[The message over the handsets is short, succinct, and to the point. Long story short: the detective is bored, so the first thought to capture some of his idle curiosity gets put to the Foreigners at large.]

Who else has received letters from themselves?

I did.

[And he's definitely not going to share more without prodding.]

[This is the first private reply. Gene's response is short and to the point, but the very fact he chooses to keep it private at all indicates some part of him wants to talk about it.]

Can you give me any details?

[wrathfulkhan]

It said...things were going to be okay.

[He's still not sure he believes it, but it gives him a little hope.]

[A short pause.]

Well, there you go.

[wrathfulkhan]

I'm not sure I believe it. It sounds a little too good to be true.

[skeletonenigma]

Are you the sort of person who would tell yourself things were going to be okay if it wasn't true?

[wrathfulkhan]

No. I'm just concerned this is something I conjured up from the Dreaming by hoping it's true.

I doubt it. If you were the only one receiving a letter, maybe, but there are a number of us who don't understand ours, or don't like what we're being told, or can't understand why we're being told anything. The only common denominator is that we're the only ones who could have written them.
