| − | ''I do not know if this letter will reach you, but as I am writing this I fear that we may never see our son again. Today I had the opportunity to see him, to embrace him in my arms once again. Instead, we were standing before a fence, and on the other side were our children. My love, if you were there at that moment, you would understand how I feel as I write this letter. The son that we raised to be strong, kind and generous was standing before me, yet his eyes were devoid of life. I can scarcely imagine the horrors they did to him ever since they took him... nay... ever since they stripped him away from our arms. I was hoping he would recognize me, or maybe even shed a few tears as I was... Yet for the first time ever since they took him, I was scared that he was not our son anymore.

| − | ''My dear Raymond, I know that Ala Mhigo requires all the support it needs, but this solitude is unbearable. Both of you are the most precious things in my life, and yet it is as if we are living in three separate worlds. Am I asking too much? Is living with the ones I love a luxury not everyone can afford these days? Despite these questions, I try to stay strong; I have to hope that our son is well, that that we will live as a familiy once again in the future.''

| − | ''But as parents, we cannot help but worry for him, for we both know his strengths and weaknesses. While he is strong, kind and immensly generous, he is also naive, obstinate and... slow in certain areas... Indeed, we have to trust him. For his name is Senel Curtis, and he will carry on our legacy for the rest of his life, with all the love and care we gave him. I just hope... hope that he will never forget us.
