I am at a loss for words. To see a place that felt like home through the lens of an arial news camera, to think of students trapped in a seventh floor lab, waiting for the police to come save them from who knows what gun waving fury, to recognise the smokers pit of the front doors, dispite the bloody smear on sidewalk, and to watch these students

Mansbridge interviewed one student and asked her if it will be hard to go back to school. She said adamantly that Dawson is such a peaceful place and such a strong community, and that it will pull together and prevail.

She's bang-on. It's such a special place. I feel like it nurtured me, and let me come of age. I know it did for you too. Those were pretty impressionable years, and I couldn't have asked for a more organic place to spend them.

Two days ago, I was starkly reminded of a morning spent sitting under the trees outside the C wing. I went there, because you went there, though to this day I'm not sure if you were consciously heading to be outside.

I remember sitting with you and contemplating tragedy and realising that it was a very, very good thing that I had someone next to me.

death_lurks came and found me in my class to tell me the news. He was also the one who told me the news, five years and two days ago. He won a ton of points, there. He found me because he knew our community, as removed as he and I are from it now, was under attack.

Seeing the images of what happened there brought me right back to you, for some reason. My time there revolved a lot around you.

It sounds stupid, but an event like this made me wonder if you were okay, along with everyone else.

Holy crap... :-(
