alright, look, I wrote the statement we agreed to put out and I wrote it that way for a reason. we wanted to minimise our embarrassment and humiliation and the ammunition we were handing to freaks and bigots, and we didn’t want Sophie to harm herself or get harmed by anyone else

it’s deliberately terse, and if it doesn’t talk about what we want done or what kind of ‘rehabilitative process’ we want to happen, it’s because the only way I could force myself to be at all dispassionate was by not mentioning those things
