Dude forces me to eat lego pieces

Hey there! Haven't done one of these in a long time. Last time was like, 2019, 2020 sorta.
I wanted to wish you a late Merry Christmas, and wish you a Happy New Year this upcoming 2024.
Thank you for being my friend. We may have spent a lot of time together, or haven't spent too much time together at all. Regardless though, I appreciate you sticking around with me as I complete another year in my life.
I hope that, whenever I had the chance, I was able to put a smile on your face. You deserve it for being a wonderful person. Much love from me to you, and I hope to see you again soon :)

STOP! YOU VIOLATED THE LAW! Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence! Your stolen goods are now forfeit!

Ha. Found you

You keep running, so I can stab you in the back.
