Opened in Year Ten

Status
Time Locked
A time capsule addressed to whoever is keeping this archive a decade from now. The archive has recorded that it exists and when it opens; the text is held back.
What Is Held
One letter, sealed at the close of the second year, addressed to whoever holds this archive in its tenth.
What Is Recorded Now
That it exists. When it was written. When it opens. Nothing about what it says.
Why the Distance
A capsule opened after two years is a marketing beat. A capsule opened after ten is a test of whether anyone is still here, and whether what was written then still reads as honest now.
The archive would rather fail that test in public than pass an easier one.
The archive is betting that it will still be here to open this. That bet is the entry.
Archive Note
Recorded thin for the same reason as the sealed note in Hidden Notes: a published row is a readable row. What is stored here is the fact of the letter, not the letter.
