(The letter arrives via a local courier. If asked, the man will simply say that a young girl gave it to him, with express instructions to make sure Elijah received it.)
My dearest Elijah,
I did something, hurt someone, this past week. I didn't mean to do it; my hunger simply overtook me. I don't know who it was, aside from being a local, but I do know that I didn't kill him as I should have. I don't know if he hurt others, before he came into contact with the sun. I don't know a lot of things, it seems.
However, I do know that I can't stay in the city anymore. If I do, and people find out what happened, they aren't going to understand. I can accept that and take full responsibility for what I did, but I also can't risk everyone else being hurt because of me. I don't want to see the city become divided and I don't want innocent beings who just happen to not be human to be harmed because of my mistake.
So I've decided I'm going to leave. I don't know how far I'll make it, or what will happen to me when I fight the urge to return. If I wind up in the library, I'll simply leave again. Maybe, if I get very lucky, Asaph will see fit to just return me home. Maybe he'll decide to make an example of me for refusing to play by his games any longer. Whatever the outcome, at least I will know no one else will suffer as well. That's what matters, above all else.
Please remember that this was my choice. Please also know that I'll miss you terribly. You have become family, to me, and I will never forget the kindness you showed me without asking for a thing in return. Take care of yourself, Elijah. I love you.
Always,
Abby
