Hi! If you're the person who wrote death match, I wanted to write to you. I'm not sure if you're even active here anymore or if you'll ever read this, but I wanted to say this, even if I'm screaming into the void. Death match is a very nostalgic story to me, I remember reading it as it was coming out from a now lost account. I was holding my breath every chapter waiting for the next one to come out. I have incredibly fond memories pulling one nighters to read it, being on the edge of my seat every chapter.
Vocaloid in general fills me with pleasant but bittersweet nostalgia. I remember being obsessed with Fukase and Piko so much that I treated them like glorified OCs. I remember loving your interpretations of them and their playful dynamic. It was my own humble beginning as a writer, because I turned my vocaloid headcanons into what are now fully fledged OCs. I was dying to see how other people portrayed them, and since our perception of my favourites were similar, I fell in love with your story. In a bout of nostalgia, I came back looking for it, first combing through vocaloid related tags and then trying to uncover long lost passwords (which was futile). I can't lie, I got sad upon the realisation that you took it down, but at the end of the day you're the author and you know best.
It's so bizarre to me that it's now been, what, six or seven years? I was a teen back then and now I'm in university, yet it feels like yesterday. I don't know what's more inconceivable, how long it's been or how fast time has passed! I wonder what you're doing now and how much you've improved as a writer. Even if death match wasn't a literary masterpiece, I can tell you have a creative bone in your body. If you've kept practicing all these years, I'm sure you've become one hell of an author now.

Again, I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I accept this risk. I still want to thank you for making those old, boring summer nights interesting and whimsical. Thank you for filling my empty days with comfort and suspense. Thank you for creating something with integrity, purity of intention and unfiltered passion. Thank you for making something that, albeit imperfect, left such a lasting impression that I fondly carry it all the way into my 20s! That's all from me. I sincerely hope you're doing well.
