Not much left, just a few drops of water. The experiment was a success. If anyone even saw these, they’d never think of them as evidence. They certainly couldn’t trace them back, I don’t think, to their previous home. Still; might be best to stop that from happening. It’s not quite perfect and I don’t like imperfection.
That’s why I tried it on him first, why everything I now do needs to be perfect so suspicion does not come to our; no, my door. Careful now. For the time being it is privately the latter while publically the former, please.

Shalom,
