To: Dilaw2nd of May, 2026Thank youClosure

If you’re reaching this part, it means you’ve already read the chapter entitled "Bughaw." Just so you know, I’m not pressuring you or forcing you to say anything; I simply want to ask a favor of you. We can discuss that favor in a moment. First, I want to say that this might feel a bit different from the intention of my first letter. You may find this inconsistent, but when I wrote that first letter, I was already trying to move on from you, even though a part of me still held onto a glimmer of hope that there might be a chance for us. Now, I am writing to you again, but with a different kind of courage. This time, I am truly ready to accept things as they are and move forward. Actually, liking you has been quite surprising. I have met different versions of myself and realized that I am capable of feeling these things. I used to be so good at keeping things to myself that I thought moving on would be easy. However, I underestimated the situation; maybe I’ve just been fooling myself into thinking I could move on from these feelings, but I haven't. I don’t know what’s holding me back or why I can’t fully push myself to let go. That’s why I am writing this to you. I’m holding onto the hope that if I finally tell you all of this, I will have the courage to move forward. I know you aren't obligated to feel anything for me, but I need to give this closure to myself. Here is the favor: please reject me if you don’t feel the same way. I am not pressuring you to like me, and of course, if you’re entertaining someone else right now, I will accept defeat. I promise I won’t bother you; just please reject me if that’s what your heart wants.

This letter moved you?

Dear you is free and independent. A coffee keeps it running.
