TRANSLATION OF FAREWELL LETTER 2:
Joko, I’m sorry for overthinking everything because of all the mistakes I’ve made. Honestly, if I really love you, I’d rather leave than continue living without peace of mind. I can’t do this anymore, and I can’t forget what happened. Please understand and accept my decision. I have to choose. I’m saying goodbye now because I have to leave. Love, Joko
