Dear Gejutel 17

Dear Frankenstein,

How are you holding up?

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

Go away.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

That bad, is it? I can understand what such a day must mean to you. It only comes once a year. Your life will go back to normal again.

Sincerely, Gejutel

P.S. You even had a day of preparation yesterday.

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

Must you try to comfort me? Just leave me alone.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

P.S. And a day of preparation means little when all that was planned is undone in a single afternoon.

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

Now there's no reason to wallow in misery. You must put up with such things in other places. Surely you can survive one day in your own home. Don't tell me you have locked yourself in your room?

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

I'm in my lab.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

I'm sure the others are enjoying a nice, relaxing day off. You might as well join them. It's only one day. It can't be that bad.

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

Must you go on like this? I have told you it is unnecessary. There are only 13 hours, 26 minutes, and 54 seconds left. I will be occupied here until that time has passed. Your concern is baseless.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

I am aware how difficult New Years Day must be for you. The traditions do not suit you in the least, and after witnessing for myself the behavior of those children, I believe that my concern is well-founded indeed.

Sincerely, Gejutel

P.S. I assume that your master has not barred the children from the house for your sake?

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

The children have free range of the living room as always, and they have made the most of those so-called traditions. The house is in squalor, and for the sake of tradition, it must remain in such a state until the day passes since, as they claim, throwing out the filth will also throw out good luck. A ridiculous superstition.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

But just the same, you have not been barred from the others. You needn't spend the day locked away.

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

Are you there? I haven't received your reply.

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

Your master ordered you to the lab, didn't he?

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

It was a recommendation and none of your business.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

I suppose with all things considered, a day in your lab isn't too unusual. Much more pleasant than the chaos that is surely happening upstairs. You'll be able to clean everything tomorrow. You have that to look forward to.

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

Oh, yes, I am looking forward to that. I am planning as we speak.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

Planning?

Sincerely, Gejutel

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Gejutel,

Chore lists.

Sincerely, Frankenstein

[-] [-] [-]

Dear Frankenstein,

I fear for those in your household.

Sincerely, Gejutel

A/N: Happy New Years! It occurred to me that today is Frankenstein's least favorite day of the year. Tomorrow is probably the least favorite day of everyone else. Considering that Frankenstein had so much undisturbed time on his hands (and wasn't in the best of moods anyway), the chore lists are probably something to be dreaded. As for the tradition, I think that's a Chinese New Year thing, but I could be wrong. I didn't double check my information, but we'll overlook that. Have a good one!
