I know that it might be hard to accept what had happened because of the
overwhelming pain you are experiencing, but your fellow Freelancers and I are
here to help you cope with it. You have a great responsibility and a noble cause
which is a burden, I understand that, but don't let others stray you from the
righteous path. We are here to support your decisions, whatever they might be
because we believe what you are doing is right. You are a very rear and
wonderful person that chose to guard humanity against the dangers that lurk in
the dark and it would break our hearts if something happened to you. I know you
are strong, you might have forgotten that due to what happened, but find your
strength again and confront the problem with all of us by your side. Do not fear
the dark, as it the one who should fear us.

Sincerely, Mara Arin.
