These can be found at the bottom of Oda's trunk, if Leon or anyone cares to go through it. They're folded up with the name of the person they're addressed to on top.
You've been given this letter by someone strange. Maybe a man who owns seven dogs and complains about being catnip for serial killers. Maybe a girl who hunts bears in her spare time. Maybe a man who's bigger than you and I put together and once promised to finish a rhyme for me. Maybe someone else.
Whoever it was, they're a friend of mine. Please treat them well and believe what they say, since they came all the way to deliver this letter to you. You're not usually the one asked for protection, but don't let them come to harm.
The reason they delivered this is that I'm dead.
I'm sorry. I tried my best to survive and return to you, but something happened. I won't be able to try your new recipe, or to drink with you and Ango again. You were right when you said taking pictures in the bar would be our last chance to leave behind evidence.
You were my friend. One of my two dearest friends in the world. To the end, I'm glad that I knew you.
Please give Ango his letter if you were given it, and please stay with him. You must both be in pain right now, and the pain will be less if shared. It's my last request.
