At approximately 2 o'clock in the morning on Sunday, May 30, a small white envelope is slipped under the door of P3. It's a completely normal envelope, the sort you'd find at any office. On the front, the name "Vlad" is written in large letters. Its back is sealed and also taped over with scotch tape. Inside the envelope is the following note. The note is handwritten on blank computer paper. Should Vlad compare it with the five others he has received from this name - if he still has them - he will find that the handwriting is identical.
Dear Vlad,
I have to say, I'm surprised. I never thought I'd see you again, never in a thousand years. We're from different worlds, you and I. You're the brooding, dark European. I'm the bubbly, callous American. Who would have thought that our worlds would collide not once, but twice? It's like a movie! And I think I know the ending. Or at least, I know the ending I want to see.
I am really so happy that I saw you in the lobby earlier tonight. Really, I'm tickled pink. I didn't think it was you at first, because it's been so long. I thought that maybe it was just somebody that looked like you. But when the light changed, I knew it. I knew it was you, Vlad, and I just had to send you this note.
Do you remember what we did when we met? I know I do, but it meant something to me. It was my second time, after all. I still remember her face when you twisted your knife the first time. She was so hideous then, but it was a train wreck sort of hideous. You can't look away from moments like that. You can only savor them. I learned that from you, Vlad. For that, I'm eternally grateful.
Have you gotten my letters? I've sent five, I know that. One after every time ever since we met. They're part of my ritual, I think. Do you have a ritual? I don't think I've ever asked you that. Though I suppose we have more time to chat now.
If you'd like to talk to me - and I hope you do - you can send me an e-mail.

I look forward to hearing from you, Vlad. We have so much to catch up on.
Your friend,
Max
