"I see why I'm all alone, I'm weird and no one understands me... When I try to be friends with someone they don't want me to be me..."

"What does the letter say?" Nicole and Julia asked.

"Give me a second... Alright it says..." Hunter started.

"'Dear Reader,
I may not be around long enough to deliver this to anyone... But I'm the one who killed Jackson and Melissa Walker. I will not state my name because people would come after me... Let me just say I feel absolutely terrible for what I did I was assigned to do this by "Shall Stay Unknown."
Just know whoever is reading this that I am deeply sorry and that I am killing myself for this.
-Unknown Killer'"

No one had said anything a few moments after Hunter had read that, Nicole's bangs covered her eyes as if she was about to cry. Julia was the first to speak.

"N-Nicole I'm so sorry..." Julia mumbled.

"D-Don't be... I-It wasn't your fault... I-It wasn't y-your fault at all..." Nicole says, as if she was about to break out in sobs.

Julia and Hunter gave glances to each other like 'What should we do?' and 'Should we give her a minute?' Then Julia gave a glance that read, 'Comfort her, hug her.' Hunter then sighed, knowing Julia would probably slap him if he didn't.

Hunter then walked up to her and hugged her lightly. "I'm sorry about what happened..." He whispered. Nicole didn't hug him back, she didn't push him away either, she just started crying.

"It was all my fault!" She sobbed. "I should've been there! I could've protected them!"

"You didn't know..." Hunter sighed.

They were now driving back to the Torres's place. Julia had fallen asleep in the back seat.

"Hey Nicole." Hunter started.

"Hmm?" Nicole responded.

"Last night, right before you fell asleep you said something. You said 'Will I disappear someday?' What does that mean?" Hunter asked.

"It's something I used to say when I was a kid, it meant if I died would I disappear from everyone's memory and would everyone forget about me..." Nicole says.

Hunter chuckled a bit at this. "What's so funny?" She asked.

"I'm pretty sure it's hard for anyone to forget The Great Nicole Walker." Hunter says.

And this was the first time Nicole ever heard that and she knew she would never forget he said those words to her.
