[Someone at Wellspring lent him a journal. It's not his; his was destroyed. Ben's not much of a journal-reader, so unless he's reminded he will likely forget to get a replacement. His writing is larger than usual, and a little slow.]
My other is gone. [Or... well, his psyche was absorbed, but it's already faded hugely.] I am so sorry for the hurt he caused. None of it should have happened.
If you respond, please make the letters large. My sight is returning, but it's still blurry, and the medics have done enough for me already. I don't want to bother them by asking them to read to me.

Genius [longer pause] I'm sorry.
