Blessing

Dear Misaki,

It's been a while. I'm writing this slightly tipsy, with a glass of wine in hand.

I heard you're getting married. Congratulations. You finally found your ideal partner. I was surprised.

A man who listens to everything you say, doesn't interfere in your doings, earns enough for monthly first-class trips abroad, and has no interest in other women - such a man really exists, huh?

You must have become even more beautiful and intelligent since our split. Otherwise, the math just doesn't add up.

I guess you'll have the wedding you always talked about. I'm genuinely glad that I don't have to be part of it as the main character.

I truly wish you a life filled with happiness in your new journey. There's more I'd like to say, but I've run out of blue cheese, so I'll leave it here.

Wishing the two of you eternal happiness. (Though your 'eternity' seems to last less than two years)

From Ken, who was freed from 18 months of hard labor last month.
