[There are only two things written on an otherwise blank sheet of paper: a single line of text in the middle and a two-word prompt in the bottom right corner.]

Why did the pirate go to the Caribbean?

He wanted some arr & arr!

You probably noticed that things kind of got turned on their heads around here recently. If you somehow managed to miss the reveal, I would go ask a friend about what happened as soon as you're done reading this. Perhaps even before. I don't know how long you've been here, so I don't know if you are used to to the fact that things tend to suck big time around here 9/10 times. But I didn't send you this to talk about how terrible everything is. More like the exact opposite is true.

I don't know who you are, and to tell you the truth: I picked your mailbox at random (Maybe you should try playing slots some time.) But I sent you this letter to tell you not to give up. I know learning the truth made everything look pretty hopeless right now. But I promise you that this isn't the end. The truth is always better than a lie, even if the lie is the prettier of the two. I am not psychic so I have no idea if the end will be in a year like Ruana claims or if we will reach it sooner. But I do know this: if at any point you give up, you will never make it that far. Game over. Things won't go the way she wants, because we can come up with a much better ending than than the garbage she has written.

Everything is going to be ok. So don't lose hope, don't give up, and most importantly: don't forget how to smile.
