[It looks like someone left behind a handwritten note. It's a bit difficult to make out everything that's written, given the...sheer amount of glitter on it, but it says the following:]
My Dear Beloved Human Friends,
Your efforts at banding together against our cruel captor and his machinations and threats against the people closest to us -emotionally, not physically, which I feel the need to point out due to my vastly superior and keen intellect- are greatly appreciated, but I must take matters into my own brilliant hands. Due to my fatherly paternal instincts and also a lack of faith in all of you, I can only trust myself for the safety of my innocent little Vanessie.
That includes trusting others to help with the plan, and to make this sacrifice on her behalf. And I suppose on the behalf of all your hostages too, by possibly-happy coincidence.
If the rest of you manage to survive this without my aforementioned amazing genius, tell my daughter how heroic I was specifically for her and build a statue in my likeness.
