A photograph of some Peruvian lilies I had on May 3rd, 2015. I didn’t have nearly the same appreciation for plants back then as I do now, but I thought these were lovely.

I do hope this letter will never end up in your hands - not because I do not like you! It is because I still am very embarrassed to hand you such a thing filled with my deepest feelings and the possibility of it being not mutual pains me but I would accept it as fact as one should, I still wish to be a friend and companion that you can lean on.

You must wonder why I have come to like you, even enamoured with you if you wish to go so far.

It is fairly simple - you've seem to touch my heart so with nothing more than a few kind gestures and words, each day when we are putting our cycled lives on the line yet you still come to get me whenever I am chaired sparks admiration in my heart. It feels very silly that such a thing makes it pitter so but I cannot help the flush of my cheeks that doesn't seem to go away even if we escape or do not. It pains me when I try to rescue you only to come too late or you sacrifice yourself, I do my best to make sure it does not come to that but sometimes attempts are futile but I won't stop the attempts.

Out of such matches, things can always get hectic with moments of liveliness that comes from delivering letters and everyone getting ready for their matches or nights of festivities and joy and our time is always short one way or another but I enjoy every moment that we can enjoy each other's quiet company of being in the same room or by each other. I would never ask much of your time, a few moments - even seconds - is enough to satisfy me.

I do worry one day I may get selfish with wanting more than fleeting moments but I hope that it does not come to such. I want to be satisfied with what we have. I do not want to mess up a wonderful thing which is why I will do my best to keep my heart to my chest and smile for you.

I hope that any letter given in matches will be enough to help aid you in escape.

I hope that each rescue I can enact will give you more rush and hope than you can handle to continue winning these games.

I hope that what route you take, it brings you the most joy and satisfaction that leaves you with no more longing and that everything you need to know and remember is tucked away safely in a locked case.

I hope that I, along with others, stay in that locked little case for you to cherish forever. Please remember to think of me even for a moment when you get a letter or see something that reminds you of me, platonically or romantically I will not be displeased with either.

I wish I had the courage to give this to you but I can't, I do hope you can forgive me should you ever get this letter yet I am not here anymore. The amount of affection I have feels tremendous and overbearing which is more than I want to burden you with. Know if you get this letter and that moment has passed you have been a shining door in my darkest moments that I've stumbled about.

Do not lose yourself, keep the good memories of you and others to brighten yourself more and forever shall I keep such golden memories of us together tightly to my heart even long after I am gone. A piece of me shall be forever yours.

Hopelessly for you,

Victor Grantz-Campbell
