Ivan's Last Letter

Death of the Outsider

Version 1

My Devoted Winstead,

If you’re reading this, I’ve passed on to the other side. My negligence gave the Outsider’s enemies the key to our most secret treasure. I failed him. Failed him, and failed my Eyeless comrades. My life has no purpose now. What joy can I find in lofty ambitions or earthy pleasures when the Void’s condemnation awaits me? No, I must look into its cold, eternal darkness and ask forgiveness. The vial of Eleuterio’s blood will hasten my journey there. Perhaps in the Void I’ll discover the means to redeem myself.

Thank you for your years of faithful service. You’ve been my closest confidante, dear to me as a brother. Bury me in the gray cashmere suit and do what you will with the rest of my belongings. None of it matters now.

-Ivan Jacobi

Version 2

My Devoted Winstead,

If you’re reading this, I’ve passed on to the other side. My negligence gave the Outsider’s enemies the key to our most secret treasure. I failed him. Failed him, and failed my Eyeless comrades. My life has no purpose now. Jorge destroyed my lofty ambitions with his headlines. Soon, the Grand Guard will arrest me for murder. Better to face the Void’s wrath now and forever, on my own terms. I must look into its cold, eternal darkness and ask forgiveness.

Thank you for your years of faithful service. You’ve been my closest confidante, dear to me as a brother. I’ll hang myself so you won’t have to clean up a bloody mess. Bury me in the gray cashmere suit and do what you will with the rest of my belongings. None of it matters now.

-Ivan Jacobi
