Dearest G̵͈̯͇͙̼̒͝r̷͎̳͎͇͇̀̊̈̚ͅi̶̻͙̲͐̚ͅǎ̵̛̛̘̘̣̗̦͍͆́ǹ̴̤̲̳̗͇̦͈́̽,
Hey, man! How’s it been? Are you doing alright? Not starting any drama this time, I hope?
Well, even if you are, I’m sure it’s the funny kind. You’ve always been downright HILARIOUS, actually. I don’t think I’ve literally ever laughed more than with you. I still remember half the things you said, especially back in high school.
Man, those were some… interesting times? I mean, sure, things got pretty messy. And bloody, too. God, I don’t think I ever managed to clean up all the stains from my halloween suit! And it was so expensive too! If I ever see Sam him again, I’m totally gonna kick him in the balls, just for that!
And stab him. Once in the chest for what he did to me. Then at least a thousand more for everything he out you through. It’ll happen, I promise. I won’t sit back next time.
This is weird. I don’t remember ever feeling this violent before.
Really, though, I’m sorry you had to go through all that. It probably didn’t help that my brain was all wonky back then, too. You’re probably laughing at this right now, aren’t you? You meanie!
Fuck, man. I can hear you in my head, you know that?
I can hear you giggling and saying my brain’s still wonky. I mean, in all fairness, you wouldn’t be wrong at all. Dude, these Watchers are gonna drive me insane. How did you survive any of this? How did you even leave?! I’ve been trying to find some way out, but I’m just… it’s terrifying, man! I almost got caught a few times. I managed to convince them that I was just getting lost. They’re not gonna believe that for much longer, though. That excuse only worked back when I was still new and all. I don’t even know if I had gotten close at any point or not!
Man. I’m starting to think that even high school wasn’t this shit. Then again, I was practically dead for half of what happened back then.
Sorry. It’s shitty of me to make jokes about that, isn’t it? I’d rewrite this, but I only have one paper.
Besides, you know all my sins anyway. Might as well add to the list.
Hey, when I make it out, you should tell me what happened while I was out! Reminiscence about the good old days, ya know? No pressure, of course! Not that I could ever pressure you into anything anyways, you’d just punch me. So rude :(
I miss you, Grian.
I miss you. I want you here with me.
Actually, no I don’t. I want to be there with you, wherever the hell “there” even is. I just want you, I think. You’re so amazing, you knew how to escape. You know so much, you’re so smart. You’re amazing!
You’re so pretty, and lovely and kind. And you have crazy patience, to be able to deal with me so long. You’re so, very great, man.
I love you.
I was hoping to be able to say that in person. I don’t know if just showing you is enough anymore. You deserve to hear it too. I want you to hear it, and you will. I’ll make it out of here, just wait for me.
Promise,
Your Taurtis.
