You shouldn’t watch it.

They’re vultures picking at ghosts.

There’s so much I want to tell you, but I can’t. Not now. Everything’s being recorded, spun, monetized. Every word feels dangerous.

But if it means anything—I didn’t do what they’re saying.

I was there, but I didn’t do it.

And sometimes I think that’s worse. Because I still see it when I close my eyes.

I’m sorry you’re getting dragged into this. I didn’t mean for that to happen. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.

You were supposed to be safe from all of it.

Anyway, I should go. PR call in the morning. Eddie says to keep quiet. I’m trying.

Thank you for writing back.

You don’t know what that does to me.
