[Melissa is so, so done with all this, and she sounds like it.]

Just a heads up: Karl is going to be unavailable for a little while. I don’t know how long exactly, but he wanted me to let you all know he’s not going to be around. He also added that since he won’t be at school, if you’re in his class whatever you had assigned is now cancelled.

[There is a slightly irritated and exasperated sigh on her end.]

Don’t worry, he’s fine. He just being stupid. He’ll be back soon. [he better fucking be back soon.]
