FROM: ren.kouha@cdc.org The CDC's using you, for sure. But you're using them right back, to get something you can't get on your own. You don't gotta do that, but you have two choices if you don't. You either find another way to do it, or you give up on that wish.

FROM: ren.kouha@cdc.org Yeah. You ain't afraid to ask for help, you stick by what you believe in, and you care about other people. Definitely a good kid.

You're right... If they hadn't brought me here, I couldn't have done anything at all...
no subject
Right. So you just gotta remember that, and I'm sure you'll make the right choices.
