Dear Calico,
It’s been about a week now since I saw you. It turns out I have a defect. I'm losing my eyesight, and now I'm stuck in the care home. I tried to get out, but I didn't make it, so for now I'm here.
I just got out of the med centre. You remember the hole in the fence? The one that got caught on my clothes sometimes? I managed to get caught on it when I was trying to run to Edgeline.
Speaking of that, I tried my best to get to you. I really, really did. But the guard caught me, and now they watch me constantly. Even right now, I have to be supervized while I write this. I guess they're scared I'll use my pencil to try and escape. Crazy right?
I'm hoping that I'll get a chance to leave soon. I'm sorry that you've waited so long already. Trust me, I would much rather be there with you. I'm going to try and see if I can get my brother to bring you this letter. If not, I'll keep writing you letters and give them all to you once I escape. That way, it will be like I never left. You won't miss anything.
See you soon,
Slade
