After a long silence...

We've all had the weekend to digest what we learned. If anyone has any concerns they'd like to bring to staff, I can do so for you if you're not comfortable approaching them.

I encourage everyone to talk about this openly and honestly.

[Squad 11]

I know this is hard. I just want to say two things:

One: We're going to be fine! We're well prepared, well equipped, and well aware of the stakes. All of us are going to make it through this, happy and successful.

Two: But if you want to go home, none of us will be disappointed or think less of you. We'll miss you, of course, but we should be here because we want to be. This is voluntary.

You're all very important to me.

Right. [...] I understand. I'd hate it too, but [...] so far it's taken at least two ventures for us to clear a dungeon. Chances are, it'll be on Squad 11's turn that we finally track down Joss' the boss Shadow.

I forgot to tell you. I was accepted EA to UNC Chapel Hill.

I hope so. I want to see Joss again and [...] I don't know. Tell him I'm sorry.

Oh! That's amazing! Of course you did! How's their journalism program? I assume good, but I haven't researched it.

Yeah. [...] I feel responsible for them too. They used to be just like us.

It's one of the oldest journalism programs in the country, yeah. With incredibly close ties to media outlets in the state, so I could probably get a job in North Carolina as soon as I graduate.
