[There are a lot of scribbled-out words. Those of you who can read Portuguese (Eridan) or Greek (Cyrus, Eridan) might be able to make out little words and phrases in the pink scribbles - "Help me", "I don't know what to do", "I can't" - but most of the scribbles are too scratched out to be legible.]

Could...
Could someone please come get me? I need someplace to stay for the rest of the holidays.
I really hate to trouble anyone, I'm sure everyone's having a lot of fun with their families and friends, but I don't know what else to do.

Please.

I can't stay here anymore.

I don't know what to do, Professor! I just...I have to leave. I can't come back to this house again, but I don't...have anywhere to go.

My nanny...
She was the only reason I had to stay here, and now she's...
I didn't know she was so sick, Vidia.

I'm staying with Karkat and his family for the rest of the holiday.

I hope Karkat and his family take care of you.

Thanks, Vidia.
I'm sure they will! Professor Vantas and his wife are really nice. And of course Karkat too.
Even though he doesn't show it much.

It's going to be really different, though.

I'm sure it well.

Best wishes, dear.
