"Monsters called tuks lured your niece away with promises of affection and freedom, things she was desperately longing for and not finding at home. It took them barely ten seconds to convince the child that the two of you were evil. Be very glad that I had been tracking the disappearances and came in time to save her. Most of the other children ended up as meat at the local butcher's store. I thought you might want her back sooner rather than later, so please pardon the mess."
