I wasn't even sure if the upgrade would do anything for me. My father had said he programmed it for Bryce.

You're probably right. I thought...I thought for awhile I'd just want my regular life back, you know? But then it became pretty clear that even if I wasn't the Intersect, my life and the lives of my friends and family still could be in danger. And Sarah and Casey would be assigned to other missions all over the world. I don't want anyone to come after those I care about and not be able to do anything to help them.

And thanks, Hiro. You're always welcome to call me too if things get too crazy.
