"i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know." for Victor

Destroy this boy with a flirty letter ;)

Picking up postman and squeezing him like a squeaky toy lol

Rated: Mature | Warning: none

Rarely does anyone send letters between each other, a few times a letter is sent from a hunter to a survivor but none send a letter among the same faction. Postman, Victor, apprentices you using the pen and paper to communicate with him. When you first met him, he would shy away from you, energetic as Luca, he barely could keep up. Then one day you started using your hands to make strange gestures.

“Helena taught me sign language so I can talk to you!” The joy on your face as you thought you created a bridge between him and yourself. You did but not the way you thought. Victor is mute, selectively mute, and he prefers the words on paper rather than verbal words.

The first letter you sent was mostly rambling about the day as you did not see that whole day due to matches and the occasional break to recuperate before once again going to a match.

The second letter asks him questions. Colors, food, a season, anything you could think of that is not invasive. Victor answers them while slipping in a few details you did not ask about him in order to seem more open. You matched it as you spoke about things before you came to the manor.

Then the letters between you both became a common way for you two to communicate until Victor, in his room with you, spoke softly. A small ‘thank you’ had you in tears of joy as he trusted you. Few can claim that— Literally three people outside of yourself.

And as the bond between you both grew so did feelings that started being expressed in the letters. His words are gentle, dancing around cautiously; while yours are to the point and announce your interest.

As someone from a time ahead of his, Victor felt it made things easier.

What is not easy is how you flirt so casually without shame or fear, people of your time move fast compared to his time.

The letter in his hand is held in a furious grip before closing it and facing it down; his face is red as he cannot move his eyes up to look at you across the dining table. Your foot rubs his calf, nearly making him jump.

A simple few words have his mind scrambling: I'm not wearing any underwear. Thought you should know. Love, (Name).

You smile at him, your fork playing with your food. Luca is beside you talking to Andrew and Aesop, all of them distracted while you are playing footsies under the table with Victor.

“Are you okay, V?” The nickname you gave him, “You feeling sick?” How can you see that while your foot is rubbing his crotch through his pants!? He should close his legs but… That look in your eyes is drawing him in.

“Your face looks flush,” Comments Andrew, “Maybe you should rest.” It makes sense given Victor has been in back-to-back duo matches recently. Those are a headache.

“Good idea!” Luca chimes in, “(Name), can you take him?”

“Of course.” Smiling as you get up from your seat, “You guys take care.” You place a small kiss on Lucas's cheek and Victor is standing up grateful for his uniform covering his lower half. The Postman waves goodbye before you tug him away out of the dining room.

Aesop watches the two leave before looking at Luca who is smiling too much, “You know something.”

“Maybe.” He does and completely changes the subject.

Victor pins you against his door with his hands on your shoulders, his eyes on you as his brows are knit together, “Are you really?” Low but you hear it.

“Yes, I'm not lying.”

The Postman should have known since you are wearing a skirt, yes, a skirt. You hate skirts! You complain about them especially when in a match. Yet, here you are in a long skirt in his room… Without underwear.

“Show me.” An edge to his sweet voice, his eyes and head tilting down.

You grin, “Okay.” Grabbing the middle of the skirt and lifting until you hear that gasp of surprise and cool air on your exposed lower regions. “Victor?”

He swallows loudly, “Can I?” His one hand off your shoulder, “May I?”

“Of course, this is for you.”

You might have underestimated Victor. You expected to be the one guiding and in control, dominant but gentle. No, Victor took over with his mouth on yours, a leg between your legs, and his hand that has your hands gripping the back of his uniform. His mouth never leaves yours, the sharp intake of air only when you both are dizzy, and you are the one making the most noise.

There are sweet whispers between kisses, those three words that have you begging him to touch you more.

Both of you barely get to the bed, fumbling a bit to strip, tripping and falling on one another but luckily on the bed.

Victor Analysis + Analysis of the 2022 Autumn Letter Event

(Reposting another older analysis I did back when the Autumn Letter Event 2022 was still going on. This originally started as just an analysis of the event, but turned into an analysis of Victor and his backstory as well.)

When Victor was 5, his mother took Victor and they traveled a long distance. On an autumn day, Victor's mother left him to be instead raised by his uncle. This may have been the last time he ever saw her, as Victor can’t even recall what she looked like.

Victor's mom taught Victor what good and bad lies were. Since when Victor explains what a broken promise by using the example "telling you they'll be back soon, this place is your home, or they'll contact you again", it's possible this is what Victor's mother did to Victor.

