Greetings,

My name is Ikkitousen Kijinko, but my given name is Persephone O’Conner. I’m…well, let’s just say I’m really old and leave it at that, although when you hear my story, you’ll understand why. I’m a flaming redhead with silver-blue eyes and a somewhat pudgier figure than normal.

My family consists of me and my two younger siblings, but no parents, as they were killed in a car wreck several years ago. Jack, Eliza, and I all look very much related, with the same hair, eyes, tallness, and tempers. Jack is 20 and slender in build. He’s also a pestilence of a brother who took it upon himself to talk smack to the guys Eliza and I dated in high school. Eliza, 23 and only 18 months younger than me before my stay in Japan, looks almost exactly like me, except she doesn’t have the rounded figure I have. We’re also very close-knit, which is why I finally decided to tell them of my three years of pain, joy and sorrow I lived through while I had been in Japan.

As we sit down in the library after supper on the night of my return to Canada, I think back to life I had lived. I feel tears welling up as I think of the husband and family I left behind all those years ago, wondering if I’m ready to do this. But Jack and Eliza each take one of my hands in theirs, knowing how much this hurts me and lending their support. I sniffle as the tears spilled over and smile.

I take a deep breath and begin my incredible tale…
