Peter,

Do I think Manuel will fuck with Amanda's head? Absolutely. I hope she survives the experience. Is there anything I can do about it? I'm doing everything I can to make Manuel a functioning member of society, darling, but I'm not the sex police, even if I do happen to have the right uniform for the job.

We're still discovering the limits of Manuel's powers - ah, how often have we heard those words before? - but if you're asking me if he can force someone to think they're in love with him, I think the answer is yes. Could he make someone believe they want to sleep with him? Yes. So could I, my sweet, but in my case I suppose they already do.

Does that mean he doesn't have the right to make his own mistakes in life? I don't know. If he's doing anything of that sort, it's not necessarily voluntary. It's not quite the same as slipping Rohypnol into someone's cosmopolitan at a nightclub. I don't think so, anyway.

All I can do think to do is to put all new students through the same psychic defense classes that the established students have been through. If any of the girls - or boys - have cause to be nervous, they are welcome to attend extra sessions. But I won't add a course to the curriculum entitled, 'How to defend yourself against Manuel de la Rocha'. Not unless we're adding one for Marie, one for Jono, one for Alex - should he ever return - and so on. You see my point?

One last thing. You mentioned drugs. Please bear in mind, Manuel is little more than a recovering addict after what Shaw put him through. So am I, actually, but I'm a little more experienced than our resident Casanueva. Let's look for alternative solutions before we resort to better lobotomies through chemistry, shall we?

Much love,

Emma.
