Dear United States,
I hope this email finds you well. I couldn't help but notice some unsettling developments in your life recently, and as your upstairs neighbor and friend, I felt the need to reach out.
It's been hard to ignore the noise from your past relationship with that abusive ex-boyfriend. You were so brave to leave him four years ago, especially after that terrifying January 6 incident. But now, I've heard whispers that you might be considering getting back together with him. Is that true?
I remember how hard it was for you, and for all of us who care about you, when he was around. His actions and the chaos he brought into your life were not only harmful to you but also affected those around you, including us upstairs. We thought we had lost the warm, friendly neighbor we knew.
Please think carefully about this decision. We all want what's best for you, and it's painful to see you possibly walking back into a situation that caused so much hurt and turmoil. If you need someone to talk to, I'm always here.
Take care and stay safe.
Sincerely,
Canada
Chers États-Unis,
J'espère que cet e-mail vous trouvera bien. Je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher de remarquer récemment des développements troublants dans votre vie, et en tant que voisin et ami du dessus, j’ai ressenti le besoin de vous tendre la main.
Il a été difficile d’ignorer le bruit de votre relation passée avec cet ex-petit-ami violent. Vous avez eu le courage de le quitter il y a quatre ans, surtout après le terrifiant incident du 6 janvier. Mais maintenant, j’ai entendu des rumeurs selon lesquelles vous envisageriez peut-être de vous remettre avec lui. Est-ce vrai?
Je me souviens à quel point c'était dur pour toi, et pour nous tous qui tenons à toi, quand il était là. Ses actions et le chaos qu'il a apporté dans votre vie vous ont non seulement été préjudiciables, mais ont également affecté votre entourage, y compris nous à l'étage. Nous pensions avoir perdu le voisin chaleureux et amical que nous connaissions.
Veuillez réfléchir attentivement à cette décision. Nous voulons tous ce qu’il y a de mieux pour vous, et il est douloureux de vous voir revenir dans une situation qui a causé tant de souffrance et de troubles. Si vous avez besoin de parler à quelqu'un, je suis toujours là.
Prenez soin de vous et restez en sécurité.
Sincèrement,
Canada
