hi. [...] given the whole "we're partners and we've got a right to know what stuff's going on with each other" thing there's a couple things i reckon i oughta tell you. one of em's gonna get your concerned face going and idk if i can deal with that right now, like from the getgo. so i wanna tell you here first and you can think about whatever and then if you REALLY want to frown all thoughtfully at me after i'll let you.

but if that's cool with you, idk which to start with so choose like... past or future. pretend we're playing with a cootie catcher idk
