*Charles wakes up that Friday morning, and it's an October Friday morning like any other October Friday morning in zombie prison camp. Except that when he's about to head out to meet Babs, he finds a plain envelope slipped under the front door. As tempting as it is to leave flat objects that are lying on the ground for Leto to take care of, he nevertheless leans down and scoops it up.
There's no name on the envelope, which gives him the moral right to see what's inside. Besides, if it were something for Leto that the god-emperor had wanted to keep private for some reason, he'd have known to get it already, wouldn't he? He heads back inside a bit, so that he’s not sitting right in front of the door, and sits by one of the windows to take advantage of the morning light.*
