Hate Mail

“We were two people who had nothing in common except our mutual disdain.”

Naomi and Luca spent years being mean to each other through letters. It shows how hate and love both require the exact same amount of attention.

“You were the only person who saw me.”

The way Luca remembers every detail about Naomi from a decade ago is wild. True intimacy can hide inside a grudge for a very long time.

“I was living a life that was curated, not felt.”

Naomi realizing her perfect life was actually just a quiet cage hit hard. Sometimes the person who insults you is the only one being honest.

The prank war in the office felt like a shield. They were using humor to avoid saying anything real to each other.
