So, you're dead. Shame, that.
But on the other hand, it's actually kind of nice.
When you "wake" in some odd version of it, you'll find yourself lying on a rather plush bed. It's cozy and warm and just soft enough to tempt anyone back into sleep. The room is equally nice, if small, and when you turn and open the curtains to look out the window, you will see... wait, is that the town?
It is, actually. The town is laid out quite simply across the window and no matter how many times you may bang or wave through the window, no one seems to notice you. If you're smart enough to give up the venture and leave the small bedroom, you will notice that, of course, you are on the train.
The train that, is actually pretty fancy.
Moving through it, past the sleeping cabins and through to the main carts, you will find a dining car with fine dishware and meals of all kinds made at a push of a button or a request given to the air. They'll appear, freshly made and ready to eat at the table of your choice with any drink you could want. There truly doesn't seem to be any limits when it comes to the luxury of the meal.
There is also a bathhouse car with private bathrooms and saunas to fit up to four. Even one rather large room containing a small pool/hot tub of sorts is available for just about anyone to take a dip. It's kind of outlandish, honestly.
Then the lounge car, with its library and plush armchairs and couches. A pool table, a darts board, even a small area dedicated to painting. There's a bar too, fully stocked and ready for anyone who needs a drink. All it would require is a request from the bartender who... looks surprisingly familiar?
The Sheriff is there, much cleaner cut than his counterpart outside of the train. He looks up mildly at any arrivals, giving them a nod of greeting before going back to organizing bottles or setting cigars out for a smoke. He doesn't seem to be surprised at all by anyone who appears. Just... ready to serve them, whatever they may wish.
It all sort of seems okay for a moment, until you realize you're just here to wait for the game to end. Awkward. |

I suppose I owe you an explanation.
When I said that I fell asleep near the baths by accident, that was a lie. In truth, I stayed there on purpose, hoping that someone would see me so that they would back up my alibi. That someone was you, and though you said what you believed to be true, my dishonesty forced you to support a liar.
Worse than that, you even comforted me when I was overcome by my own guilt. I might even have confessed if not for you... Mister Auditore might still be alive, if so. I used you not once but twice.
I know you've no reason to believe me when it is common knowledge by now that I helped commit a murder, but I swear, I did it because I wanted to save everyone. In this, I believe we can find some common ground. I would like to help you, no matter how little it is I can do from this side.
If this is acceptable, and if you do not mind if I write to you again, please let me know.
I'd still like to visit Labyrinthia someday.
