FORM: sending crystal
SENDER: Cullen Rutherford
RECIPIENT: everyone
WHAT: Cullen is attempting to turn nostalgia into a good thing again
WHEN: now
[ The voice over the crystal sounds tired, which is nothing new, but there's a little bit of fire that's been lacking lately. Maybe it's a desire to get back to something that's been slipping away. ]
I've had a reminder recently that one's past can not be outrun, and perhaps that isn't such a bad thing. It is the hand that shapes the people we become. Looking at those I have in my life now, I feel I have a cause to be grateful for the pasts we all carry.
I'd like to ask for something - a happy memory. Something that gives you hope, something that keeps you going. I realize it's an easy thing to lose sight of, things being as they are, but forgotten is not the same as gone.

My twin. No specific incidents, just...the times when it was just us, without responsibilities or obligations. Wading in the river and splashing each other, trying to race one another up a tree--I always won--or just having lunch together.
I don't like being apart from him, but--It helps me remember why I'm here. Why what I'm doing is so important.

How long has it been since you last saw your twin brother?
[ He knows that there's something special there, that him missing his brother and sisters is not the same as someone missing their twin, but at least he has some frame of understanding for what it feels like to be away from family that you love. ]

Not very long, truthfully. My clan primarily travels throughout the Free Marches, so ever since we've set up base in Kirkwall, I've been able to make monthly visits. [ Isn't it SO GREAT that we're in Kirkwall, Cullen? Just The Best. ] Before the move, I only got to see him once in the two years I've been here.
I know that it's still more than some have gotten to see their family, but. For our entire lives up to that point, we had rarely spent a day apart.
Sometimes the memories make me homesick. But they remind me of the good in this world that we are fighting for. And that no matter what happens here, I have someone who unconditionally loves and believes in me. It's a good motivator.
