Why did it have to be so difficult to be Garreth? Social anxiety had always been a problem for him, but never had it been more apparent than when he had to make use of services like those offered at the post office. Even purchasing things at the store had been difficult for him in his earlier years. Anything that required interaction with complete strangers had caused him a great deal of anxiety, and while he was getting much better at it, this time was no exception.

This would be the first year's first time mailing anything all by himself, and he didn't really know the process. He saw the Questionnaire on the counter, and figured he'd have to fill one out, but he wasn't sure. And all the different owls! Did he have to choose one? Oh, this was all so confusing! He really wished he had someone there who knew what they were doing to help him through it. Then again, that would be good to have, no matter the situation.
