Dear Chell,
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry we never met personally, we were just both trapped in a world of hell. She made us be separated, she told you lies, I’m sorry for not being there for you.
I’m a terrible father aren’t I? Never being there for my child. Really, I should’ve been the one forced to do all the tests rather than you. I fled out of sight of them, made sure I was never to be found. You’re really smart though aren’t you? You found my dens pretty easily. I guess you are my little girl.
When you discovered them one by one, I knew there was a chance. That’s when I decided to make the escape route for you. Drawing in those orange arrows one by one helped you get out didn’t it? I hope it did, I hope I finally did something right in my life.
Please do me a favor. Face her. Defeat her. Make sure she doesn’t break up another family. I know someone like you can do it. You’re intelligent, young, brave, diligent, and the right fit for the job. Leave this facility. Leave this hell hole. Have some real cake on the surface. Don’t disappoint me like I disappointed you.
Don’t listen to her, don’t listen to anything she says. You will get out of here. Trust me.
I’m sorry I can’t leave with you.
I’m sorry I got captured.
I’m sorry I’m never going to meet you.
I’m sorry.
