To My Brothers

[sent to Val's place of employment...]

To Val and Sage,

I must fight, for my sake and for the sake of prisoners taken by the idiot Adamh. I’m sorry for everything you have endured because of me. I hope to see you both again very soon, but in case that is impossible, please know that I love you. The best big brothers anyone could ever want. Be safe... and please stay away.

From Rue
