Its now been a year since McKeyla was first placed in the RAFT. Ever since McKeyla confessed to wanda why she didn't fight, wanda stopped visiting McKeyla
Today was a special day. It was McKeyla's 27th birthday
Guard: "Van Dyne you got a package"
McKeyla: "god can you stop calling me that. I've told you now a thousand times to stop calling me that"
Guard: " I have not"
The guard scoffs
McKeyla: "yes you have, ive kept tracked"
She holds a journal up
Guard:no one cares Van Dyne"
McKeyla opens the journal and clicks her pen. She draws a tally in the journal on a page
McKeyla: "1001 times"
Guard: "whatever, here"
He opens the cell window and hands her a package
McKeyla: "thanks i guess"
The guard walks away
McKeyla: "i never get packages...whats this about?
She places the box on her bed and rips the tape off
McKeyla: "a note and another box... hmm"
She picks it up and opens the letter
McKeyla: "dear McKeyla, happy birthday. I know you are probably wondering why im writing to you but trust me youll enjoy it...hopefully. I also know you probably dont want me to write to you but well here i am"
She continuous to read the letter
McKeyla: "once again happy 27th birthday little sis, love your older sister (sorry if that offends you)hope"
McKeyla: "well i was not expecting that..."
