| Dear Zeni. Aren't you poor Tottsan! As for me, I'm staying at a super-first class Madison Hotel. If you want, why don't you come over? (rest of letter not shown) |
(skipped) Aren't you doing poorly, Pops? As for me, I'm staying at the super-posh Madison Hotel. If you want, why don't you come over? I'll buy you breakfast. My room is 1008. 10th floor. Your beloved Lupin. |
