"To my dear big brother Albert,

If you're reading this, I hope it's because I've gone home and not because you're rifling through my things while I'm away (although I wouldn't put it past you to do something like that). If it is indeed the former, I want to apologize—I'd always kind of hoped that this time, you'd leave before I did. I guess things don't always work out the way you want them to, though, do they?

But more importantly, I want to say thank you. This place was troublesome, but I think it's because you were there that it became just a little bit bearable. (Okay, maybe more than a little bit.) I'd like to think I grew up a little, but even if I didn't, I still think it was worth every minute I spent here. I'm not sure if I was ever able to help you like I'd wanted, but you were certainly there for me more than I ever imagined you would be. Maybe you did it just to prove me wrong, or maybe you did it because you genuinely wanted to. Who really knows? But I'm thankful nonetheless. You're a great brother, Albert, and I'm sorry I ever thought otherwise.

I've thought about it, and while I really want to remember this place, I think I won't be too upset if I don't. This place didn't change us—we were already who we are before we got here—it just gave us more time. Maybe when the war is over, we'll be able to find that time again. Well, I'll try to find it, anyway, and I'll try to share it with you. I know that the person who looked out for me here is still there somewhere. If there's one thing I won't give up on, it's my brother.

Anyway, this is pretty wordy for a "see you later," isn't it? Sorry about that. Actually, I'd be pretty impressed if you read this far. But if you did, thanks again, and take care of yourself until we see each other again, okay? I won't be there now to keep you out of trouble, but I won't forgive you if something terrible happens while I'm gone.

Take care, dear brother,
Caesar S.

P.S. Don't use the medicine unless it's an emergency. I mean it! You don't want to waste it.
P.P.S. This is going to be embarrassing if I remember this. I love you."
