Here's the letter that Rose carries with her. I decided to post it in its own chapter so that my readers can refer to it whenever other Role Holders are reading it or whenever they want!
Dear Role Holder,
I'm fairly positive that the first to read this letter will be Julius but this letter is meant for all of you, if you are the same characters I remember fondly. I can't express how much I have missed each and everyone of you. There hasn't been a day to go by that I haven't thought about the Country of Hearts. The memories I made there with all of you made my years in my world joyful. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed with you, but don't worry. I lived a happy and forfilled life here in my world. Which brings me to the sad news I hesitate to tell you. If you ever cared anything for me at all, I know it will break your hearts and I'm sorry for that. My dear friends, if you are reading this, I, Alice Liddell, have died.
After I left the Country of Hearts, I returned to the flow of my own world, with some difficulty mind you. Either way, I ended up getting married and having three sons. One of those sons gave me two beautiful grandchildren. I shared my memories with all of you to my children and grandchildren as bedtime stories, but only one truly believed in Wonderland, I think and she stands before you now. Yes, she is my granddaughter, but I won't tell you her name here. She is a very shy girl and easily frightened. She has trouble connecting when she meets someone new and I think that making her tell you her name will make getting over her introversion a bit easier.
I lived a long life and age is what ultimately took me. When I felt death coming, I called out to Nightmare in my dreams, hoping that he could hear me outside the confines of the Country of Hearts or Clover. I had almost given up hope before he answered my call. I ask him to take my grandchild to Wonderland after I died. Though I cannot say that your world is the safest place, but I believe that, even if only my name makes it so, that the Country of Hearts will be kinder to her than my world could possibly be. Her shyness and antisocial disposition does not mix well in my world. I sincerely hope that, perhaps, you will help bring her out of her shell, if only a little bit. I want you all to become something special to her, as you did to me. She did not make friends in what would be known to her and I as "reality". Save for her distant older brother, I was very literally all the child had. Please, cushion my loss for her. Comfort her as I'm sure she will be willing to comfort you. She really is such a kind, good girl.
I have insisted that she play the Game, you all know which one I'm talking about. Whether she says in Wonderland when it has ended, I left up to her. I don't know who will give her the Medicine of Hearts but after she takes it, she will become just as I was. I hope that she will learn from you, get stronger, and become a more confident girl when all is said and done.
Please take care of her everyone. I'm counting on you.
With the Sincerest Love,
Alice Liddell Hargreaves
