VICTOR: Hi Jason, it's Victor. Guess what? One of the share houses I looked at has offered me the room! I can move in tomorrow!!

I wanted to tell you as soon as I could, and Kane said that since you're sleeping, I should call you and leave you a message, since your phone is always on silent for calls, and you always check your voicemails as soon as you wake up. Which is totally weird, by the way, who still uses voicemails?

Anyway... I just wanted to say thank you again. For everything. I've already thanked Papa Bear in person, so... yeah.

Thank you. When I came to you I wasn't sure I'd survive the month, let alone have my life get any better. You gave me somewhere to sleep, you gave me a job, and you protected me from my Dad... and you've become my dearest friends.

My life is like... really good now, and I feel really optimistic all the time. That's... I never thought my life would feel that way, especially after what happened with my parents. You guys really saved me, in more ways than one. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I'll see you at work tomorrow.

VICTOR: Hey Kane, it's Victor. I'm calling you instead of Jason because it's like, 1am, and I know you'll be asleep, and I know you guys are really into this voicemail thing, which, again, is super weird. But it's nice you've got a thing. Everyone needs some kind of thing. Anyway. I thought I'd leave you a message since I know you guys like that, is my point.

I'm about to go to sleep, and then I realized, this is the first night I've slept somewhere other than the Best of Luck Bar since I got kicked out of home. And... it's my room. My own room, in my own sharehouse, with people I like and who accept me, all of me. And, okay, the house isn't great itself, but that's what you get on a part time income, and hey, it's secure and there's no vines growing through the walls, so I'm calling that a win.

Then tomorrow, I get to wake up and go to a job that I like, with people that I love.

I just... I can't thank you enough for everything. You guys have helped me so much, and you mean so much to me. I'm going to miss late night hangouts and conversations with Jason, and I'm going to miss late breakfasts with you, but it's not like I'll never see you again. Hey, I'll be right back there again tomorrow for work.

But I just... I wanted you to know, that you've made such a difference for me. Thank you for everything, Papa Bear. See you tomorrow.
