If you're reading this letter, it means you've lost your memory again. This happened to you at least once before. I wish I'd had a letter like this back then, so let me tell you everything I've learned so far.
Your name is Ascensuri Cataracta and you used to be a Kingsglaive in Insomnia. About four no, five years ago, most of the remaining Glaives simultaneously lost their memories over the course of a few months. Some say it's divine retribution for our betrayal that helped kickstart the apocalypse. I still haven't found out if you were part of that or not. Some hunters found you wandering around in the wilderness and brought you here, where you've been ever since, helping restore power to nearby outposts.
There it is, that's all I know about you so far. It's up to you to learn the rest. See if you can find out when our birthday is. See if you can find someone out there who recognizes you and can tell you what you did before you wound up here.
Hopefully you're reading this letter where I left it, in your apartment. You live here with Lumen Parvum Sufficiens (the other guy in the photo) who's an amnesiac like you. You met him a few years ago while hunting. You can trust him. He'll look out for you. Unless he also lost his memory, in which case, make sure you look out for him too. He's the most important person you have — I can't tell you how many times he's saved your life by now.
Monica's your "boss," sort of, so find her and talk to her about keeping the apartment. You worked hard for it, so don't lose it now. If you need help finding your way and Lumen's not around, look for people named Nelly, Tobul, Yura, and/or Sadda. You've been hunting with them for years, and though we're not necessarily close, they know us enough to steer you in the right direction, at least.
There's a photo album on the bookshelf in case you need to memorize faces, and emergency rations in your Armiger.
I know it's tough to not know who you are, but you did it once. You can do it again.
[She really shouldn't have read that: after months and months of carefully ducking memories, blowing it all to break into Cobalt's apartment and go through his mail seems honestly pretty ridiculous. But there it is: she's gone and done it now, can't pretend that she didn't...
[It's such a sad thing to have had to write.
[And, of course - it starts her to wondering if she should write him a letter, too.]
its probabbly selfish but i hope you never forget me either. We met in a diffrent world to this but im not sure its any better. You lose your memories there too im sorry, we all do i think or most of us. We met there & Thorn Lumen is there too i like to think were friends.
Im from a different world again im a singer, you meet lots of other people there (we're on a unit called pep!pep! with pink & senpai & the others) and we all care for you a lot. Its not a good place to be but you make it better & im sure there are so many others who would say so too. You are a wonderful person & even if you forgot all this you still know how to be kind.
im really glad i met you & Thorn Lumen you make it home for me.
sorry i found all your stuff
i love you a lot i will never forget how good you are
[ The plant stands on stilts in the middle of an enormous crater. From the walls of the crater are huge spears of crystallized metal. They glow blue, and are wreathed in shimmering blue plasma that ripples and coils like slow-motion fire. The light from the crystals is enough to bathe the apartment in its soft glow. ]
[ The "balcony" is tiny, barely large enough for a line of potted plants. Nothing grows here, though. Instead, there's a tidy pile of meteor shards: two red, two green, one blue, and two yellow. There are two swords leaning against the railing. They’re a bit dull, but they’ll cut if you mean it.]
[Oh, she hopes Ren-chan is going to be okay in there. It looks really perilous, though the rippling glow is pretty.
[The balcony is too small to come out onto, but she's going to pick up as many shards and swords as she can comfortably carry. Maybe this is beginning to sound like overkill, but she doesn't know how many of them they're going to need. Better to be safe than sorry, she supposes.]
[All right, she's going to take the crossbow as well. Nobody said how many weapons were too many weapons.
[She likes the photos! but resolves to teach Cobalt how to up his selfie game in the future. A good selfie stick would be a start. Even so, it's still nice to see him, to get some clearer idea of what his life was meant to be like, before he was ripped from it.
[Then...
[She hesitates, and reaches for her lantern. She places it down on the table, and rests her hands on its lid.]
This place... it's important to you, isn't it, Cobalt-san?

Re: Apartment
[Maybe just a peek at the letter wouldn't hurt...?]

Re: Apartment
[She should probably go and investigate what's making that light. Is there another shard here?]
Re: Apartment
[ You can see the power plant from here. ]

Re: Apartment
[Now what?]
Re: Apartment
[She wants to look at the photo album.
[She wants to see the faces of Cobalt's friends.]
Re: Apartment
[Most of the books are detective novels, tattered and old. You do find one photo album and it is full of
seriously the worst pictures you've ever seen.
it looks like they were all taken while the camera was being literally thrown from one person to another. This is a bunch of trash, frankly.]
[But someone liked them enough to keep, it seems.]

Re: Apartment
[And now, with this lantern, you know it's full of a little bit more.]
