Subject: Please Come Home

Dearest Mikal,

I know that this is a long shot after what happened when Po tried to bring you home but believe me when I say no matter how many times you turn us away, we still want you back in our lives. Laura and I can’t even begin to understand how hard this last year’s been, but I promise you, these people are not the answer.

Po said that these Fire Rats made you burn yourself? That doesn’t sound like something people who care about you would do. No matter what mistakes you’ve made, you are deserving of love and respect. I don’t think Aggie would’ve wanted you to be punishing yourself like this.

I also have a bit of good news. I’ve been talking to Agent Maclan about your charges and they said that if you would be willing to share information about the other people who were with you on Aggie’s ship, then they might be able to cut you a deal.

But we can talk about all that later, please just send us comm. It can even just be one word. We only want to know you’re okay.

Love, Mom
