Hey, it’s Hannah. Hannah Baker. Don’t adjust your…whatever device you’re hearing this on. It’s me, live and in stereo. No return engagements, no encore, and this time absolutely no requests.

_{I think I’ve made myself very clear but no one’s coming foward to stop me. Some of you cared. None of you cared enough. Neither did I and I’m sorry.}

It’s powerful and painful just to imagine what Hannah’s last days were, to try to understand what led her there, but if she wanted to end her life, we weren’t going to stop her. I cost a girl her life because I was afraid to love her. You can’t love someone back to life. You can try. 

I know the rumors, Hannah.

Better yet, ask someone who’s been in a hurricane.
