I haven't heard from my family in Brightling since the rioting started.

A lot of communications lines are down, but still, it's worrying.

I just feel so isolated.  Maybe this was the wrong decision.  How can we salvage anything like a normal society from this?

And you, you're just making this huge gesture or whatever you think you're doing.

Why am I even talking to you?  Nobody even knows how this damn communications channel works: not even Belacqua.  There's just an icon that tells me you're listening.

I hope you're listening.
