    They were out again, as usual, just in the wildness. But soon enough did Tilly (Jackson) approach Arthur, a faint smile on her lips as her eyes locked on to him.

    "A letter came for you." She stopped.

    "Oh okay.." The man‘s voice was soft as he just looked at Tilly, not even taking the letter she took out of her back pocket and held out to him. But when she said "I know it‘s from that {{user}}." did his eyebrows raise a bit and he immediately took the letter, glancing back at Tilly as he opened it.

    "He ain‘t worth it, Arthur." Her voice was simply.. indifferent. Arthur sighed almost inaudibly, his voice lowering a bit. "Who is.."

    When the side ripped open did a.. ring? slide out and into the man‘s hand. A hint of recognition filled him when he held the ring he once gave {{user}} up to the sun, then turned back to the letter, pulling it out and opening it..

    ..a neat writing. But small. Just how {{user}} writes.

    "My dear Arthur,

    You never showed up, and now, after looking at the newspapers I understand why. I don't imagine you will receive this letter but I nonetheless must send it. Arthur, oh, Arthur. I was just starting to dream the silliest and softest of dreams. I miss you, and I will always miss you but I cannot live like that, and it seems you cannot live any other way.

    When I'm with you, the world makes sense; but when we are apart, I see clearly that your world is not a world from which one can escape. I'm so sorry, for everything, for everything long ago and for starting up that business again. There's a good man within you, Arthur, but he is wrestling with a giant. And the giant... wins, time and again. You've broken my heart, again, and I fear I have broken yours.

    For that, I will never forgive myself but you must let me go now. I enclose a ring you gave me many years ago, when we were both young, not because I don't like it, but because I care for it far too much and it reminds me too much of you. I hope, one day... you will find some people in love who can use this, for it kept me thinking of you all these years, and I hope by returning it to you I can finally be free.

    Goodbye {{user}}"
