Dear Ruth,
Keep my brother safe. I know I did something horrible and traumatic for him and you but I'm sorry. Whatever you do, do not go back to our house. Maurin cannot go through what I went through. So please, I beg of you, keep my little brother safe.
I also wanted to thank you in this letter. Thank you for being there for my brother, and for me. You're a very strong woman, and we both know that. And I'm very sorry for the little time we had to get to know each other, but I'm very glad I met you.
I hope life treats you with kindness from now on, and I look forward to seeing you in the afterlife.
-your friend, Ivan.
