After Fred was released from the hospital, he and Corelle often exchanged emails. It was here that the two got into a heated argument. In the exchanged emails, Corelle finds out Fred has been cheating on her with other women he finds on the street. He doesn't spend the night with them; admitting it’s pure fun. The argument blossoms into a fight about how she doesn't give him enough, blaming it all on Corelle’s short attention span.

Look, we're not going to get anywhere if we're calling each other names. Just shut up and let me 's easy to say you're not giving me enough, or simply you're not trying. I know you're trying, but I'm telling you now, if you want this relationship to work, you're going to have to give me more. I'm pricey, per se. I'm not Sophie or Jump. I'm not one of those ex husbands and boyfriends you've had; you can't just get all cozy and then throw me away. No, I won't take that shit from you. You're going to have to keep on giving until I say it's enoug, got it?When I feel like I'm more than Alphonse ever was, will me, and is, only then will I stop being with other girls. But only then.

How am I supposed to make you feel special when you're out doing things with other girls? How am I supposed to trust you like I did them? They never cheated on me--with the exception of Alphonse; but that wasn't a surprise--ever, and I doubt they even would today. Fred, listen to me: I can't give you special treatment if you're not deserving in the first place. I'm sorry.

With love, Esther

Then I guess this just won't work, will it? We're over. Go cry to Jump or Alphonse for all I care. See if I give a shit, Esther.

Fine, then. I won't do anything about it. I'm sorry it had to end up this way, Fred, I really am. We'll move on in time, right? I hope so.

You're talking bullshit. You can't live without me.

Dear, Fred;

No, I really will give up if it's what you want to do. Just because we're not together anymore doesn't mean we can't still be friends, right? After all, you were brought here to be my imaginary friend in the first place, right? You have no choice but to be my friend and know me.

You're a piece of fucking shit.

Corelle shuts her laptop, turns off the light, and jumps into bed, thoughts of a Fred-less life ahead.
