I’m alone, father. I’ve been alone my whole life out doing what I wanted, driving you and mother crazy with grief. But right now, I’m truly alone. I’ve been cast out of my home and my city. My heart has been ripped out and stomped on by Otho, and Tullus… that evil man has taken everything from me simply because I was in love with a boy from his enemy’s family. What am I to do, father? Titus is with me, that damn fool. He’s given up everything to stay with and keep me safe, but he’s just a boy, as I am just a girl. We’re hungry. We’re cold, and I’m getting sick. Titus tries to put on a brave face, but I can see him starting to fade away with each day. I beg him to go home and not endure my fate, but he won’t leave me.
I don’t know what to do, father. Mother is alone. She grows weaker with news of your passing. Now she has no one to keep an eye on her. Will I ever see home again? I need your guidance more than ever.
