Rick, forgive me for doing this in notes. I'm not strong enough to do it in persons. I realize now that I'm attracted to you for the same reason I can't be with you. You can't change. And I have no problem with that, but it clearly means I have a problem with myself. I'm sure there's no perfect version of me. I'm sure I'll just unify species after species. And never really be complete. But I know how it goes with us. I lose who I am and become part of you. Because in a strange way, you're better at what I do without even trying.
Yours, and nobody else's,
Unity.
Forgive me, Rick, I can only leave a note, I don't have the courage to say goodbye to you in person. I understand now, what drew me to you was exactly why I couldn't be with you. You cannot change. This is not a bad thing, but for me, it is a hurdle that cannot be crossed. I know a perfect me doesn't exist. I know I will assimilate one race after another, but can never be truly perfect. But I know where we end up. I will lose myself and become a part of you. The most strange thing is this, obviously it is my specialty, you can beat me without any effort.
forever yours alone,
Commonwealth