She promised they'd return home soon before traveling far away, then when handing him to his uncle she says this is his new home and promises to contact him again, but likely never does from how little Victor says about her and how he emphasizes he’s never received letters from anyone.

Victor's mother taught him what good and bad lies were, and then does exactly that to him. That's probably why she did it. She probably knew what she was about to do, but did it anyways, though we don't know why.

It's confirmed that she never comes back for him as Victor says he was "raised by my uncle" on day 6. As Victor is sent off to boarding school, it could imply his uncle didn't want to raise Victor either.

Considering Victor's belief "nothing is yours when you live under someone's roof", Victor likely learned this as a result of whatever his uncle's personality was, implying he may not have been the best (he was potentially quite strict).

While at boarding school, Victor is once again left alone, just like how his mother and uncle did.

It seems he didn't really have any friends. Instead, he listened to his schoolmates talking to each other at night while looking out an open window at the different seasons.

The lamp's description is "'Victor, it's lights out! Stop reading meaningless fairy tales!' They kept saying that in school".

Seems Victor tried to escape reality by diving into the worlds written in stories (and into other people's stories via letters), especially fantasy ones.

He likely did this because of how different (and potentially better) those worlds seemed than his current one. It also fits with how well Victor is at reading between the lines and reading other people's emotions (as day 2 describes).

Victor left boarding school when he was 15. His schoolmates promised they'd keep in touch, but they never did, which may parallel what happened with his mother.

Considering the mention he was 15 when he left boarding school, this may connect to Victor's harmonica, which in the event has the title "Gift for a 15-Year-Old" + the description "this was the only gift she ever gave me".

We know that this harmonica came from a female, meaning it couldn't have come from the policeman who owned Wick, especially as Victor hasn't even met him yet (Victor only just met Wick).

The in-game description for Victor's harmonica as the S-tier accessory is "Victor didn't think that this present from his poet friend would be the last testament of their last meeting."

The only female Victor's mentioned so far has been his mother. It's possible she still occasionally visited or contacted him somehow, and maybe she gave this as a gift for him finishing school, but the earlier example when explaining a broken promise makes me not sure.

Victor also did say he’s never received letters from anyone. Then there's Victor describing the person as a "poet friend" and I'm not sure he'd refer to his "mother" as a "friend", though it could be because of the lack of intimacy due to his mother leaving and not raising him.

It could've come from someone Victor knew at school, but as Victor talks about not having anyone to send letters to + how alone he describes himself as at school, I'm not sure about this option either.

The only other option is it's from someone we haven't been introduced to yet.

What we do know about the harmonica is it's incredibly important to him, to the point it's the only item he wishes to be buried with when he dies (on Day 6).

There's also how the harmonica in the event starts with "Have you tried playing the harmonica by a river in autumn?"

This should tie to Victor describing the day his mother left him. Regarding this, he says "We crossed the bridge over the river, and then she let go of my hand and just waited by the bridge. Then my uncle took me... And she left."

Finally, Victor on Day 6 says he likes playing Greensleeves on his harmonica. Some claim this song was written by King Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn, who rejected Henry's advances, or Lady Greensleeves (who the song is about) may have been a prostitute, though both are likely false.

In the song, the author says Greensleeves "was all my joy" but "alas, my love, ye do me wrong / to cast me off discourteously", adding "I have been ready at your hand / to grant whatever you would crave".

The next parts of the song describe what the singer tried to do to gain the lady's affections, but "thou couldst desire no earthly thing" and "yet thou wouldst not love me". He comments on how much he spent/did for her yet she still won't love him.

He prays that she'll see his "constancy" and "yet that once before I die / thou wilt vouchsafe to love me", before saying "farewell".

This song first appeared in 1580 (after Henry had died in 1547). The mention of "lady" may imply she could've been nobility (so not a prostitute)

The writer gives the lady multiple gifts, potentially trying to show how rich he is, but fails to get her to love him though she does keep the gifts.

During the renaissance, besides meanings that imply prostitution, green could also symbolize love and joy, youth, and chastity.

Greensleeves may have originally been a poem that was set to music, which could tie to Victor getting his harmonica from a "poet friend". If he was told to play the song while by a river in autumn, it's possible this friend was trying to help cheer Victor up when he was depressed thinking about his mother leaving him.

Considering the lyrics of the song, it's possible Victor felt similarly in the song. Doing everything he could to gain someone's love, but continuing to fail no matter what he did, but he still refuses to stop loving the person.

