At school, there were definitely questions regarding the legitimacy of the note and there was a strong discussion regarding if they should call Dark to ask about it. The signature seemed mostly correct, but there was something about how the note was written that raised an eyebrow or two. Ultimately, one of the secretaries said she was going to call, and then went into the office and shut the door and waited for a little bit before coming out and saying it was a legitimate note.
That was not to say she believed in its accuracy: if she believed that, she would have called. But her son had been born prematurely, and she remembered those long sleepless nights spent worrying. Her other son was six, and lord knows his behavior backslid during that time, too. It didn't seem like it would help anyone if she followed up on it---she'd save that for if it continued, and made a little note to have their guidance counselor check in with them.
Some, but not all, of the family had come over to the hosptial anyway, so Dark and Daizi were occupied. Zeinab was at home with Neha, diligently preparing the proper Sebou dinner, while Fadia, Amira, and Saladin were with them, spending as much time as they could with their new relative before it was time for them to go home.
