4. Detention (no puns allowed)

[continuousgroaning]

the school year's barely begun and i've already landed in detention

i mean it is kinda my fault and at least the guidance counselor here is better than Mr. Frond was

[some time later, she adds:]

And i just got 2 days tacked on for being caught on my device

so I guess my point is I'm full of all this frustration and aggression & I'm not used to feeling this way so how do i try and burn it off?

It must be hard living here without them. Perhaps one day the Porter will be controlled, and you will be able to return home. Or bring them here, if you are so inclined.

You have power now, whether you expected it or not. What is up to you is how you will use it.

Every month I keep hoping they'll appear. not that I want them to be stuck here, but I miss my family a lot. especially at times like this.

That's something I'll need to think about. I want to use it with care.

That is only natural. If I may say so, I think they would be proud to see how well you have fared for yourself on your own.

Care is certainly necessary in matters of power. But so is decisive action. Do not let yourself be restrained by fear. If you are ever in doubt, you can come to me for advice. I would be happy to assist.

I hope so. I know a few people have said my parents did a good job raising me, so they'd be happy to hear that too.

I appreciate the offer, sir. you're kind to offer!
