...I really wish you'd told me some of this stuff, Ciss. I mean--I knew about Steph. You mentioned it in Kon's journal, and I'm nothing if not nosy, but. I would have liked to hear it from you. I didn't feel right doing anything about it until I had.

And if she doesn't know what I see in you, then she's blind. You're beautiful, courageous, honest, and smart. You are wonderful and determined and stubborn in all the best ways.

And I love you.
