My only Sunita,
It is a physical pain, to love someone so much and to be unable to help them, to know you are out of reach. These words, which I will burn, will never reach you. I am alone here, talking to myself.
I always told you I keep things inside. You could never really understand it – you, whose feelings overspill so easily. I do it to protect others. I am not like Junko, who lashes out in all directions in her distress, and doesn't care who she inconveniences, who she hurts.
But there is only so much I can contain. My chest is an iron band. I find myself on the edge of panic. Small problems make me want to scream. I am trapped, trapped, trapped.
We thought Abstergo wanted to rewrite history. Appalling as that is, it would hardly be the first time. But their ambitions go further. Junko and I are midwives to a monster. And this monster knows how to rewrite our thoughts, our very patterns of behaviour. They're going to pacify us. Defuse our desire to rebel. Make us placid and content, willing resources for the machine of industry. Uncomplaining tools to help them create their own vision of humanity.
And they're going to do it to you.
It is this thought, more than any, that compels me to act. The idea that they will change you, change the boys. To see you lose your spark, to see Javier's sharp edges dulled, or Rodrigo's wild creativity tamed... to know that you are being lessened, and that you would not even be aware of it...
I have never felt a fury like this. Sunita, I promise you, I am going to stop this. I am going to find a way to save you all.
Yours forever,
Cay.
