Dear Zack,
I know it's been a long time since I've written. Years, in fact. In that last letter, I said I wouldn't write anymore. I suppose that means I've lied, but I felt compelled to send another, even if only to sort my thoughts onto paper. It truly will be the last because I don't know what will become of me.
I know you've returned to the Planet; I sensed when it happened. There may be no point in even writing to you, but I'm worried about the Planet, and about Cloud. I met him recently, and I know you knew him too. He's trying so hard to cope with everything, but I can tell it's difficult. He's not being himself... I can sense that too. I think maybe losing you is what's both keeping him going and also what's weighing on him the most. I don't know what will happen to him if I fail. Or even, perhaps, if I succeed.
I suppose he'll carry on. He's a fighter. But please, Zack... if this reaches you, help him. He's strong, but he may need some encouragement from someone who can really get through to him, and I may not have the opportunity myself. I think he'd want to make you proud. He doesn't say it, but he misses you terribly. I miss you myself.
I will be attempting to save the Planet in my own way. I can't fight, but I can speak to the Planet itself, and ask for its guidance and power. I don't know what it will ask of me in return, but I am prepared to do whatever it takes. I think I must want to make you proud, too.
I hope this letter reaches you swiftly, wherever you are.
Until next we meet,
Aerith
