, but it was. Here, 6 years later, at last, she has finally communicated with you. How dreamed of this moment for so long.

Sweet Macy! By the time you receive this letter, it shall already be December. It's been 7 years since you and I met face to face in my dressing room, and 6 years since we last communicated over our letters and phone calls–how the time flew by so quickly. This is definitely "mea maxima culpa," and it's probably too late for apologies, but darling, I am so sorry that I didn't contact you up until this point. I just know you're upset with me, and I don't blame you whatsoever. I had, as everyone already knows, been unfortunately ill. I decided to seek treatment when I was here on tour in Romania and have been residing here ever since. It was one of the greatest decisions of my life! You have no clue how wonderful I feel now: it was as if I were gaining a second chance. So much has changed my little doll, and...well I hope to see you in the near future, if you grant me your consent. I would write all 6 years in detail, but meeting in person would make everything easier to explain. I have literally been everywhere, and yet, nowhere all at once.
Whenever you are comfortable, please ring me at this number (0373-6617-4441). And should you say yes to seeing me, just inform me when you want to leave. I'll have everything prepared for you: money, your plane ticket (first class of course), and transportation from the airport to my humble abode. I miss that sweet face of yours! Your eyes have been ingrained into my mind since the day you and I met. It is ridiculous how long I’ve been away and kept so much from you.
I hope you call. I need to hear that beautiful voice. I owe you an explanation…and then some.
Yours truly,
Alcina D!
