Some letters were found after a search of the Gritt's house, these seemed to be exchanged between Milo and Gaige at recesses and then later taken home at stored under a floorboard in Ganges closest. The following text has been translated from Codesh directly to English:

(08/19/2017) Dear Milo,

I'm writing this in math class, I'm having trouble with my multiplication tables, I was very as smart as you, maybe you can help me again before our practise session. God- for someone who has been going to summer school for years and years, I'm not very good at this stuff. Anyway, remember those Transporters we saw by the river last night and what they were saying? I was right, they were speaking English. It's a language that the Normies in North America speak, dad told me. I knew I understood some of what they were saying, I'd read some of those words in the English books dad brought me. He said, "Go for it, don't be shy, man." I think Shy-Man means lovely friend (Jiyum Jamour = lovely friend, which people in Amalya call their partners. Kinda like a boyfriend or a girlfriend uwu). It's really cool, I think that's what I'm gonna call you from now on. Shy-Man...also remember that crate one of the Transporters was carrying. It was full of those weird red apples, turns out they're not apples after all. I have a book all about cool Normie plants and vegetables, they're called Tomatoes. It's a new Vegetable that they decided to bring over. Oh, the bell just rang, I'm coming to give this to you. Once I do, run back home, Miss Lipson wasn't too happy about you being on the property during school hours last time.

(10/31/2017) Dear Shy-Man,

Happy Halloween! If you don't understand, today is a Normie holiday called Halloween. Kids dress up as cool things like Aliens and doctors and stuff. They also get lots of candy! I was thinking tonight me, you and dad could make so cool costume for fun and go to the store to buy some candy from the store. Did you hear about the news? In Canada, there's this new superheroine squad called Power X! Lil Diany X, Tomido X and two new heroes named Neko X and Zaruku X are in it too! It's so cool. We don't get to see if we're suitable to be full-time superheroes until grade 8 so I have a long way to go get my invisibility skills are getting really good! Miss Lipson said so. Even if I'm not cut out to be a hero I much rather stay here with you, instead of fighting crime in the outside world, Because if I was, I would never see you again. I know it's your dream to become a superhero but imagine this: We both become Transporters, learn English and eat as many tomatoes as we want. We'll be together forever. Until that happens, we'll continue our practice sessions. See you after school! PS. Please ask dad to get the extra sour gummies, they're better.

                                                                                                                                                       Love, GG


(02/18/2018) Dear Gai,

Hi, I'm leaving this letter on your bed for when you come home. Sorry I wasn't there to collect your note at recess. I saw my "sister" Cassiah Dohna watching me, I'm scared she might tell my parents where I was or call the police to find me or something stupid like that. I went home and then ran away but don't worry I'm coming back. I was talking to dad, he's going on another trip tomorrow evening and won't be back until about the eleventh of March. Since tomorrow is my birthday I was hoping we could send him off and then watch the stars from the beautiful cliff we found last week. Oh and remember that news story about the disappearance of Power X, I know you're upset but what if we, when I become better at good magic, make our own group, duo more like. Since you're so good at your powers we should name it after you, what about...Gai and Satan. I thought Satan was a cool name for a badass superhero. Anyway, I'll be back before dinner, tell your dad in case he's worried.  

                                                                                                                                                 Love Shy-Man (AKA Satan)


about 5 months after the last letter something unexpected happened....something horrifying...

"The day was June 27th, 2018 after Gaige's last day of school," states Cassiah in mild tears. "I had never seen Milo so angry. They were standing on the beautiful hill before the cliff, Gaige was trying to teach him how to do something by she, too, looked angry."

Cassiah wrote done what their conversation was (Translated):

'I've been teaching for years!' cried Gaige. 'We're getting nowhere! I need you to concentrate, please!'

'I'M TRYING...I can't do it.'

'Yes, you can. you just-'

'STOP IT GAI! I CANT! It's not fair, you can go to school and train while I'm out here working my ass off trying to produce Something, ANYTHING!'

'Shy-man, I'm just trying to help! Don't yell at me.'

Milo didn't talk for a few minutes and just stared at her with an angry disgusted look on his face.

'YOUR SO UNGRATEFUL.' she finally screamed.  'YOUR RIGHT! YOU WILL NEVER BE A HERO! LATELY YOU"VE JUST BEEN TREATING ME LIKE CRAP! I'M DONE HELPING YOU, YOUR A LOST CAUSE, DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK HOME-'

but before she could finish something happened, Milo's hands produced a large red bolt of something that looked like lightning, knocking Gaige backwards and out of sight. Milo stared down at his hands breathing heavily.

'I did it...' he breathed greedily.

He looked up at Gaige who was lying down on her back feet away.

'Gai! I did it!'

Gaige sat up looking furious. 'Not you didn't! you monster' she yelled suddenly. 'That was dark magic, you can't let your anger get to you or else dark magic will happen.'

'Whatever! We've been working for years, it's still magic! We can finally be the heroes we've always dreamed of-!'

'NO! do you really want to end up like your parents, like your stupid sister, evil and dark?'

'I don't really care-'

'Of course, you don't!' Milo was starting to get angry again. 'I knew you were always a hopeless case! no...I didn't mean that...but this way, you will never be a hero! always a villain...'

Milo, now fuming, stretched his hand shooting out hard beams of red light at Gaige. She was screaming and choking but he didn't stop until she screamed no more. He stopped and kneeled down beside her panting loudly.

"I couldn't believe my eye..." says Cassiah. "I screamed once I realized what he did, he saw me and yelled at me saying it was all my fault. He was crying and choking on his words, he was only 10 and I, 11. I watch as he ran to the river and jumped onto a leaving boat, he was knocked from the impact, that was the last time I ever saw him..."
