John's Belongings

[silverguitarhero]

In John's cell, what might be most noticeable is the book lying on his bed. It seems to be a book about playing guitar, with several examples of notation and how it correspond to the position of your hands. A few pages have been bookmarked with slips of paper, and there are also several larger sheets of paper sandwiched in between.

Music Sheets

[Most of the sheets have the lyrics to the various songs John's been heard singing written down, with additional notations on top. Some of them have been scribbled over, or have multiple options written above the lyrics. There's also a note written on the first one saying, "It's probably a good idea to play these myself as example first of all."]

To everyone,

As the week passes, though I have no belief in our captor's promises or his ability to fulfil them, I've begun a-fearing that someone will try anyway. So I thought it best to leave some record in case the worse comes to pass. If you're the one a-reading this, Rideaux, all I ask is that you give these letters to the ones they are addressed to, or at least let them know they exist.

I believe in all of you. I believe you'll find a way out of this, without any more death.

To Oda,

If you're a-reading this now, I must apologize that I've lost my chance to teach your son the guitar. But if it is still whole, I would like him to have it. I pray this book will be of some use to him as well.

Despite what you've told me of your profession, I feel you're truly a good man. And I believe you will make it through this.

To Leon,

I ask that you continue your practice even if I am no longer here to guide you. I've found this book, though how well a substitute it can be I do not know. All I ask is that once you escape this place you pass on my guitar to Oda's son, who also has a wish to learn.

I suggest that you learn fast the Last Judgement song. It is a strong proof against evil, and moreso with silver strings to back it up.

To Cheryl,

I do not wish to leave my Evadare behind, when I've barely recalled anything about her. If you meet her, may I ask that you be the one to tell her what happened? I also ask that you cherish your family, and give them all the love you can when you see them again, though I suppose that is more a formality.

To Mozu

To Mozu,

I am sorry I could not teach you more about the songs and food of my home. I also regret that I'll never be able to visit yours as I promised. But I ask that you keep a-holding on to hope. If you meet my Evadare, I ask you show her the same courtesy you offered me.

If we ever had a daughter, I would be truly proud if she were to be like you.

-John
