Father, it was a beautiful day. I spent most of it with Cousin Titus. We snuck into the theater today and saw Cato’s celebrated play. It was magnificent. You would have hated it. But I came to see Otho. He proposed to me. He wants to make me his wife! I ran home with so much glee that I thought I could fly, but then I saw Remus. I hadn’t seen him for so many years that I barely recognized him, but I knew something terrible had happened. You're dead… How can this be true? Remus must be lying to mother and me; some sick game he is playing with us. But I saw how heavy his heart was. He was a brother to you. I ran to Otho and collapsed in his arms. He was so wonderful, but I can’t stop crying. How could this have happened? I want you back! I curse to the Gods and demand them to give you back to me!