Though if it was the mother who sent it, it's possible it was her way of apologizing? Maybe that could also fit with, if his mother left when he was 5, he remembers her enough to talk about but not remember her face, why this could be the "only gift" he got from her.

It's possible, rather than abandoning Victor, Victor's mom had to leave Victor so he could attend boarding school. There was a law in 1870 (which fits the time period of the game) that made it mandatory for all kids between ages 5-10 to attend school.

Considering Victor was 5 when he left his mom and 15 when he left school, he would've been at boarding school for 10 years, which apparently is a possible amount of time for kids to stay at boarding school for. Maybe the harmonica was a gift, and maybe she sent Victor poems while he was going to school, but maybe she died soon after he left school and not long after giving him the harmonica. Maybe she gave it the harmonica to him so he wouldn't miss her. Maybe the last time her saw his mother was the day he got the harmonica from her.

Or again, maybe someone else gave it to him.

I'm not quite sure either way. I feel like I'm missing a little bit of info to really put all the pieces together to be completely sure. So for now, I can only throw out all the potential theories.

In any case, after school Victor began working for a post office, which is where the event takes place. It also matches with Victor's 1st deduction that talks about Victor becoming a postman.

Victor met Wick for the 1st time on day 1, where Wick says his "master just lost a letter! That's what I'm here for".

It seems to be while Victor is talking to Wick he gets the idea to write letters to himself. He comments during day 1, after Wick asks if he has anyone to write to, Victor says he doesnt have anyone to send them to, and he doesn't have anyone who's ever sent him letters either.

On Day 6, Wick tells Victor he should “keep these letters for yourself”, which likely refers to the letters Victor is looking at right now, which are letters Victor is unable to send due to smudged addresses, incorrect sender info, and so on.

Maybe it’s soon after this Victor gets the idea to do something similar by writing to himself. This could connect with Victor’s 1st letter, which is by Victor written for Wick (as well as some of victor’s deductions which are described as letters he wrote to himself).

Victor talking to Wick (like Wick can actually converse with him) also fits really nicely with Victor’s 1st letter, considering Victor is sending a letter to Wick and at the end of the letter, there is a reply from Wick to Victor (in morse code).

It's not until day 7 that we see this letter Wick was looking for. It is a letter from someone asking Wick's owner, the policeman (as it mentions a "measly salary" at a "police station" + we know Wick's owner was a policeman), to help them by passing goods and obeying "Big Daddy".

At the end of the letter, the author of the letter mentions also needing a "mute to pass a message". This should match with Victor's 2nd deduction, which has a very similar line: "Find a mute who can speak. That's someone who can keep a secret".

Based on the title of this deduction and line right after it "Nickname: 'Big Daddy' never called me by my name. He only calls me 'Postman', just like how everyone calls him 'Big Daddy'", seems it's soon after this event that Victor begins working for Big Daddy by sending messages and helping the policeman ship the "goods" the policeman was asked to send by Big Daddy's group. This is likely the "list of supplies for the transaction" and "addresses" referenced in Victor's deduction 3.

As Luchino's 1st letter references a "crime syndicate" linked to Lakeside Village, this may be Big Daddy's group ("Big Daddy" may be Miles' father, Mr. Donnelly, who Eugene Hayward, Margaretha's uncle, works for and was talking to when ordered to move Michiko's body).

The title of Victor's deduction 3 is "Curiosity", with the line right after it being "He said if something happens, he will ask Wick to give this letter to me for delivery." Considering the policeman was told to "find a mute" and Victor helped Wick, the policeman's dog, who probably showed the policeman he liked Victor, this would explain why the policeman would likely trust Victor enough with his dog and tell him he'd send him a letter with Wick if something happened to him (the policeman).

The money the policeman and Victor received in exchange for helping Big Daddy should be the same money referenced in Victor's deduction 4, which also states Wick would receive letters for the policeman when the policeman wasn't there to receive them himself.

The reason Big Daddy wanted a mute is hinted at in Victor's deduction 5, as people were "asking about the identity of 'Big Daddy'". Those who delivered messages before Victor likely died due to talkin, which explains why Big Daddy wanted a "mute" to deliver messages this time.

Then there’s Victor’s deduction 6, where he witnessed the policeman “beating up a hooligan”.

This seems to be a turning point for Victor.

