Here's the letter Chiyo wrote to Timothy before she died. Dear Timothy Blakelain, If you just so happen to be reading this, then I’m most likely dead. Just so you know, my death isn’t your fault. I know we’ve talked together and I know you’ve always wished to be as famous and rich as me and my family, but let me tell you: It’s not as luxurious as you think. You see, my parents never saw me, Michi, or Ken as children. To them, we were just exhibits to make the family stand strong and to impress other prominent families. As for my siblings and my relatives, my siblings resent me for my hard work and my relatives kept their distance and hid behind a normal smile. The competitors for the Vloagula symphony competition always acted cold and avoided me wherever I went, except you. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were different. You were more social and didn’t seem to care about my fame, which I appreciated. I’m happy that we got along well, and honestly I thought we would be perfect for each other. My father, unfortunately, thought otherwise. He didn’t want me near you because of the fact that I had an arranged marriage and because you came from a middle class family. I tried convincing him, but he wouldn’t budge, even threatening to ruin you forever if I ever interacted with you again. He eventually agreed to let me spend time with you if I won first place for the competition until we had to go back home. I worked as hard as I could, although it did hurt me since I know you genuinely wanted the money. I was proud of you when you won, yet my parents were furious when I got 2nd place. That already was bad enough but then I overheard the truth: My father never wanted me to spend time with you and only wanted me to win to get the extra money and for himself before we flew back to Japan. At this point, I can’t do this anymore. If I’m going to die, I will leave you with one note. I love you, Timothy. You were everything I wanted to be, like I was everything you wanted to be. You were the most important person to me and I will always cherish you in my heart. With all that said, I wish for you to live happily without me. Farewell, Timothy Blakelain.
Love, Chiyo Jiyūhoshi It's tragic, really. I have nothing else to say except that. It's not really my place to speak on it. Garrett, however, has stated how he never thought this would come out. He always saw the Jiyūhoshi children as truly talented musicians who could accomplish much in life, with his biggest regret being how he wished that he had seen how poor the family dynamic was. I honestly agree with him a lot.
