Damned: Letter 01 (DS 57)
Dear Daddy,
Well, I guess you're technically Mr. Sullivan, but...
Anyway, wow, it's been how long since the last time I saw you? Seven years? I heard they had transferred you when I left a few days ago. The nurses told me you were always worried about me and kept asking everyone where I was. So I wanted to let you know I'm home now and there's nothing you should worry about. I'm fine. You just focus on getting better, OK?
Also... [The next few lines of writing here are illegible, as if the writer started to write something and then hastily changed their mind and scribbled it out.]
I know you didn't mean for things to turn out like this, and you just wanted the best for me. You always said you were a Hero of Justice and that you wanted to protect people. That's why I always looked up to you when I was a little girl and wanted to be just like you. I know you're not a bad person deep down, unlike what some people think. But all in all, murder is wrong no matter what the reason. You hurt a lot of people trying to do what you thought was right...And it really hurts knowing what you did to my family. I won't lie, it's hard wondering if I can forgive you for it. I don't know if I can, especially since you act like you don't know what you did. But that's why you're there. Maybe being there will make you sane again, and you can make up for the laws you broke and the people you hurt. And then maybe me and everyone else can be able to forgive you.
I miss you, and I miss how things used to be. So please... Please stop pretending you're somebody you're not and realize who you really are. And just accept that you did a lot a things that were wrong. The quicker you do that, the quicker we can see each other again, OK?
I can't think of anything else to write about right now, so I'll write you again real soon. I love you, no matter what. You'll always be 'Daddy' to me.
