Kate took a deep breath as she prepared herself for the second voice message. After all, she knew that Mai would be heartbroken, knowing that Kate would leave her alone after they had taken each other as sisters.

Mai, my sister from another mother… and father.
I'm sorry, but I must leave a message rather than meet you personally. I'm afraid I can't say goodbye if I have to say this in person…
I have decided to leave it to my own decision because I think this is the best thing to do. I don't know what crazy thing Sarah would do, and I feel like leaving would save both Henry and Theo's life.
I know it's selfish and cowardly of me, and I will probably regret it later. But this is the choice that I take nonetheless.
Mai, ever since I interviewed you back then. I already know you have the talent to be like me, even better if you honed your instinct.
