Then he saw it. The envelope lay near the broken window. Someone had taken it... Opened it... And placed it back. The wax seal was broken. But Adrian knew he hadn't touched it. His pulse raced. He hurried toward it. Inside was a single sheet of paper. Nothing else. No map. No hidden compartment. No second page. Just one letter. His hands trembled as he unfolded it. The handwriting was elegant. Steady. Old-fashioned. The first sentence froze him. Adrian,

“You should do it.” I want to joke that maybe if she opens it, she’ll be the one that has to go, but no one would think that funny at the moment. I sit on the edge of the cushion next to her and slide my finger under the cell. The letter is beautiful, and it seems a shame to tear it up. The flap gives, revealing a sheet of thick white paper with embossed print. I think it’s probably a form letter all the girls get until I see that it’s actually handwritten and contains my name.

With a disconcerting ease, it fell loose, exposing a tiny bundle of letters underneath. She picked one up after hesitating. The lettering caught her breath, even though the paper was old and the ink was a little dirty. Her penmanship. Greetings, Alex I'm not sure how long I can remain here. The house is observing. It won't let me go— The remaining words faded into pointless scuffs, the ink dripping off the edges as though they weren't completed. Emery's hand gripped the page more tightly. This was the first time she had written it. This was the first time she had been here—had she?

He laughs, and it's kind of nice. "So, what do we do first?" He rolls his eyes and dips his hand into the bag, bringing out a letter and putting it face down on the board. "I know that was just a test so see if I really knew what to do." Mika shrugs. "You caught me." She also dips her hand into the velvety bag and draws a letter. "Open." He turns his up and it's an E. She turns hers up and it's an S.

“Well come on now, open it!” I slid my fingers carefully under the lip of the envelope, careful not to pop off the wax seal, and opened it up, pulling the carefully folded letter out from inside. I unraveled the note, and on the parchment was a handwritten letter, scrawled in the most beautiful calligraphy.

Beneath the milk sat a neatly folded letter. On the front, a few carefully written words stood out: For Charlotte. It was the first time she had seen Noah's handwriting. It wasn't elegant at all—crooked and uneven, almost like a child's. But every stroke was pressed down with unmistakable force. She held the letter in her hands, yet for a long time, she didn't dare open it.

I pick it up, and there's the letter 'A' written in bold on the back. I sigh as I tear it open. I pull out the card and read the words on it. (I'm coming back to return to place, what should have been.) “You are not giving up yet, are you?“

Red-rimmed, but steady. "I didn't want to read it alone," Damian said. Nova crossed to him without a word. She slipped into the chair beside him, knees brushing his, and reached for his hand. He didn't hesitate. Their fingers laced. Damian opened the envelope slowly, carefully, as if it might crumble under the weight of what was inside. The letter was written in plain English. No cipher. No code. Just the slanted, looping scrawl of a man who had run out of time.

The letter arrived on Tuesday morning. The handwriting on the envelope was unfamiliar — not Reuben's careful letters, not Ellie's precise script.
