Yang Xiao Long,

I wasn't suppose to get this.

I don't even use this email anymore. I was transferring my crunchyroll account and needed to log in. I'm not going to lie Yang, I didn't expect an email. Definitely not about your mom. I'm not sure where I have room to talk, but for whatever it's worth. I hope the meeting goes well. Be prepared if it doesn't. You might hate me for it if you don't already, but she didn't want to be found. Be careful. I can't imagine a mother hurting her child, but I also can't imagine one who would leave you behind. She's not what I would consider a predictable woman.

She also certainly won't be like Summer.

IF you find her, are you going to come back? Do you have even the faintest of plans on what to do? Ruby's rooming with me for now, so you won't be able to just get your apartment. Should I tell Ruby to start looking for one bedrooms for yourself? Have you even told Ruby what's going on? Does she or Tai know you're safe...ish? I have no desire to butt into your family life, but she's my roomie, and a good girl, she deserves to know.

Also side note, It's not my business, but you should keep off the drinks. Alcoholism runs in your family. Just because Qrow's functioning doesn't mean it's the life anyone would have wanted for you. Tai's going to kill you.

Why am I even lecturing you? You'll just do your thing. It's late, and I just don't know how to reply to this. I'm wondering if I should, but I'm too tired to care. Work has me up at eight, thank god for the MAX or I'd have to get a car and be up even earlier.

You don't even know about my new job do you?

I'm getting unfocused, sorry. Your mom, that's a huge deal and I know I've been kicking you for it this whole email, but I do honestly wish you well. I grew up with the best of parents (Dad still talks about you btw, it's annoying.) so that's a hole I don't understand, but I respect. I hope you find whatever personal truth you're hunting the wilds for.

Seems like your search is taking you far. It's not till your email I even realized, I've never seen an ocean aside from the pacific. How do you forget something like that? I always considered myself well traveled because you know, growing up in the Philippines. I barely remember any place other than Oregon. Maybe when you use to drag us to Cali or seattle for those dumb music festivals, but, and don't you dare tell anyone this, I had to actually break out google maps to understand your little trip.

Especially Ruby, far as she knows I can find Jacksonville on a globe blind.

I don't know why I'm asking, but if we ever talk again, does it feel the same? The other end of the continent I mean. I'm sorry, for all my lecturing about the drinking, I did have a few glasses of wine before writing this. Felt like appropriate prep.

Do you even like red wine?

I keep getting off track. Your mom. Facing her she's probably not going to recognize you, and may not even want to. Bring protection, still got the spray I bought you? You're not going to punch your way through a street gang and I sure as hell can't patch you up. If you're sleeping in Summer's car, bring some blankets. It's colder there at night than Portland. I'm looking at the weather in detroit it's near freezing at night.

Maybe just come back to Tai's. He talks about you too, you know?

Sincerely,

Blake Belladonna

P.S. I'm deleting this email, it's too childish and sends the wrong message, if you need to contact me again, use BlakeBelladonna92. Maybe next time sober. Be safe Yang.

'Tis the last rose of summer,

Left blooming alone;

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone;

No flower of her kindred,

No rosebud is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes,

Or give sigh for sigh.
