A mysterious woman has sent a letter to someone she does not know but has been watching, explaining that with her death comes the passing of a danger to the recipient. She apologizes for failing to protect the person from this threat, which will now haunt them until they can succeed where she failed or pass it on to another when they die. She has left her research to help guide the recipient against this new threat in her place.

1. MYSTERIOUS WOMAN (NARRATOR):
If you have received this letter, then it can be
presumed, I have died. And with my death
comes my failure to protect you. To save you.
And for that: I am sorry.
You do not know me and I have never met
you physically. But I know you. I know
everything about you. It was necessary to
understand why you were next, just as it shall
be necessary for you to know why I came
before you, and why your own successor shall
be next should you fail.
It saddens me that this burden will now pass
to you, as it was passed to me and the many
before us both.
Understand that you are in danger. You, and
all you hold dear, until the day you die, and
the danger will pass to the next person like
you.
You must try to succeed where I failed. I will
help you the best I can, and accordingly, I

2. have left you my research into the burden
that will now begin to haunt you.
To you, this will merely be the ramblings of a
departed lunatic. To me, this was everything.
And while I cannot help you in any physical
form, know that I, and the many before me,
will be there to guide you. And, in time, you
will notice us.
In the shadows.
