Leviathan,

Merritt is no longer in London—your letter just missed her. I hope you are not upset that I took the liberty of reading your correspondence. I seek not to control her or shield her, but to help her acclimate to a world that is slowly revealing itself to her.

Fear not, my demonic friend, she has been taken to Manchester where she is in the hands of others like myself. I urge you to keep your distance from her—lest your very presence in her life bring about more terror. I appreciate your concern, but it is unwarranted. I assure you, all is in good hands.

Yours truly,
