Really though, this is just a place for me to say nice things about my friends and people I care for. I keep a pretty small group of close people, and to me, they are the world. If you see your name here, know that I will always have time for you.

Kai. My brother. While not by blood, I have found as close to any real family that I know in you. We maybe quite different, but yet, we are very much alike. A wise man once said that family trees need not be organic, and that branches grafted on are equally valid. I'm glad to have such a good younger brother, even grafted on.

Ocelot. Serdy. My oldest friend, and the person with whom I would gladly create entire universes with. I've known you for over a decade now. You are the oldest member of my 'family'. While life's complication and us getting older has made it harder to be as close as we once were, and age has weathered our creative spirit, I will cherish the stories we've told. To the Frozen North, to the edges of civilized space. From lands of colorful horses, to endearing furry companions. We've seen much. May our stories never be lost to time, my friend.

Hunie. Nearly a decade, I've known you. It's honestly hard to express what direction my life might have taken without you in it. You're great. Sure, life has been rocky, but you keep kickin and making your way down the path. Keep it up. We've been through interesting times, from friends gained to friends lost. Even with all of the chaos that seems to follow, I'll crawl out through the fallout, and make my way back to you. The wasteland has never known such a pretty shade of brown.

Zey. A far more recent addition to my life, but one I still hold dearly. While things maybe a little awkward sometimes, the time I get to cherish with you and Hunie are some of my favorite moments. Just careful with those windows, huh? You seem to phase right through em.

Dusky. My loyal bat. To hear your chirps and lovely voice bring me such unending calm. Another of my oldest lasting bonds, you have been right at my side through some of the most complicated and complex parts of my life, and yet, you've stood steadfast, even when I myself have wanted to fall. Your unwavering commitment has brought me to new heights, standing higher than ever before. Thank you. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. May the bond NEVER fade.

Outfox. Nono, not me. A different fox! Fox royalty, even. I've known you nearly as long as I've known Dusky, and were among my first friends gained after I met him. While we don't talk as much as I wish we did, and we sometimes butt heads on rather silly topics, you are still someone I hold dear, and you shine as brightly as the gems that adorn you. Seeing you blossom.

Tex. Birdbrain (affectionately). I found you on some goofy GTA discord, and that is a moment written in the history books. What followed has become one of my most treasured and dearest bonds. Together, we tell vast stories of unlikely characters, interesting partnerships, and complex feelings. From the wastes, to magical lands, there will always be a story to tell with you. May we continue to write out our story, and dream of those wonderful lands together.

Bunny. We met through a mutual, and through them we have forged a strong bond. While that bond has deepened on the back of heartache and unhappiness due to that other person, I have found something special in our dynamic and the history we share. My favorite curvy bnnuy. Your dorky fox. We've weathered a storm, and come out closer and stronger thanks to it.

Coolio and Enbee. Where to start. Man. The two most recent additions to this list of close friends I call family BY FAR. While things are still fresh, and sometimes a little rocky, I look forward to the adventures we forge together. We've a story to write and a path to forge. Here's hoping it's a smooth one.

K9. An interesting story. A strong and fiery start with a lull in the middle, and finally ramping back into something. Someone I'd gladly share a drink with. While I'm unsure of where our path is going, I'm along for the ride one way or another. Just don't miss the chance a second time, eh?

This.. Is a little more somber.. But there are some friends I want to acknowledge and leave some words for, even though they aren't in my life anymore. Maybe someday they'll see them, if they still think of me.

Fey... Corsair? You and the Crew were honestly one of the best things to happen to me. While things ended very poorly, and for reasons you have every reason to stand by, I want to say that I miss you all, even if you don't miss me. We had some good times. Played some fun games. Crushed foes and conquered the seas. It is unfortunate that things went how they did. I hope you all are doing great.

Panda. My copilot. First Mate. Colony commander and interstellar comrade. You probably had more games and ideals for good times with me than anyone else on this list. To this day, I still think about you, when my ship is quiet and empty. I said some things I really shouldn't have. Questioned things I had no right to. I've learned from that. Took it as a lesson to be a better person. I hope someday you forgive me, but I don't blame you if you don't. Your pilot, if you'd have me, signing off.
