Xiaoba Jr., even though you are just a Bell Toller right now, I have incredibly high hopes for you! If the day comes when you can read and write, then this letter will not have been written in vain.
First of all... well... I just want to thank you for keeping me company all these years! After Master and the others disappeared, I became such a strange person, thinking about weird things every single day. You were the only one I could talk to, even if you did not understand a single word. Alright, enough of the mushy stuff; now it is time to push you a little harder!
First: While I am away, guard the Overturned House for me! But do not actually hurt anyone who comes by; just give them a good scare. I know my mechanism tunings always have glitches, but after all the things I mutter to you every night, surely some of it must have rubbed off on you, right?
Second: I am giving you the monumental task of learning how to speak! Everyone says it is impossible, but I treat you as my friend, and of course I want to hear your thoughts. Do not worry, I will work hard to adjust your internal structures so you can produce sound!
Third: I have planted a lot of flowers and grass around you, hoping you will not get bored while guarding the house.
Fourth: Do not forget to toll the bell. A lot of people rely on your chimes for the time!
Xiaoba Jr.:
If you never manage to read this letter, that is not a bad thing either. It just means I will remain the only weird brain left in the world.
But if one day I succeed, and you truly understand these words, please always remember this final rule: Xiaoba and Xiaoba Jr. are the best of friends!
