[The message is public. He has too many people to send it to that he doesn't want to have to filter or tag individually. He's clearly up on a roof somewhere, bundled for the weather.]

I've put it off for as long as I can. I gave the social worker a story about wanting some time with study outside of school before interacting with my peers, due to an unfamiliarity with Earth, and they had me do a school online? For a little while.

But I've run out of time. I've run out of excuses and they want me to go to the meta school, but they said the teachers are Guild-Affiliated.

I'm not going to a school that'd encourage their students to join the guilds.

And I'm not staying with a fake family that hasn't earned my trust.

I'm only putting this message up so people know not to look for me. I have a plan and I've prepared for it. I'll be in touch. And reach out if I need help.

[Jason just barely stops himself from wincing at that response and what it means about Hunter's life before he got to this version of Earth]

It's different here. You got people who care about you because of you, not because of your status.

It's great you got friends here like Dylan.

[badbutsadboy]

I know. And it helps a lot with missing the friends I have back home who care, too.

[Although at this point, he's now been friends with his friends here longer.]

[He blushes when he thinks about Dylan.]

Dylan's definitely a good friend. He gave me a gift for this...Crustmas? Holiday. And he didn't even care that I hadn't known to get a gift for him.

[robintohood]

Yeah. Christmas is meant to be a holiday to do something kind for someone, regardless if you get something in return. I got something for you too. You can set up when and where to meet.

[badbutsadboy]

Why did no one warn me about this?!

I didn't get anything for anyone.

[He's failing at friendship so hard.]

[robintohood]

That's fine. I doubt anyone's gonna begrudge you for it, especially when you don't have a holiday like that back in your world and didn't know about this one.

You're technically not obligated to do anything.
