[As for Lottie, there is a box for her in front of her dorm room. It holds the elaborate Mardi Gras masks she had given him for Christmas. Attached, there is a humble sheet of paper.]
Forgive me. By the time you read this, I will be gone. I cannot begin to describe how much you have meant to me through these arduous months. Please understand that I am not returning your beautiful gifts out of spite, but rather, love.
My love for you, for Rameses, and for my people is what compels to no longer wear a mask.
I hope to see you again one day.
- Moses
