Here is the note just in case no one can read it.

To whoever finds this letter and indeed, my remains;
Thank you for your efforts, but as you can see that vile fiend of my brother has finished his task by imprisoning me in my own study and letting me die of thirst. My only thought is for my beloved English bride Arlene and our new son Anthony.
I would have never have thought of this as anything but a tragic accident but Barclay came by last night to gloat, knowing that my tongue is too swollen to speak of his
treachery to the people frantically trying to get in. He secretly placed a drop of acid upon my key, knowing that I often lock myself in my study for some peace and quiet. I got the habit from living in the orphanage in America, for I was a product of Father’s ‘wild oat’ days and now I realize that he knew my brother was of the unsavory sort so sought a worthier heir to Castle Overlook and her village.
Sadly, I canot live up to Father’s dream. Barclay made sure of that. I do not wish for vengeance, for as Mother Sara of the orphanage taught me “Vengeance is mine, sayth the Lord.” I only pray that my wife and son survived to carry on my legacy and that Arlene is smart enough to realize that all is not as it seems in the Doletti household.
Many thanks once gain, my friend, for finally gaining entrance into my study and reading this letter.

Yours in Fellowship
Alfred Doletti

I dont really have much to say about this comic, just if you notice that the shading looks flat its because there are no lights, symbolizing that Aden is the one allowing Alex, and indeed us, to see.
