Hello Charles,
No. I'm not leaving the team. I'm not sure about a lot of things right now except that I'm not leaving the team, not at all... but this isn't what this email is about, anyway.
This is about Miles. His safety and his future and the choices that should be his to make and no one else's. There are a lot of things I've not been turning a blind eye to or at least I've been letting them pass and pretending it's all right when in reality it's not. Acting as though it weren't a big deal. But after some of the things I saw down in those tunnels, I was pretty sure I had to do something, though I didn't know what. After what I just read... I know what the something is. Or the start of it, at least.
Simply put, from now on I don't want Sarah to be left alone unsupervised in Miles' presence. Note that after a conversation with Shinobi, I don't think he's an adequate supervisor either - certain comments he made indicate this but also simply because he asked me that he not be left alone with Miles - and the temptation his power represents in his quest to settle matters with his father.
I'm not saying that Sarah isn't allowed to see him. I just don't want her imposing her views about the Morlocks on him anymore. He was one when he was taken away from there, during a highly traumatic event. He doesn't remember anything. He has the chance at a normal life and it seems to suit him just fine. He chose his own name. But far more important of all... I don't want her making it seem to him that murder, regardless of the motivation, is an acceptable way of thinking, especially considering she does not even show any second thoughts to the fact that she went out of her way to ambush and kill three people and would have apparently killed more without any remorse if she'd had the chance.
She won't even use the name he chose for himself. The thought that she might be an influence on my little boy's way of thinking because she refuses to allow him his own way of life scares me. A lot.
Thank you,
Alison
