Hi.
It’s been awhile since I’ve written in one of these, I guess. I don’t know where to start.
It’s the third day since we’ve left home. Yang and I have been planning this for awhile, but it still feels like it came too quickly. Way too quickly.
On the off chance I can’t make it back, I’m writing in this book, so you know what happened. To maybe make up for everything.
Yang said I have a gift. Well, she called it a “stain on our DNA,” but that’s just really negative. The monsters can’t see me, Shae. They are completely blind to me unless I do something otherwise. I’m permanently safe, if I want to be, as long as I’m out of the line of fire.
I have to make the most of it.
I wish I got to spend more time with you, Shae, before I left. And Ray, too. I wish even more I could take you with us. But I’d never get over it. I’d never stop blaming myself if something happened, or be worried that you could get hurt. I’m realizing this has gotten really sappy. I’m sure you don’t want to read that, so I will cut myself off and try to do better in the future.
I’ll see you soon, I promise. Real soon. Stay safe.
