Soul's sitting in the library at school, way too early for most people to be there. He's reading a letter in flowery, old style script, small letters on small paper, at least 10 of these papers long. Every so often, he takes a page and methodically tears it into tinier, smaller pieces.

He does not look very pleased, that much is obvious. But hey, that's why he's reading it somewhere that nobody'll be this early - he can just go on and hide it after, and forget it ever existed!

Wishful thinking is always interesting, eh?

Even with the tiny voice, it's not hard to overhear Crona, and it's not hard to locate him, either. "You're still... using corners, Crona?"

Uh-oh.

"A death sentence," Soul says, vagually, and then blinks, forcing a laugh. "Nah. Just a letter from home."

'Just'.

Nobody but Demon knows anything about Soul's family. And even he only knew because he'd forced his way into the knowledge; or maybe, perhaps, you could say he was the knowledge personified.

"Gotta make a home visit," he says, shrugging. "Granny's asking for it."

"Somewhere between yesterday and today," Soul says. "She likes thinks done her way."

He was resolute about the inevitable before; now he's pissed, if it's making Crona sad.

"Don't wanna," Soul says, and works on shredding the next page apart. "Could just pretend I never got it."

He stares down at the papers, and glances at Crona out of the corner of his eye. "But if I hafta go, you could finally meet Wes."

"Most of 'em are a lot of jerks, so you'd be right."

It's, uh, preeetty cleaar that he seperates himself from that family in name, now.

"And yeah, it'll be worth it, just... don't let anyone get to you, alright?"

"Okay," Soul says, and takes ahold of Crona's hand.

He's really not planning on letting go anytime soon.
