To my mentor, my father, my friend

Dear Giver,

I would just like to say thank you, thank you for always being there for me. You have been like a father figure when others disappointed me. You made me understand that things needed to change. When you first showed me what release really was, I was angry and sad. Sad because my parents lied to me and angry because you showed me. I know it was wrong to blame you back then, but I did. The truth hurts, and ironically I'm one of the only people who know that. Now I've comprehended what our community really is; a place filled with emo

tionless murderers, but with no will. Yes I am aggravated that they live this way, but they do not understand what they are doing is wrong. A lot like children in a way. Though I will miss you terribly I now understand that I must leave. I must finish what all the previous Receivers and Givers tried to do, to make a change. I am bringing Gabriel with me because he is scheduled for release. I couldn't just leave him here, would you? I know it will make the journey a bit more difficult but I will manage. Right now I am savoring every memory of courage that I have because I know that they will disappear in a while, hopefully after I reach my destination; elsewhere. I am leaving because I want t

o make a change, but mostly because I need to get away. I'm ashamed to admit it but I can't stand being here anymore, I can't stand the lies, the deaths, the emotion-less state of it all. A part of me wants to take you with me and leave these people here alone and in chaos, and I know I already told you this. I just can't get the idea out of my head, though. My parents who lie to me, my friends who kill people for a living, and worst of all, the people who know what's going on and refuse to change. Please don't think any less of me. I hope to see you soon, my friend. I know that it is not very likely but one of the most important things you have taught me is to hope.

So 'till that day,
