It was always my intention to protect her, but I failed her just like I failed you, Benedetta. When I left the island, Bunny had to fend for herself. I can't imagine how hard it must've been to keep hiding to feel like there was no other way, just like Bunny, you had to ask yourself, what am I willing to do to fit in, to feel love, and to survive. You did what you had to do, and I hope you won't be afraid to make the same type of choice again. to walk away, to refuse to hide.
