This one-shot is supposed to mirror the letter scene from Moonrise Kingdom. The letters are a general timeline, some responses are more in the future than others. I always loved how the little snippets gave a clear window to Suzy and Sam's friendship/romance.
I thought I could try doing something similar here.
Dear Odin,
You were my favorite animal in the play. I think a blackbird fits you really well. In the letter I have put….
