Regan read the Academy's reports on River -- your daughter is progressing well, extremely gifted student, diligent and eager, succeeding beyond our expectations -- and she was proud and happy.

There were -- the letters to Simon, of course, the silly games that River tired of quickly, but they sparked his hunch that under stress led to mad obsession, led to --

Regan never got any letters from her daughter. They weren't close; she never expected any. Never got any personal letters from dance camp or summer courses either, just postscripts and cheerful waves to the whole family.

Simon's delusion was -- and, and River, Gabriel says River --

She's staring at her husband, shocked white and speechless.
