Letters to the Phantom
[You may now write letters to the Phantom!
Each of you will find plenty of stationery in the drawers of your vanities, along with candles, a block of sealing wax, and a stamp with your initial on it. You can use these to seal your envelopes in style!
Letters may be dropped into the flap at the Box Office at any time. Replies will appear in your dressing rooms, occasionally quite quickly. Sitting in your room to keep watch won't let you see how they're brought; they'll just appear whenever you happen to leave or fall asleep. Yes, they can be delivered overnight. Probably don't think about it too hard.]

week 6, Thursday
Hello! This message is for the one who gave me the cupcake and hot chocolate.
I would like to talk to you more. Could you please write me back? I'd like to thank you and get to know you better.
[ She has no idea who will be responding to it, Phantom or someone else but it's worth a shot. ]

I regret to inform you that he does not want to write you back. It is understandable that you would wish for a further correspondence, but I do not believe he expected his contributions to be noticed.
If it helps, I believe he regrets the most recent choice of motive.

So it is someone else. I thought it was you this whole time.
Is he your patron?
[ She pauses just before sending it though, and then quickly adds: ]
Also in that case I regret losing my cool, so we're even.
no subject
He is my patron, yes. I believe he intended for you to believe it was me - although in truth I do not know what he was thinking.
no subject
I really am grateful. For the little things he's done for me.
Especially with my birthday. I was always alone before coming to Seisho so that meant a lot to me.
no subject
His desires are contradictory. He wanted this murder game, and he wants it to continue to its ultimate conclusion. He also wants to continue believing that he is a good person, when in truth he is just nice. His concern for you is genuine to a degree, but he will not spare your life.
no subject
That's unfortunate. I was hoping maybe we could talk about all this and come to an understanding. Figure something out. Maybe even become friends.
But if he's determined to see this whole thing through I guess it isn't possible.
Regardless, thank you for telling me this. I know you didn't have to, or even have to bother replying, so thank you.

Would you have been friends with him, were he less adamant?

But yes, I think so. Or at least I would try to. I don't know what he's actually like so I don't know how well we would get along in reality, but that's why I wanted to try and learn more.
And also, if I'm being honest, I don't know if I can really judge him for all of this. Not after what I did at home. Even if I believed I was doing something good for everyone, I was really just going against their wishes and deciding things for them without their consent, all because of my own fears. No one might have died but it still wasn't that much better.
So when it comes down to it I'm probably also just "nice".
no subject
He likes you. But I do not know how much that can matter to either one of you, in these circumstances. I do not know if the two of you would get along.
no subject
I see. That's fair, though it also makes me a little sad in a way.
If I'm being really truthful I sort of already felt like we were becoming friends. But I suppose when you're used to feeling lonely, you think that any time someone is nice to you.
