I wake up nights sometimes thinking of everything that could go wrong before we have a chance to make it right. MLE and the Council may sort out what we're trying to do, and in anticipation, may start simply killing Sleepers to prevent the possibility of our giving them freedom. We may be missing a vital key that only a handful of people know of, which may very well die with them if there is to be a conflict. But we must try. We must.
And although I doubt and worry and fear and question, I do trust you. Please know that. Your level of care and concern will never be taken for granted, and I know you hold yourself to the highest standard. I will take your cautious optimism as a good sign indeed, because I know the degree of thought that's gone into it.
These people are not subjects in an experiment, they're patients under our care, and we will try our best to do right by them.
And Severus, I know this is necessary, and important, and you have my fullest support. The best we can do is put one foot ahead of the other, hope for the best, trust that we're headed in the right direction, and learn from our mistakes as we go.
Are you getting enough sleep? Do you need anything?

I'll bring tea over tomorrow.
