If you want me to be blunt, then no. I have a younger sister; she hates me due to past events. If she missed me at all, I would be greatly surprised. I tended to keep to myself otherwise; the closest things I had to friends back home are dead.
My situation is a bit unusual in regards to how I'm perceived by the rest of society; let's just say that my work is such that I accepted long ago that I would die alone, and no one would know - and even if they knew, then no one would care. I'm told that's horribly depressing; I've never found it to be such.
I'm content here, however; I've made a few friends, and I'm currently seeing someone who cares about me a great deal. It's nice, really.
[He pauses for a moment before sending it, after having tacked on that last part. That's the sort of thing people want to hear, isn't it...?]
