To Gaius
Dear Gaius,
Thank you for everything you've done for me. You've always been there for me but I'm sad to say I'll no longer be there for you. Stop setting a place for me at the table, get rid of my things, stop waiting for me to come home. I'm not coming home. I'm fine, of course, but I can't come back.
I want you to know that I'll always consider you my father, and that, even if I live to be a thousand years old, I'll never forget you. You're the greatest man I've ever known and I assume ever will know.
I love and miss you,
Merlin
