Dear Protagonist,
Lying to me on page 5. I appreciate that. I do. It means you just might be alive. Alive is good.
But before we get too much farther, I think you do need to know a couple things:
1. I considered killing off your parents but decided against it.
2. I’m still not completely sure you’re the right protagonist.
These are not threats. I only want to make sure we understand each other. You say you’re not sure yet just what you might do.
I’m not sure what I might do yet, either.
Respectfully,
Me
