There are only two choices in life: the traditional path of marriage and raising kids, or the adventurous path of living life to the fullest. Mena, I had intended to marry you under those olive trees, but circumstances changed. Perhaps by the time you receive this message, I may no longer be alive. Since the day we met, we have shared incredible experiences together. From wineries in Italy to our travels in Costa Rica and the Philippines, we have explored the world and savored different cuisines. We even endured the pandemic together, spending 18 months locked in an apartment, finding joy in the simple act of clapping on the balcony at 7 PM. We have created unforgettable memories and faced challenges as a team. Apollo, our beloved companion, has brought us immeasurable happiness and has become an integral part of our family. I am grateful beyond words for that. Now, let me get straight to the point. Something happened to me. I made choices. You might remember that incident with my wet phone in the Philippines. It made me realize how much I need you to know that I am alive, that somehow I made it out. I am somewhere in the universe, though I have no idea where exactly. At least now you know. I had meant to say yes, but circumstances have made everything complicated.

• Dec 2023: Funeral for Stark. Yasmina's lack of sadness surprises everyone.
