[letter three: shinnosuke]
Shinnosuke,
I hope Percy is the one reading this letter to you. I asked him if he would. (Sorry, Percy!) If he's reading it, then that means I'm dead. Someone killed me, or I got executed for killing someone else. I don't think I'd make a very good Bandit, though. We both know that by now, don't we? I wouldn't be able to do it, and I'd just make a big mess for everyone else. I'm pretty good at that, huh?
But every time I have, you've been there for me. From the very beginning, in a way. I don't think I realized how much I was relying on you till it was too late, and I couldn't picture my life without you anymore. Someone told me I should tell you how I felt, but it never seemed very fair, so I kept it to myself. Somehow I think you knew anyway, though. That's okay. Like I said before, all I ever really wanted was to walk beside you. I'm glad I got to, for as long as I did.
Don't be sad, Shinnosuke. You'll see me again soon, after you and Percy and everyone else win this game. I know that if the two of you work together, you'll make everything alright. You should tell him all about what we were working on, okay? In the meantime, I'll be cheering for you guys, even if you can't see me! I'll write you letters, so you better not mess up. Don't you dare even think about giving in. You might be a big jerk and an idiot and really frustrating ... but you're also a really good, kind person, someone smart and capable and really strong who tells the absolute worst jokes, and I'm really glad I got to meet you. Don't let me down!
Live. Live till the end of this game, and come get me. I'll be waiting for you, okay?
Don't give up. I know you can do this.
I'll see you when this is all over. I'll give you a really big hug, and you'll pretend you hate it, but you'll let me. I hope when that happens, I can see you really smile.
I'm going to tell you something someone really important once told me. "Keep moving forward and never look back. You have something worth struggling for."
Um–
[a couple different things are crossed out. written rather sloppily, as if in haste:]
I love you!
