One Last Love Letter

Patricia, my love, The tincture isn't working. My leg is turning black, and the ice is creeping toward my heart. I was in such a hurry to leave this place, I got sloppy. I let the Corrupted overwhelm me. Now, it seems, I'll never leave. How ridiculous, to lie in the snow and wait for the end, to scribble my last words in the dark! I wish you'd ran away with me, all those times I asked. If only I'd found the right words then. Maybe this is for the best. When they recover my Heartgem from my corpse, they'll lay it next to yours. I'll be with you soon. -James
