I ought to have done this...maybe four or five months ago but change was never something I was particularly attuned to. Change and me were on different wavelengths.
I graduated two inmates and I'm...heading home. To Chuck.
And I just wanted to, to, um...
Thank you. Everyone, all of you. For..making the changing easier and for letting me stay as long as I have and for making this place harder and harder to leave.
It's hard to leave. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done even though I know it's time. Past time. That...probably says more about my time spent here than anything else I could say.
...Yeah. I know I'm stalling now, so I'll just...
Thank you. For the memories.
[Private to Bleu]
I'm sorry I wasn't so much here for you as I should have been. Is there anything I can do for you? Before I go.
[Private to Hannibal]
I'll be checking in, periodically. When I can. Your graduation was the one I wanted to see most.
[Private to Abigail]
I left the rest of the records in a box by your door. I'm hoping that wasn't too forward.
[Private to Esther]
You're better than you give yourself credit for. I really...really do hope you find your way.
[Private to Dean]
Dean, I...
I know you don't really know who I am. You don't owe me anything. At all.
But if I could just...see you. To say goodbye. It would mean everything.

Except for that one...major, pressing issue, I felt we could have been friends.
Do you cook any meals that weren't at one time people?
[Private]
Date: 2014-08-27 12:29 am (UTC)We could have come very close.
[And it's certainly true: he likes Ned. He always did.]
Yes. More often, I should say. [There were times when it just wasn't feasible.]
