The mail service Downside is kind of sketchy, but eventually a note arrives at Chainsaw's house. The paper had been folded on itself rather than put in an envelope, and the handwritten address simply reads Chainsaw.

Inside, it reads:

Dear Chainsaw,

This is the This is the fourth time I'm writing this letter, but I'm running out of paper, so I'd better get it right this time.

I'm sorry I called you a moron. I'm sorry I got mad instead of explaining myself.

I was mad because you did to Orfeo what you did to me. I'm not trying to drag that up again, because we dealt with it and it's done, I'm just trying to explain. I don't know if I overreacted or not. She was pretty broken that night, but I hear she was back at work pretty quickly.

I told you I hate this place, and I'm sorry I said it, but I'm not sorry I feel that way. I don't belong here, and the way the system of torture works is antithetical to everything I ever believed. The Crescent's not enough of a balance. The system still sucks. And I know I'll never be able to fix it, █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Sorry. I got carried away.

But I don't hate you. I don't like the job you do, and I don't like you that much when you get drunk and mean, but I don't hate you. I could list all the things I don't like about you, but the fact remains that I love you. You saved me from Jasmine, and you take care of me when I'm broken, and you're a decent guy in spite of everything, and you're the only person Downside who knew me, and you're cute when you're asleep, and I love you.

I know we don't say that, but I thought you should know.

I'm not sure this letter makes a lot of sense. Sorry. The important parts are "I'm sorry," "I don't hate you," and "I love you."

I hope you'll write back. If you don't, will you at least let me know when I can come over and get my stuff out of your house?

I miss you, in spite of everything.

Love,

███████ ███████ Me
