I haven’t been in touch with any of them this past year. I’ve been busy. No. That may just be an excuse. Maybe I didn’t want to see anyone… after they started going down a new path. That’s a lie, too. I want to see them. I didn’t have the courage to go see them. 

That’s why I became a reporter. So I could gather as much information as possible on everyone after we split up.
