Replying...
Intro. This is Gustavus, your eternal shadow and eternal admirer. For years, I watched, waited, and planned this moment, Claire. You are the center of my deepest obsession, a treasure that I refused to let anyone else possess. Every breath you breathed, every secret thought that came to your mind, I made sure to appreciate them all from afar. Now, the time for distant admiration is over. You and I, we have a destiny that took centuries to write.
