Hey mum... I wanted to say goodbye.
I understand why you didn't show up today: for my safety. Still, it felt weird, standing next to dad while we smiled through the last moments of our reunion. It's still so hard to believe that after living under your care for fifteen years, we'll be strangers again, and I'll forget everything about both of you.
The reason why I'm sending you this rather lengthy text is that I trust Oliver and his team's security skills. Hopefully, no one apart from you will read this. And if they do... well, I didn't have the time to encode it; by the time it's found, Arista isn't going to exist anymore, and the Republic will have no reason to harm me.
Lyla is smart. She's figured out what's going on and has agreed to help me one last time before all of us get our memories wiped. Below are a series of complex calculations and combinations detailing the Merging Process. According to Lyla's calculations, we should end up looking like Natasha, the girl in the photo. All the Republic wants is perfection and Natasha is beautiful enough to resemble one of them. She's pretty. Prettier than me and Lyla, at least. Maybe it's for the best. Whatever you look at us Merged, you won't make the mistake of thinking that it's me in there.
If you ever see me again, I won't remember anything. Just know that I'm alive and safe in the hands of the Republic.
I probably never had the chance to say this, but I love you mum, and even though I'll be entering the Merging Process soon, I would give up anything to rewind back to a month ago, back to simpler times when it was just us. You mean everything to me. Take care of yourself.
