"U-uh..." he starts shakily, "I feel like I should probably warn you that I know your penpal pretty well. He um. He actually says it himself in his letter. I... here, I'll just read it."

God, he hopes he won't ruin that now but he should probably be the one to break the news about their past before something like what happened with Edgar happens again.
