[Casper's always poor handwriting is even worse than usual.][Warded to Asher, Rafael, Leo, Sy, Diego, & Ebonhide Junior Boys]Ms. Rhee told me after class.
Mom's gone.
I
went to see her when I was in Los Angeles and she got worse after that. Let go. I guess.
So I'm leaving tomorrow. And I'll be gone a while.
[...]Sorry if I sound strange. I feel strange. Mufferaw gave me a draught. Because I'm not all right. I will be. Because I've got no choice. But not yet.
[...]I'll miss you all. I don't care how that sounds. Fuck it.
I miss her.
[OOC: Posted in the evening following this. A handful of these characters have knowledge of the situation with Casper's mother in whole or in part. The rest...don't. Casper is out of it and the ward is broader than it should be, including the people that he trusts and the people that he feels the closest to. He'll be staying in the infirmary tonight and leaving tomorrow to go back to California for his mother's funeral.]
