Light's letter home:
Hey guys! I'm doing great here at school, I have awesome roommates, the campus is huge! I've been accepted into the athletic division of the school, I'm sure dad would have rather had me join the academic division, but, apparently, I have a great throwing arm, what's nice about these divisions in you have the opportunity to earn scholarships to college. I joined with another student from my dorm room, he's… Interesting to say the least, but we get along.
Mom, I don't think you'll have to worry about me being lonely here. I've made good friends, and I think they're the first group of people I've ever actually liked being around. I hope that, one day, I can introduce you guys to them.
Love always,
Raito.
L's letter home:
Watari,
It appears, I, yet again, have found the misfit toys. Albeit, they're a strange bunch they have this desire to want to be around me, I find this fascinating, I've given them no reason to want to do so.
There's an 85% chance that they are all clinically insane. The likelihood that we will all stay friends throughout the years is abysmal. But, nevertheless, until then, I will, with relish, endure their company.
I have also taken the liberty to join the competitive academics division, as to keep my deductive reasoning sharp.

Nate's letter home:
Lorita, remember when you said if I wasn't more social I'd never make friends? To prove a fact, that I have indeed made friends, I have enclosed a photo of all of us after the Club Fair. And before you accuse me of only making friends with my roommates, I assure you, this wasn't my idea.
They're overall friendly and highly defensive of each other. Don't worry, other than a boy named Beyond, they're innocent enough… I have yet much spectating to do on him… He is interesting...
In this picture you'll see six of us… Yes, that's a smile! Don't you dare judge me. You know me, I'm on the far right of the photo, the one in the center crushing me into a hug with his arm and smug grin, is Light… He's friendly. The one next to him, his name is L, yes, seriously, that's his name. He's quiet, very introverted, doesn't do a lot of talking or smiling. In the row behind us, the one in the center pulling the other two into the picture, that's Beyond, he's… As I stated previously, interesting. I have a feeling he'll be the glue that keeps us together. The one on his right with a goofy smile, his name is Mihael, but he likes to be called Mello… Which I find strange, it's a polar opposite of his personality. And on the other side is Matt, his name is Mail… I don't blame him for wanting a nickname.
Tell mom and dad, that I love them both… But, I'm still mad at them.
As always,
Nate.
Matt's letters home:
Sargent,
I made it to school with ease, finding my room was another matter. I have allied myself with an interesting group. We all tied for the top score on the entrance exam. I have joined the technology group with a boy named Nate. I start this following week.
I will report back with more information as it comes…
I love you dad,
Mail.

Mom,
I miss you, I hope heaven is everything you dreamed of. I'm having a blast with my new friends, they're great people, I joined a club with one of my roommates, he's a pretty cool dude. Remember when you told me, that in life there will be people who make you strong?
I think I found them,
Love,
Your Matty.
Mello's letter home:
Hey, mom, dad, James, Sophie, Ana, Tommy and Dean!
I made it! I told you I wouldn't get lost! But, it seems I can't escape this little brother curse I have, we're all the same age in my dorm room but I already feel like the little brother. I got great friends, don't worry about me. I joined the theatrical group, so like you said dad, I'll use my talents more constructively. I might even get a scholarship! If I'm good enough…
Anyway, Dean, you don't have to worry about me getting picked on… My new roommates Light and Beyond, they look out for me.
I'll keep in touch,
Mihael
Beyond's letter home:
Mrs. Grant,
I promised I would write, I suppose I should do this every week so you're not worried. I did like you said, I made nice with the other boys in my dorm. And, you were right, it was easier than I thought. I suspect they'll help me keep my grades up. I joined the athletic teams with another boy named, Light. I'm glad you talked to me before I left. As the director of the shelter you didn't have to. But I appreciate it. It was more than mom did.
By the way, if you see her… Can you tell her I love her? And, that I miss her?
Before you worry, yes, I'm eating, and I'm glad you gave me to opportunity to take that test. I think I'll be able to break free of that lifestyle that mom lives.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Beyond.
