Dear Master Legend,
I am very aware of your history. But I also know you were once told whatever roles you played during Caraval would affect who you are as a person. And I recently heard that after that woman killed herself, you decided you no longer wished to be a villain, and you were keen on becoming more the hero type. This is your chance at redemption.

Dear Miss Dragna,
I am beyond redemption. However, depending on how far you’re willing to go, I’ve thought about it, and I may be able to work with you.

Scarlett cursed her sister for having written such foolish words. Foolish. Reckless. Irrational. Thoughtless—
Scarlett’s anger stilled as she read the next letter.

Dear Miss Dragna,
I take it you believe someone loves you enough to wish you back to life?
