[Dear Mom,
How are you and Dad? I'm doing well. Mostly keeping my nose clean and working a lot. Sometimes it's great, being in a troupe of people like me. Other times, well...I know you don't like horror movies. So I'll spare you the details.
Margo and Mona made it safely to me. They're both fine, still in the adjustment period. Which is fair, I definitely had one of those upon arriving here. I promised you when they were little that I'd always look after them, and I'm definitely doing that now. This place definitely isn't for the faint of heart, but they're strong. They take after you and Dad in that regard. I won't let anything happen to them. They're my baby sisters, they're mine to protect. I won't let you down.
We're moving on soon, I don't know where to. It's possible by the time you get this, we'll have moved on from there as well. I don't know how good the mail here is. The package has some souvenirs and candies and things for you, so I hope you like them.
Do you remember what you told me when my gifts started to manifest? 'With great power, Madeline, comes great responsibility.' I didn't know until I was 20 that you borrowed that from Spider-Man, but I took it to heart anyway. I'm doing my best to try to be the woman you raised me to be. It's just...sometimes it's hard. Sometimes the darker way is easier. Which I know won't help ease your mind, but you should know I always try my best. But I'm only human. Sometimes I fail.
Know that I'll always love you. My leaving was never about you, I just felt...stagnant in Vegas. I needed a change. The Cirque gave me that. Hopefully we'll come back to our neck of the woods soon, so we can see you and reassure you that we're all still in one peace. Love you, Mom. Give Dad a hug and kiss for me.
Love,
Maddy]
