What if Sylar had succeeded in murdering Peter in Mohinder's apartment that night? How would it have affected those who were closest to him?
The following 'story' will be made up of letters written to Peter after his death.
LETTERS TO PETER
FROM: NATHAN
I never appreciated you. I think that's what bothers me the most.
Sure, you could be a little idealistic from time to time, and you were gifted in the art of frustrating me to no end. But, now I see the problem was with me, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to let go of this guilt.
I was always the serious one, the one the world expected to move mountains; but the reality is, you were the better man.
Until lately, I never knew what it was to really care about anyone but myself, and if it wasn't for you, I probably couldn't even say that now.
You were the rock, the one who gave me the drive to be as successful as I've been. From the day they brought you home from the hospital, you always looked at me like I could do anything; and because of that, I could.
The day you told me you could fly, you remember? You jumped off a multi-story building and almost killed yourself. You wanted to prove you were different, meant for something bigger. But Peter, anyone who knows you could have told you that.
I know I never gave you much praise, never supported you enough, but I always loved you. I just wanted to protect you, though I see now that I just hindered your growth.
You were meant for greatness, Little Brother, and I see that now.
I just wish it weren't too late to tell you.
