Mommy,

I'm sorry that it took awhile for me to write. Aunt Phoebe had to show me how to use the visi-screen microphone. She said that she didn't want me to touch it. She doesn't want me around my cousins anymore. I mostly stay in my room all the time now. I get bored a lot.

Aunt Phoebe told me that the police took you and daddy. I was scared when they came. I stayed under the covers like you told me to. They were very loud. I heard them fighting and it scared me so much that I stayed there all night.

Aunt Phoebe said that you are both sick and that you had to be taken away. You didn't look sick. Why didn't they take you to a hospital? Sick people go to see the doctor, not to prison. Couldn't they just give you vitamins and tea like you give me and little Yuki? Then you would be all better and could come home.

Other kids are teasing me, and avoiding me at school. I think my teacher is mad at me. I used to get good grades all the time. Now, I only get C's and D's. I am worried. We are supposed to get our stems next year. If my teacher keeps giving me bad grades I'll be sent away, like you and daddy.

A older girl from another class pushed me down outside during recess. She said that I was a "dizzy dent" and that I should stay away from others so I won't make them sick. She told me if I didn't go away that her friends would kill me. I don't understand why everyone is so mad at me now. What did I do? Even Aunt Phoebe seems upset with me. I heard her talking to Uncle Thomas that they should put me in a surf-eye-vors orphanage.

I want things to be like they were before. When are you and daddy coming home? I am scared. What is going to happen to us?

Love always,

Aiko Hananosei
