There is still no word from my father.

But behind the scenes, we are scrambling.

On April 11, two documents reveal what was happening in his absence: a letter sent to the school’s staff and a bill of sale quietly signed at home. Together, they show the reality we were facing — empty accounts, payroll looming, and a family trying to protect both a business and a reputation.

While he remained silent, we were buying time. But... was he doing the same?

This episode contains the full documents, read in their entirety.

🎵 Music Credit:
Opening and closing music features Moonlight Sonata performed with permission by Paul Pitman. This piece is used intentionally. My father often played Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven on our piano at home, and I remember sitting in the hallway listening as a young child. Its presence in this podcast reflects the emotional atmosphere of these events — restrained, familiar, and unresolved.
