020 // Voice, forward-dated to Tuesday morning
[Someone is very, very upset today and for once is not going to any lengths to hide it.]
I'm assuming most of you read the news regarding the--the unfortunate incident for which the Felton production The Answer is being blamed. It's not quite my place to issue any formal statements on the matter, and most of the cast is being told to keep quiet, but...
[A slow breath.] I simply cannot with any integrity let this matter go without being addressed. It's not fair to them, those kids. It's not... [He scrubs at his cheeks.]
I'm handing in my resignation from Felton today. And I'd like to ask that you keep these children in your thoughts, or--or prayers, what have you. [Another deep breath.] And if anyone is dealing with thoughts of hopelessness--and I assure you, in this place it's completely understandable--please remember that you're not alone. Ever. Even if you feel like no one is there for you, I-- I am. Okay?
[A bit of sniffling and he hangs up.]
