Dear Mom and Dad.

We ran into a group of mutants last night. I was kinda worried they might attack us, but it turns out they're just like me: normal mutant civilians with pretty harmless powers who can't get through the checkpoints. One of them can kinda make things float, and another one can make pain less painful. She's pregnant too. I think we're going to stick with them for a bit. I don't know where else to go, and at least there might be safety in numbers.

Dear Lauren.

You didn't drag me into this. It was my chance to go with you. You're my sister, I love you, never forget that.

Dear Mom and Dad.

I need to get a padlock for this thing.

The others have set up camp in an old hostel. It works pretty well, since it can be boarded up and no one really wants to break in. I guess we're staying with them now.
