Maya, for what it's worth. I'm sorry. If you weren't associated with me, that mirror wouldn't have gone after you both. That's on me.
You matter to me. Most people don't. That mirror wants to hurt me. There's not many ways to do that, but going after the people I care about does the trick.
I'm gonna keep my distance, should have done that from the start and you'd not have gotten hurt over this. But as I said, if you or Riley ever need anything, you just gotta say.

I'm not gonna stop caring.
