Hey, ~sister~.
I think I broke Nate. He's not dealing with the Columbia thing well at all, which is to be expected, but me planning to get up there and speak has completely freaked him out, and now I'm starting to wonder if it's a good idea of if I'm just being stupid. I mean, it's not like I have a lot of support from my usual people - Pete's backing me, but thinks I'm being naive and wondering where the political activism came from, and Moira's away,and Nate's well... yeah. And you're probably the person who understands this all best. Got any advice?

Thanks. Just... thanks. I can't put into words what it meant to read that, especially from you considering you've been there and done that. And on your own, too. Having people support me... makes it easier, definitely. I don't know how you did it back then, knowing you could and probably would lose everything. It's not half the risk for me as it was for you, Nate's predictions of death and destruction regardless.
Take care of him for me? I'm thinking the best thing I can do for him right now is keep out of his way.
