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. |

Jason,
The first thing I have to do in this letter is officially take away your right to call yourself a bad friend, or anything like that! You aren't even allowed to think it, because it's just not true! Milla was right. There wasn't anything that could've been done to keep me from staying outside to protect Russell, because a person who calls themselves a hero can't just accept a fate like that without fighting against it. That's why the only thing I regret is that I didn't fight harder, even knowing what I do now. You can't be sorry because you didn't do anything wrong. It was my choice, and I'd make it again. I'm so, so happy you and Milla are safe.
You know, I was really, really happy when you agreed to join Milla and me on our sleepover. I told you, I always knew I could depend on you, but it's not like I ever would have blamed you for not wanting to put yourself in danger. I was really happy that you wanted to keep us all safe, too, and that I got to spend time with you! It was really brave of you to join us. I'm glad you did.
I'm so happy you like the bookmark! I've been thinking about how you said you'd want to see one of the bookmarks I made when we first met ever since I started pressing flowers, so I worked really hard on it. It means a lot to me that you're using it!
Things are really cozy here, but my only complaint is that there aren't any flowers. If you have time to go to the farm, will you get some to put in my mailbox? Everyone here got their bookmarks, too, so maybe I'll get the flowers! There's a project I want to do but I'm going to need poppies in yellow and camellias in red. Cut the stems diagonally with some scissors. I'd be happy with anything you'd pick for me, though!
I know we'll see each other again! In the meantime, when I think about how nice you've been to me and how lucky I've been to have you as a friend, I feel really strong. That's why, despite what happened, I don't feel like I'm going to despair or lose hope. I know I keep saying this, but I'm really happy to know you. I wish I knew some better words, but happy is all I've got.
Hero Club tenet: try not to give up. Do your best! I hope your head feels better soon. I love you!
