006 Those Things Send Us Down A Road
[Someone sure was missing from classes and didn't eat all day. His handwriting is different than usual, awkwardly paced, as if pausing when finishing some of the words trying to decide what to say.]

You're amazing company. I - I want to do something to make it up to him, to prove him he didn't die in vain you know, like, he risked his life for me. He always told me he thought I was going to be someone special - parents always tell their kids that, right? I think he was wrong. What else could you tell them though? "No, I think you're going to grow up and let people down." That doesn't go over well.
