— Breccan —I have heard word that the winter storm in London has finally passed. How is everyone? Page has been worried sick, but I know that all of you are careful and I have been reassuring her that you are all fine. Please allow me to show our sister proof of this.

Alina,

Please read this letter with Page, and in private.

While I wish I could tell you that everything was alright and demonstrate proof of this, I cannot. About a week ago, our youngest brother, Reynold, perished in the cold. Everyone else was lucky to be alive, though I had earlier messed up a charm in the house. If the school allows it and you can find time to leave your studies, you should both come home as soon as possible.
