Dr. Kinney,
Mother,
I no longer have your letters. I had memorised them, and so I wrote them out, but it was not the same. I do not know why. I will attempt to get them back.
I know that you are supposed to reply to letters, and even though you will not be able to read this, I think I should regardless. There are things I want to tell you, but I am not sure how. I am sorry.
I have done things that would disappoint you. I put Debbie and Megan in danger, even though they allowed me to be a family with them. I tried to do as you said. I tried to be a person, but I did not know what to do without missions. You would be disappointed in me.
People say that it is different, here. That I can do as I wish, and that I do not have to be a weapon. I am not certain they are correct. You know that I am more intelligent than the majority of people, and yet it has taken me ninety-seven minutes to write these one-hundred and eighty-six words. I think I am mechanical. Not a person.
I do not think I would feel that way if I could read your letters.
You asked me to forgive you, and then said that I should not ever allow myself to do so. But I have. There is nothing for me to forgive. You are my mother, and you saved me. You should not forgive me for what I have done to you.
I will get your letters back, no matter the cost. I will become a better person. Not a weapon.
-Your daughter, Laura.

I have looked through this network, and I understand that deals can be made with the Deities. I would like to have the letters from Doctor Sarah Kinney returned to me. Also, the locket I received from Megan Kinney. I don't know what I could offer. A limb? It would also contain adamantium.
Alternatively, I will successfully accomplish any task required of me.
I think I will get an animal.