It’s not explained why the policeman was beating them up, but considering deduction 8 is a note likely from the policeman who is starting to go against Big Daddy, as he doesn’t want to do “more” and wants them to stop using Victor, and considering back in deduction 3 the policeman thought something might happen to him and promises to send Wick with a letter to Victor if something does happen, I wonder if the “hooligan” was 1 of Big Daddy’s “gang”. This fits with the summary for Victor’s deduction 2 in his character relations page stating he “became the witness in a fight between a police officer and a gangster, and thus lost the trust of ‘Big Daddy’”.

Victor’s deduction 7 is him realizing he’s a just a "tool" and wants his own secret. I wonder if the policeman had been trying to protect Victor . Maybe he wanted Victor to get out, and that's why he wanted Big Daddy to send someone else instead of Victor.

It’s after this fight Big Daddy stops trusting Victor and “won’t let me deliver letters for him anymore”. It’s possible this was because the policeman stopped working for Big Daddy and so the Victor didn't have to do the same things he did before with the policeman as a result.

The policeman going against Big Daddy is reflected in the title and line for Victor’s deduction 8 “Business: the envelopes delivered here are getting thicker, yet the parcels being sent back are getting smaller”. Big Daddy wanted the policeman to do more, but the policeman decided he didn’t like what he was doing anymore. Big Daddy wants the policeman to ship more goods, but the policeman is refusing. He likely tried to speak out or do something potentially to get Big Daddy arrested.

As a result for going against Big Daddy, the policeman is killed. The fire was likely purposefully set to hide any evidence. Victor tried to save the policeman, but failed, only succeeding in rescuing Wick.

We know the policeman promised to send Wick with a letter if something happened to him, which likely contained everything about Big Daddy and other important secrets of the gang.

These were likely the evidence the police probably wanted to use to get Big Daddy caught, but failed to use before he was killed. This could also explain why the title for deduction 9 is “Possession: I hold my own secret now”.

In deduction 10, the title is “Hesitation: Should I remind him? Will he question me? Is there a chance to get that letter still?”.

I’m not sure what Victor means by “remind him”.

It’s possible Victor tried to ask something of Big Daddy, possibly to be let go or something. Or maybe he asked to keep Wick (especially if Wick had the letter from the policeman). The “letter” he still wants should be the letter the policeman wanted to send Victor.

As the rest of the deduction is labeled “monitoring record” and describes the gang watching him + willing to kill him if he talks, he either had to be careful to retrieve the letter, or maybe he wanted to use that letter against Big Daddy but had to be careful how he did it.

As Victor has skins like Paperboy (COA 5) where he’s using the newspaper to oppose Metropolis/Eternal Aurora, the idea Victor wanted to use the secrets from the policeman against Big Daddy makes sense. It'd also explain why the gang were worried and felt the need to watch Victor.

The last deduction should tie with the summary for the 3rd deduction in Victor’s character relations page, which states he was “involved in a police corruption case. His life was even threatened”.

As the title for deduction 11 is “lost letter” + “I’m still the Postman, but I’ve lost the Bronze Bell”, and how Victor during the event still describes having the “bronze bell” rung, I wonder if this deduction implies he was forced to leave working for the post office (bronze bell like that on a door to the post office to signify when someone entered to have a letter sent?).

If Victor did try to release the truth about Big Daddy like his skins (ex: Paperboy from COA 5) imply, that could explain why there was a “case” about “police corruption”, as in the kind you’d find in a judicial court.

Deduction 11 is a note “Don't say anything. You stick out like a sore thumb. We won't mind burning that dog again”. The meaning could be the gang/Big Daddy didn’t want Victor to say anything in court about them, and that would explain why they'd threaten “burning that dog again”, as the gang went from threatening to burn the dog to threatening his life was because he did talk out about the gang. It’s also possible he didn’t say anything, and that’s why Victor’s last deduction still uses the “nickname” Big Daddy and the gang call him, aka “Postman”.

Whatever happens, it’s around then that Victor receives the invitation from the manor. Victor is happy to finally receive a letter from someone else, and is more than happy to go.

hello hello ~ may i request fluffy headcanons for dating the postman? love ur works !!!!!

I don't know much about Victor, but I can sure try! He's a really interesting character.

Fluffy hcs for dating the postman , victor!

💌 ~

Unlike Mike, Victor understands privacy time. If you need time alone, he will give you just that! Don't be surprised when you find letters in your mailbox checking in on you, or gifts being delivered to your door.

Sometimes in a match, he'll send an extra special letter to you. It may or may not be a love letter.

