“Dear Brother Number 1,
The events that occurred in the last 48 hours have only confirmed my concerns about the future of this Community. This island is not safe anymore. The current government is deaf to our demands; they expect us to deal with their dirty business, but they don’t provide us with the means necessary to defend ourselves. I know these matters annoy you, and that from inside the Village everything feels like you’re heading towards a bright future. But that’s not the case for the rest of the island. The attempt on your life is just the tip of the iceberg.
For years, I’ve supported your every decision. I agreed to establish the Trials, despite my doubts about their usefulness and the danger they represent for the Community’s safety. I accepted the appointment of Brother Number 3, even though I warned you about entrusting him with the management of the foreigners. Yesterday, all my worries became reality.
The woman who tried to kill you had infiltrated our Community by means of the very Trials you assigned him to. Instead of getting rid of her as soon as she put her feet on this island, Brother Number 3 let her roam around freely, while he was playing a game of cat and mouse with her, dressed in one of those ridiculous costumes of his.
That man – I did tell you from the beginning – is out of control. I am worried about the bad influence he’s having on the troops. Some mercenaries we hired for our militia started partaking in his sick games in the south of the island. What’s more, yesterday he tortured and killed a soldier because he believed that he was an accessory to the assassination attempt.
And I don’t need to remind you that Brother Number 3 himself is indeed the result of those Trials.
Things have to change if we want to safeguard our Community. We have to get rid of senseless people like Brother Number 3, and free ourselves from the subjections to the government.
Isolation and independence are not the same thing.
Brother Number 2”
