Dear Gina, losing your boss must've been really hard on you. How are you coping?
Uniquartz,
........
Losin 'im was... the hardest thing I ever been through. He was so important to me. He was my Da... the only one I ever had. Even if he was keepin things from me, I still... I cared for 'im. He took me in. He made me feel welcome.
........
I've been sat here since I got this letter, thinkin. Asougi and I were stayin in a hotel together, but he moved in with Iris and Holmes. Maybe I should go ahead and move in, too. What do you think?
Inspector Gina Lestrade
P.S. - Iris is helpin me write now. I'm much better at it.
Dear Benjamin, when you say Barok treats you well, what do you mean? He must be unfathomably rich.
Dear uniquartz,
It is hard to overstate how much happier I am with Barok at my side. He provides money for my experiments, takes me on regular walks around London, even brings me to fine dining restaurants with seemingly endless options for food. I can hardly believe how long the menus are. A few weeks ago, he bought me a pet canary, as he knows I adore birds! What a fine man.
He has measured me for new clothing, and I am pleased to announce that I now have some more proper suits. He also bought me new lab coats, goggles, gloves, tools, and various safety gear. He has given me a room of my own wherein I may conduct all of my experiments--even some of the rather explosive ones--provided I keep water within the room to put out any fires I may cause.
He also offered me my own bedroom, but I felt as though that would be imposing too much. I offered to sleep on the couch, but he asked if I would prefer to sleep in his bed instead. I couldn't say no to such an offer... his bed is very comfortable. And on occasion, he wraps an arm around me and pulls me close. I believe it's because he's so cold all the time...
Fondly, Benjamin Dobinbough
to Benjamin- you sound very fond of Barok. What made you want to get back in contact with him after ten years?
Dear Uniquartz,
You are quite the astute observer! I am rather fond of Barok... The two of us were very close friends in our years at university. He is the closest friend I've ever had! One of the only friends I've ever had...
Oh, my... I can think of only three friends... well, that is to say, three human friends... that I have ever had. That is rather worrying. Perhaps I should get out more. (Not to mention one of those friends tried to ruin my dreams...)
That being said, I had missed him greatly. He invited me to visit him in his home and I could not turn down such an offer. I have struggled with money in the past, and he is helping me to save my pennies. As I said, he is a very, very kind man. I care deeply for him.
Best, Benjamin Dobinbough
Rosie, how would you describe yourself?
Dear uniquartz,
That's an interesting question! I think I would say I'm adventurous, and silly, and brave... People have told me that I'm pretty, but that doesn't really matter to me. If my looks have nothing to do with my ability to sing, dance, talk, laugh, run... why should I care?
I also would like to think of myself as a good older sister and a good friend!
Thank you!! Rosie
Hey, Hosonaga. Have you ever considered getting that cough checked out?
Dear Uniquartz,
What do you mean? I am perfectly, fine, it hardly bothers--
Ahem. Excuse me. I have not visited a doctor, though when Dr. Watson was dining with us, I did happen to cough while around him. He stated that it was something that would most certainly kill me. But, he is not a doctor for the living! He was a doctor for the dead.
Though, now that I think of it, perhaps he's seen some people who have died to my condition.... I really should go see someone about this...
Signed, Detective Satoru Hosonaga
