It takes her a while to send the next message, but unlike in the last argument, it being text means she can get it down without losing her thought track or immediately getting into a shouting match.
I want you to understand where I'm coming from, Erin. There are vampires in my world and you know what they're like? Literal humanoid leeches. All they do is hunt humans. Hypnotise them, take them home, drain them. No higher functions. There's that thing that whispered to Calvin that was probably never a human, it was just there to get into Calvin's head. There's a being that was created entirely to eat other people's lives and replace them. I don't think like this because I want to think like this. I think like this because I've seen it.
And I'm worried you're going to treat her the way you treat every other monster and she's going to use it against you. That's what the thing Helen is does when it's not just tricking people into its doors. It uses a human face to lure people into a false sense of security. To make them doubt their reality and get past their defences. If you treat her like you treat everyone else she's going to find a way to hurt you anyway.
