[ TT ] You have a gift for talking to inanimate objects . Alongside many perks , it makes you an excellent thief ... but you only steal things that want to be stolen .

I do n't belong here, you know. I'm not like these other guys. You can see that for yourself, right? I'm not bouncing off the walls or drooling all over myself. I'm not a danger to myself or anyone else. They have n't got any real justification for keeping me, but here I am. 
 
 I'm glad I've at least had you to talk to these past months. You really care about people. The other `` caretakers'' are all business; they do their assigned duties and that's it. If you try to start up a conversation, they'll just ignore you. They do n't want to get too close to you. I guess I do n't blame'em, though. Being in this environment will slowly drive a man crazy, if he was n't already when he got here. 
 
 I should never have ended up here, but I let myself go soft once. I could n't help it. If you had heard that little diamond ring's story, heard her voice crack as she described the abuse, you could n't have left her there either. I almost got her out of there, but I did n't know about the dog. I'm good at what I do, though; when they brought me up as a witness at the trial, they had no idea I was involved. I should have just played it cool and pretended I had nothing to do with it. But then they brought her out. She looked so betrayed... I felt guilty, y'know? In the heat of the moment, I just kinda broke script. I tried to convince the jury to not send the poor girl back to that terrible household, and ended up digging a hole for myself in the process. I do n't think anyone believed me in the end, either. 
 
 I still ca n't believe I slipped up so badly, though. I'd kept my `` gift'' a secret for 26 years. I knew people would n't believe me, if I told them. I'm not crazy, though. 
 
 You do n't think I belong here either. You do n't think I'm crazy. You're a good person with a strong sense of justice. You know it's not right to keep me here. 
 
 That little ring, she's still with that family, and you know I'm the only one who will save her. I wo n't mess it up this time. I wo n't ask much of you. I just need to know your code. With that, I can make it out of here on my own. 
 
... 
 
 Thank you so much. You've made a world of difference for both me and that little ring. I'll never forget this. Goodbye, Locke.