Victor trains Wick to bite the hunter extra hard when they're chasing you, in fact, Wick is pretty protective of you considering that you hang around her and Victor often.

Victor gets flustered easily, yet he does love to cuddle with you. If you accidentally fall asleep on him, he'll be shocked at first, yet happy you're so comfortable around him.

💌 ~ U⁠^⁠ｪ⁠^⁠U

That's all for now! Tysm for requesting :)

request: yandere!postman w/ kidnapped!reader [in-essence universe] pairing: [victor grantz] yandere!paperboy x kidnapped!reader warnings: general yandere behaviour, delusional behaviour, implied future drugging

victor grantz

he saw you in passing, at first.

you were perfect to him, as your hair tussled in the artificial wind of metropolis. he stared, breathless, hands clutching a pile of newspapers in his arms. but he thought you were just like the wind- coming, going, never to return to him. but he was proven wrong. he saw you again, and this time, you were going up to him.

you smiled at him, and victor felt his heart thump hard and loud in his mechanical ears. it was raining that day, and he couldn’t go home because he lost his umbrella on the way over to the printing press. probably taken by someone who mistook it for their own or something. he was about to resign himself to staying at the press for the night, but then there you were, his saviour with the prettiest smile. “hey,” you greeted him, “paperboy- victor, right? left your umbrella at home or something?” victor looked away, his visor whirling through articles as he sheepishly nodded. he didn’t want to tell you it wasn’t actually at home, but whatever you said, victor felt like he had to agree with. he didn’t want to imagine ever saying ‘no’ to you. it’d upset him greatly.

“do you live close by?”

he perked his head up towards you, visor rolling through more articles. were you.. offering to walk home with him? “i can walk you home! wouldn’t want your newspapers to get wet, right?” you were. you were! he had to hide his excitement as he nodded his head, following as you reopened your umbrella at the door. when you offered your hand to him, the paperboy felt like he was about to pass out. nearly did so too when your hands linked together.

the walk back, victor got acquainted with you, introducing you to wick who barked in greeting. in the middle of it, wick’s paws got too tired and victor was just about to scoop him up when you handed him the umbrella and took the dog to your arms yourself, the animal friend making himself comfortable in your arms. victor didn’t feel jealous at all, in fact, his heart soared. you cared about wick, just like him! not a lot of people cared about wick like he did.

the two of you eventually reached his apartment, and you bid him goodbye as you left. his clothes lingered of your smell, a scent that was utterly, preciously yours. he didn’t want to wash them. he actually didn’t- he took off the clothes and hung them up and just used a new replica the next day. every night, when he reached home, he’d lean into those clothes and inhale the scent off of it. he didn’t see what was wrong with it, nor how weird you would think his actions are if you figured it out. after all, you’d never find him weird, right? you cared about him, right? you loved him, didn’t you? he felt a smile twitch across his lips. of course you loved him. the two of you often met since the last time, and he always took his time to talk with you [or sign, specifically].

but you always refused whenever he offered for you to come in to his apartment. you were so shy, so polite, victor thought as you left the apartment’s yard again. he wanted to show you it was okay to enter his home- in fact, he wanted you to live here with him. isn’t that what lovers do? live together? he’d rather you stay with him, though; it’s safer at his apartment than yours. yours is much too small. too easy to break into. he’ll show you that it’s okay to stay together.

you were tired. you’ve been losing things so much these days, you aren’t sure where you’ve misplaced them, if you’ve misplaced them at all. at first, it was little things. pens, papers, some stamps. then it became more suspicious things, like glasses, plates, cutlery. then it was straight up ammenities that you’re sure you put in your bathroom; towels, toothbrushes, soaps, shampoos. you’ve been looking at advertisements both in paper and online to see if there was anywhere else you could move to, though in a place like metropolis, there isn’t much of a good place to be. especially if you couldn’t afford it.

the rain pattered against your window, a clap of thunder made you scream and drop your stack of clothes. you cussed and knelt down to gather them again. you had a friend in the higher ups of metropolis who said you could live in their apartment for the meanwhile for a few weeks at least, and you were packing, but now you have to do it all over again thanks to the mess on the floor. the thunder had cut the lights in your room and you were aimlessly feeling at the floor, trying to find your comb that you sure dropped from the top of the pile. your hand touched... something. it wasn’t your comb, despite it being small. it was furry. you squinted your eyes in the dark, and jumped. “wick..! what are you doing here, boy..?” you muttered. it was victor’s dog friend who never left his side. seeing the dog here made you worried. was victor okay? did wick just wander off? wick never wandered off. however, the dog barked up at you, in an excited fashion at that, which meant it wasn’t something.. bad. you felt a hand on your shoulder. the last thing you got to see was the visor that had a newspaper article tucked within it.

