Why would you hope they feel embarrassed? The letter made me a bit sad because the person didn't sound very happy, but I don't know why we are in a rush to judge each other so harshly.

And a Hersheys wrapper at that

Its not clear to me who this letter is from, Ally or Ali Baba. Though poignant in either case.

thats rather lovely i think, i dont think its something to be made fun of. naturally you might feel a bit strange on recieving such a letter, but i think it would be something rather touching. odd, but touching. this person is putting trust in someone they are fond of, i think its sweet. i agree with the comment below me, the writer just wanted someone to talk to.

@Ynno2 people love to laugh at weakness, frailty, awkwardness etc. in others. It makes them feel big & important, even though it's more pathetic than what they are laughing at. I think the person who wrote the letter just wanted somebody to talk to, even if it's just a letter that will never get a reply.

Aww, poor Nick had a cold.

@EdieNippoli pretty sure it's the name of the candy.
"Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus" anyone?

A chocolate wrapper? Jesus Christ, the poor woman.

Is the wickedly lovely Cave illiterate, or is the teacher a shitty writer? The latter is likely, the former is impossible.

@PotatoManTada
Having seen Nick read out loud in person, I'm going to go with the latter. Keep in mind that it's written on the back of a chocolate wrapper.

Out of interest, what did Nick say just as the video cut off? He wasn't making fun of the writer, was he?

"Ali Baba", Didn't get the timing quite right so it got cut a bit. Yes, I am guessing it was in reference to the writer of the letter.
