letter to papika

[sating]

---

Papika,

I would like to apologize that the majority of the conversations we had were ones where I was investigating you. That was quite rude, and it's not the kind of impression that I like to make. I never did have time to do this, as I was kept busy from when the subject first came up until now, but this gift comes with a sentiment of "better late than never." Then again, your feet may be so calloused by now that you may not need them.

Regardless, I wish you the best of luck as you finish out the rest of this affair.

Sincerely,
Hannibal Lecter
