Ah gosh, I don't even know what to say!
I hope, at least, that many players in this game saw me as a close confidante. And I'm not saying they were wrong to, but my heart always belonged to you.
It was a familiar pattern. It's not the first time I've developed a close bond with someone who liked me enough to keep me in the loop on a vote I was supposed to be blindsided on or vice versa. It actually seems to happen with remarkable frequency.
You have to trust someone in this game, or so they say. And you trusted me, and I trusted you, and it was a match made in Survivor heaven.
I loved how honest we could be with each other, even about how we could make each other viable endgame options for ourselves so as to be able to go all the way. And obviously, I loved our off-topic conversations that brought us so close in the first place, but what we did with that jumping off point was important, too.
I didn't tell you everything, just almost everything. I didn't want to give anyone a complete relationship map, of course. I knew I needed to keep playing my own game too, and not fall victim to playing yours for you. But it was as close as I was reasonably going to come, having done this enough times to know better than to share everything or leak all the time. And you had nothing to fear from me, nor I from you, to whatever extent can be achieved in Survivor between parties who are playing to win. It was really nice having you to bounce ideas off and lean on. I felt the absence later, when I was agonizing about whom to betray and how and when and could've used support from someone in the game who just believed in me.
If I wind up winning this game, it might be partly because you were taken away without me having to really do it. Sure I didn't go to rocks, but you understood that no one in their right mind would in that situation. And of everyone in the game who learned I wasn't going to do what they wanted, you handled it with the most grace. Thank you for that, and I hope we can all learn something from that example.
Thanks for making this whole thing a lot more enjoyable. Postgame friendships may be mercurial things, and sometimes they happen and sometimes they fade quickly, and it's not really anyone's fault. But I can't wait to find out who you are, and tell you about some of the things I felt I had to cut out for ID reasons.
