Mikhail Balka

[Legiron]

“It was a quiet night when you left, when my whole world fell apart, you could hear a pin drop. When he died, you had the audacity to leave me and my sister behind, where were you when it all collapsed underneath us? While I tried to keep me and Yasha together, things happened fast, but I had to keep going. Yasha lost hope after Dad passed, I couldn’t blame her, who could? But in my mind, I had to get answers, something, to just figure out why you left. I had a buddy of mine, figure out a way past the sentries and guards that patrolled the Zone’s border. I will find you Mom, and when I do, I hope I did the right thing.”

Stepan Balka *DECEASED* --- "You taught me all you could Dad, everything to know about the world, about people, and most importantly to stay calm and patient. Everyday it gets harder to remember your lessons, and what you sounded like. The day you left, you told us that you'd return, to give both me and Yasha the best surprise... That never came, the days got longer, darker and more crazy. I miss you..."

Naya Balka --- "Why?! Please, tell me why you left us for this cursed place, the shithole of Ukraine, where adventure and death go hand in hand. You left for this place after Dad died, you didn't even try to understand. Or you tried to explain it off like it was some science project... I-.. I don't even know anymore, these past three years have been tough, I just don't understand Mom... I love you, and miss you, but its as if.. Did you even care?"

Yasha Balka --- "Wherever you are now, I just hope you know that you will always be my sister and my only family, but I have to find her. Yasha if I don't do this... It'll hang over my head until I grow old and weary, stay strong for me, and don't forget the chores around the house. I'll be back, I promise. Love, Mikhail."

Nikolai 'Kolya' Eljanov --- "Mom and Dad always told me to stay away from you, I didn't understand when I was younger, but I seemed to get it as I got older, especially on that day. The way my Mom looked at you, it freaked me out.. I didn't understand, but he died over there? He told us he'd be back, he promised us and you come back? I don't know what happened there Uncle, but whatever it was... You should've brought him back home alive..."​
