Children's Home
Emmy,

It's been a week since you left (I'm not sure when you'll get this) and I don't know what to say. Jacob's left, he's in a foster home now. No new kids. I mostly read now. My birthday's in a month, but I don't know if I even want to turn 9. I miss you, is that worth saying? They're trying to teach me signing again. I hope your new family is good, and that they realize how lucky they are to have you.

First Year
Emmy,

So that school that came to talk to me? I'm there now. It's this big old building up north, and I had to take the train to get there. The classes are really interesting though. Trouble seems to be everywhere. I met a girl named Clove — she's nice. Somehow, with the stuff I'm learning, everything seems to be coming around somehow. I can't really explain it. But seriously, this school seems like fate for me, like it's always been my fate to come here. Good fate.

I hope things with Hannah work out, she sounds fun. And I hope you guys win the footy match.

Second Year
Emmy,

Sometimes I really hate this place. There was this building out on the grounds than fell on me. I didn't do anything! There was no warning sign! But it fell on me, and I got in trouble. And the professors somehow see that as fair. And the other kid who was there broke his arm (does that make me lucky?). He doesn't talk much, but with him it's not annoying the way it usually is when people do that. Maybe it's because that's the way he actually is, and he's not like most people, who just ramble on and on and never actually say anything?
