Kazutora's POV

A/N: From this point on it will only capture their letters and their inner thoughts, going about a school day or a life in prison can be repetitive. Some chapters may have their routine only when it's necessary. ________________________________________________________________________________

I received my letter from (Y/N), and I couldn't help but quickly rip the letter open. I was happy that she decided to write back, meaning I didn't scare her away. I unfolded it and two pictures fell out, and I picked them up. My mouth dropped open in surprise as I stared at them.

"You okay?" I turned to Toshi and he looked at the photos in my hand.

"NO WAY! She is totally hot! You lucky bastard..."

"Shh~" I shushed him and held the pictures to me to keep his prying eyes away. He held his hands up and went back to his own letter. I glanced at the pictures again and felt the tips of my ears blush. She is really beautiful, how did I get lucky? Ugh, no bad Kazutora... can't and shouldn't develop a crush on someone you don't even know in person.

I began to read the letter and my smile only grew wider. She was so innocent and sweet and I absolutely adored it.

Dear (Y/N),

You are from America? Wow, that is amazing. Trust me when I say, you really don't wanna know... I am not the same as I was. At least I would hope not. It's been a few weeks since I have been in here now. But I doubt it can be considered a hobby more of a disgusting skill. I really don't wanna tell you, just because I don't want you to think of me as someone weird. You have a brother? Do you only live with him? Is that weird to ask? I swear I won't stalk you or anything, I just wanna learn more about you.

I am surprised you are so willing to accept me, I am sure they warned you that I... killed someone and all of my past mistakes. Yet you are accepting me. I really am lucky, since you are looking past this. Thank you, I want to be able to open up to you about anything. With these letters, I feel I can be myself when talking to you. It's a nice feeling. If we do meet in the future, I would love to taste your cooking. I am not much of a cook myself honestly, so I can't help you with that.

Your pet is so cute... you are too if I am being honest. This guy name Toshi is so sufferable, he is my only friend in here though. But he looked over my shoulder at your pictures and practically yelled that you were and I quote 'hot'. I wanted to punch him, but I ended up just holding the pictures to my chest so he couldn't see them anymore and told him to shut up.

I hope you don't mind that I keep these photos. They are really good pictures, and I don't wanna just throw them away. Seeing your smile, made me smile. I feel it would make these days more bearable. If not, let me know and I will toss them. I attached a photo of me as well. So you can see what I look like. Nothing too exciting since it's taken with me in this jail uniform. Not the best photo honestly. But it's better than nothing I guess.

Being in a gang is nothing exciting unless you enjoy fighting. At first, I was part of a gang called Toman, but after... uhm, I killed my friend's brother. It was an accident but not an accident. It's a long story, don't wanna bore you. I got sent to Juvie, then they released me. And I joined another gang called Valhalla. There was a fight between Toman and Valhalla. I stabbed a different friend but he ended up surviving but then stabbed himself and killed himself so it wouldn't be on my conscious. Even after everything he was thinking of me. God, I am a horrible person. How could I do that to my friend? I don't even know what my future holds for me... I think that is enough about me. I hope you still don't see me differently.

What do you plan for your future? If you thought about it? Tell me more about you. What activities do you do at school? What is your home life like or brother like? I have no siblings. Tell me everything! And I will try and answer your questions as well~
