The letter appears to be addressed to Kaji, leading him to joke it might be a love letter. However, the letter was actually written by Bam Kaji.

This manipulation attempt backfires when the truth is revealed.

Foreshadowing: This incident foreshadows Bam Kaji's increasing desperation and underhanded tactics in pursuing Shanti.
