[Penny, it is I, Penny.
I know that this is confusing, and everything you're about to read is confusing—ridiculous, even. However, I hope you'll read through it all.
First things first: you've died. I did. In prison, on the day of my execution.
How are you alive? I was reborn. Yes, you read that right. It's crazy and unbelievable, but it's the truth. I died in there, and I never got any justice. But then, I woke up as a child. I restarted my life; I lived as Penelope Reed for the first twelve years, and Uncle Haines came to the Cortez household weeks before my 13th birthday.
Everything is the same as you remembered it, but I changed a few things. One is the Cortez family. They didn't neglect me, nor did they bring me suffering. I made sure they wouldn't do that, nor would I ever experience that horror again.
