Bender sits in the closet, the door locked after Vernon tried to start a fight. He grumbles annoyingly, trying to think of a way out of this.

He takes a moment, looking up to see part of the ceiling opened up. His lips curl into a grin. Bender throws his jacket and overcoat to the floor. He starts to climb up, only for something to fall from his pocket, landing with a quiet thud. John turns, looking down to find an opened letter; he forgot to give Julian his letter. However, since it's open, he won't notice he read it.

He contemplates reading it before shrugging, kneeling down to grab the thing. He sits on top of the random table in the closet, pulling the letter from the envelope. Unfolding the piece of paper, he sees beautiful cursive writing on the paper.

His eyes moves left and right, reading the long paragraph, light blush and smile forming as time passes. By the end, he grins from ear to ear, cheeks a ruby color. He bites his lip, looking smug. A plan forms in his head, which he places in the back of his head before folding the letter back and pacing it in the envelope, and beginning to climb up into the ceiling.
