NINE: Hello, Ten.

NINE: It’s Nine again with another pointless letter.

NINE: How are you today? How are you in general? Hopefully wherever you are, they’re treating you well.

NINE: I’m doing alright myself. They gave me a new wheelchair the other day. The only difference is, it’s approximately .00000000000347% less cranky than the old one. But you know what? I’ll take it.

NINE: Maybe I’ll even put some stickers on it.

NINE: There was a party here tonight. Don’t remember what for - maybe one of the benefactors’ birthdays? - but it doesn’t really matter.

NINE: I fell asleep mid-way so I missed all the more crazy parts, but I did manage to catch a glimpse of the night’s stars.

NINE: The Voyager brothers.

NINE: I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of them, but they’re a big deal in here. Hyugens has a poster of them on their wall. Got it signed, even. And Juno says they’re too mainstream for her tastes, but I saw her at the concert, and just from the way she looked at them… let’s say, she’s a fan as well, even if she doesn’t admit it.

NINE: But yeah, I can’t say I get them, per se, but they certainly did put on a show. They’re doing this thing called the Grand Tour, so they’re travelling from orphan home to orphan home, to introduce the new generation to music or something. Maybe they’ll visit yours, too.

NINE: I asked them to say hi to you, if they ever meet you.

NINE: I hope they do.

NINE: Meet you, that is.

NINE: Music is a strange thing, isn’t it? There are so many different styles and genres, yet in general, I’d say that it’s one of the few things that unifies humanity as a whole.

NINE: I mean, look at the Voyagers. They’ve been doing the tour for a while now, travelling around the country, and in every single place they’ve been, they found some kind of emotional response to their music.

NINE: Unless, you know, they don’t actually give a shit about the fans and are just doing this for publicity. ‘Hey, look, we care about the orphans, now give us money so we can buy more sunglasses and high-waist jeans!’

NINE: But even if that’s the case, their music still speaks to people. And people who aren’t Voyager fans usually have other favourites. Curie is crazy about will.i.am. You know about me and Steely Dan.

NINE: I hope, wherever you are, there is music.

NINE: Wouldn’t be the same without it.
