-=-/-\-=- Lieutenant Junior Grade Nanee Quiocho's Quarters -=-/-\-=-
Nanee came back to her quarters after needing to get away from what seemed the four wall box. She had eaten at the mess hall and decided to go back to her quarters for some rest. She found out before she left Sickbay that she would need to meet with her new CMO and get an idea of what he, apparently, has in mind for the department. She was excited to see such new faces, but everyone could still tell that she was timid and sadly it had made Nanee standoffish. Her shyness has masked her personality and since she has joined the Chimera Crew hasn't made any friends or people she can trust real well yet.
Nanee was having another downer day and decide to hand write her cousin a letter to better get her frustrations out and whether or not her cousin would get this letter or not, Nanee didn't care.

Dear MaiKai,
I hope all is well on Unity with the small little family you have made and I hope pregnancy is making you all a better glow. Now I don't mean to put a damper on your day or stress you over the little things, but I've wanted to write to you some of my frustrations in hopes some day you'll understand.
I know times have been rough for you, and some more than I could imagine. I'd like to say I understand, but I know I fully won't. I'd like to tell you how sorry I am for the loss we both have had of our childhood from having to grow up so quickly, but I can't say I have regret it. I know Ohana and it's meaning has been at loss to the both of us, me especially since you have Rick, Rachel and one on the way. As grandfather would say, "It's small and broken, but still good". It's still good. I've tried to make efforts to rekindle the communication and even the trust of our other immediate family and I think it's time you've made some more effort yourself. It's been how long since you've talked to you parents or brother? Probably almost a decade? And for what Mai? To prove a point? To write them off for their mistakes? I just don't understand where you get off being this rock of a person, unwilling to sway to be more open minded. I know it may be asking a lot, but seriously, what does it hurt to at least write them telling them about your new family, about the accomplishments you have made and asking them the same? Just to catch up. I'm not asking for apologies or even for reunion just effort. Just to say you tried..
I'm sorry if I have voiced too much. I'd even go as far to say I haven't voiced enough. Please don't bear a grudge on me like you have so many others. I still need you in my life. I need you to understand I just want what's best for us and for the family. WE need you. It's just not the same..
Love Your Cousin,
Nanee Quiocho

Nanee wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to dab dry the tear streaked marks on the letter she had finished. Nanee debated whether to ball it up and start all over, but decided to leave it on the table for now as she took a nap. She'd feel better maybe after a nap.
