“Your skin is blue, Sadie.”

And now there’s you. This whole time, it’s been you, and I didn’t even realize. In retrospect, it makes sense, doesn’t it? In order to beat the enemy, you have to understand them intimately. You have to observe them, learn their weaknesses, memorize their every word, track their progress, predict their next move.

All of which is to say I really hope this finds you.

And I hope you find me too.

Sadie

Love,

Julius
