Of course not, Jack. I am wounded that you think me so cruel. Angel may be dead as it stands — but that does not have to be the case, Jack. You underestimate what I am capable of. Given the circumstances early in the project, it was much too complicated to tell you of Angel's fate, and was much easier to provide you with a hint towards her good health.

Do not be afraid, Jack. Do not quiver. You are not the only one in such a precarious situation. In fact, I might venture to say that all of you — that is, all forty-one of you — are in the exact same situation, and share a burden that you did not ask for.
