Final Letter

[After setting Connor right, Vivienne does one last thing. She tucks a letter in his coat pocket. Before returning him to Hank. When he finds and opens it, he'll find handwritten script--]

Connor,

So in the end, I suppose the truth is that I'm neither a good human nor a good android. In truth maybe there is no proper place for me in this or any world. I've tried so hard on several levels, but in doing so I've only ever messed up. Emotions, intentions, ideals-- they all got mixed up in my head. Maybe I tried too hard. But since coming back here, everything I've done, I've tried to do so in the best interest of my students.

It was difficult though, suddenly being asked to choose between the students that were the first people to show me kindness and accept me and the friends that had supported me through those dark hours. To me, everything in that room is full of life. Maybe young and not yet realized, but I cherish every part of them. They're more than just steel and wires. Maybe they aren't as superior as you and maybe neither am I, but I love them all the same.

Maybe it feels like a lie now, but it's not-- I would do anything for my students. Part of me was even willing to let you destroy me, if that was what was best for them. But there's one thing I knew that told me I couldn't do that, no matter what. If I'd let you win, they would have had an excuse to execute you under their stupid rules. I couldn't let them do that under any circumstances.

Regardless what you think of me, I want to express that as always, I want you to stay safe. Stop risking yourself-- Hank and the others need you. I have and always will believe that you can overcome anything.

I will sincerely miss every single one of you.

Please stay safe.

Vivienne Liranzo
