Gilbert

Continuation — The Letter That Never Arrived

The days passed quickly, and now (your name) was about to travel.

The bags were already packed, and her friend accompanied her as they prepared to leave. Even while trying to focus on the trip, there was one thing that wouldn't leave (your name)'s mind: the letter.

She was certain that Gilbert had received her.

Just before leaving, her friend met Gilbert and, without knowing what had really happened, casually asked:

Gilbert, did you receive the letter that (your name) sent?

Gilbert stopped immediately.

A letter?

Her friend stared at him, confused.

Yes... her letter. She sent it a few days ago.

Gilbert frowned.

— Which letter?

Her friend's expression changed.

Wait... you didn't receive it?

No. I didn't receive any letter.

Meanwhile, (your name) was nearby, about to leave, unaware that Gilbert had never even seen a single word of that letter.

The friend looked at her and realized that something was very wrong.

• (your name)...

She approached, while Gilbert continued to look at the two of them, increasingly confused.

What was in that letter?

Gilbert asked, now trying to understand why no one had told him that.

But time was running out.

The journey was about to begin, and (your name) might have to leave without ever knowing why Gilbert hadn't responded.

And Gilbert, for his part, had just discovered that there was a letter that could have changed everything.
