— To my dearest Emma… Ray is planning to die. He’s doing all this so you and I don’t get killed. He didn’t include himself in the equation. He has no intention of escaping. He’s going to set himself on fire to distract Mom, and let us run away. I’m not going to let him do that. No matter what. Use the fire that Ray’s planning to start, save Ray, outwit Mom, and escape with everyone. I’m counting on you, Emma. Please take care of Ray and our siblings.
