Dear Daisuke

The fevers are lessening, but I feel that I must be hallucinating. Takeshi is dead? How is this possible? I once saw him lift a grown Mongolian bull from a ditch on his shoulders. He was virtually immune to every bacteria, virus, toxin and poison known to man (he did this by consuming small portions of his own feces, but that is another story). You must tell me if you are confabulating again, Daisuke. Do not lead me astray as you did that time in upper Uzbekistan. If Takeshi has truly passed, tell me how this has happened so that I may come pay my respects.