he watched you intently, counting your breaths. one. two. three. four. five. you’re alive. he didn’t hit your head too hard, that’s good. it wasn’t that hard to carry you back to his apartment, he just told passerbys you drank too much and passed out. right now, you were tucked into his bed, with wick sleeping soundly by your feet. he smiled, eyes twinkling. his visor was set aside on the bedside table. victor’s chest thumped in excitement. your eyes were fluttering as you were waking up. you’re alive..! that’s wonderful, he was so happy to see you, and is even more happy to see that reaction of yours. yes, those wide eyes, the way you sat up, looking around, speaking so quickly- yes, you’re happy, that’s definitely you being happy!

he hugged you tight and felt your hands fist around his shirt. you must be so ecstatic, after all, why else were you crying? he cupped your cheeks, a flush spreading across his face as he giggled in excitement. “vi- ic-tor-” you sob out, tears down your cheeks, “wh- what’s happening- what’s going on..?!” he giggled even harder, squirming in place. you said his name! you said his name again, in such a sweet voice, you said his name! he clung to you, pushing you down to the bed as he cuddled into you. victor was much stronger, no matter how you squirmed and struggled, nothing happened. he couldn’t wait to live out the rest of his life with you, though you might need some medication to calm down. that thunderstorm must be scaring you so much.

he can’t wait to wake up to you. he can’t wait to cook you meals. he can’t wait to kiss you until you can’t breathe. he can’t wit to have you. he loves you so much.

and he’ll make sure his umbrella is always shared between you two.

Victor's 4th Letter and Emote

Victor's 4th Emote: "Duty" - "To Wick: Atta boy! We've both fulfilled our duty!"

He says in his 4th letter that he sees his duty as delivering every letter (via Wick, based on his 3rd letter). In his 2nd, he states he sees these letters as containing their "secrets".

Back to Victor's 3rd letter, it describes his extreme need to keep these "secrets" absolutely safe.

His 4th letter talks about needing "redemption, where all imperfections can turn to ashes".

He says the letters need their proper "packaging", the last step before he's "fulfilled" his duty. Regarding this "packaging", he says he "failed to achieve perfection the first time".

This "first time" should refer to his backstory with the policeman who was killed in the fire.

Deduction 3 states that the policeman planned to give Wick a letter to deliver to Victor if something happened to him (the policeman). We know something did happen to him, but Victor never got the letter.

Potentially because the gang found it first and that's why they set the fire, and also why it is mentioned Wick has been burned before, as we know Wick was supposed to be the one to send the letter. Even if they didn't find it, the fire would've destroyed it anyways.

This is why Victor in his Deduction 10 talks about wanting to try to look for the letter, while Deduction 11 is titled "Lost Letter".

Victor sees himself as having failed his duty as a result, which is why this time he wants "redemption".

Maybe Victor peeked at the letters entrusted to him, which the contents could make him feel it was even more imperative to protect those secrets, especially with his 3rd letter having the manor owner discuss using these letters to "sow discord and expose secrets".

The "packaging" potentially refers to putting the letters in an envelope, sealing them, and then putting them in a safe location.

This could also explain why Victor in his 3rd letters was stated to have run back into the fire in an attempt to protect those letters.

Why would he have run back into the fire to protect the letters if he was the one to have started it? If he wanted to use the fire to destroy the letters, why go back in for them?

It makes more sense that Victor didn't start the fire, and thus it was likely an accident or arson caused by someone else.

Likely not Ganji considering his issue with fire, which leaves Annie and Aesop.

Annie's anxiety intensified after she had the drugs administered to her (and Ganji's own issues did too as the drugs were used on him as well), though Aesop in his 4th letter said regarding Victor "I bury him in a sea of flames", so Aesop seems likely.

Annie had motivation due to her apparent strong need to get rid of Ganji, while Aesop also had motivation to "bury" Victor, though initially it seemed he wanted to do so via embalming.

Or again, it was an accident, though I'm doubtful it was with the owner calling it "arson".

About Victor's emote, I think the reason we see Wick on fire is a reference to Victor's past with the postman, as Wick had been set on fire back then, and it would also tie in with how that same emote also shows the letter Victor was holding as burning too.
