I'm writing this because I met a wonderful girl today (Hello, Ami!) and she had the brilliant idea of starting up a study group here in Chicago. I think it's an excellent idea, particularly for those who are having a difficult time being away from their schools and so forth. Education is essential, and I think this will be a lovely way to share ideas and continue the learning process (which possibly was halted upon arrival to Chicago). I think it will also be quite a lot of fun, and it's a wonderful way to bring ourselves together. :) I think we can tackle quite a few subjects, as well, which is wonderful. We could meet at the library, of course, or perhaps in one of the cafeterias? I'm sure we can work something sensible out, and suggestions are very welcome.

I'm not far from my room (###) in the basement and quite near the top with Kae. We can see light, actually. It sounds like there's quite a few other people down here, as well.

Harry, you're all right, aren't you? You are all right, yes? I can't write for long. I'm going to go see if I can help move a few things. Please, please be all right. I've kept my promise. I hope you have your journal with you.
