Dear Zack,
Sorry I haven't written in a while. Things are getting harder here. Mr. ShinRa passed a new law. They're allowed to charge us for the amount of Mako we use per household. It's hard to make ends meet, even with selling the flowers. The ones at the church aren't going to be enough. I have to find a way to grow more. Reno suggested growing more of them around my house, instead of just having the tiny bed of flowers I have now. Kunsel said he would help me if I wanted to. Hopefully the soil there will be fertile enough to keep the flowers alive. Just imagine it, Zack, an enormous sea of flowers all around my house. Wouldn't it be lovely?
But then again you might not be a flower person. I suppose there are those people who have allergies. That would be terrible. I couldn't imagine a single day without my flowers. They are my passion. I don't get to run about and save the day like you. I don't even think I could, even if I wanted to. I'd be too afraid. It's a scary world out there, isn't it? There's danger around every corner with plenty of monsters to do you in.
Tseng said courage is about doing something, even though you're afraid to do it. So I suppose I shouldn't be afraid of something as silly as the sky, then… But your eyes, they're as blue as the sky and they aren't scary at all. But when I think of your eyes I think of just how intimidating your smile is. You aren't scary, not like the other SOLDIERs who have been running around lately. They think that just because they're SOLDIERs they can do whatever it wants and it makes me so mad. They have no sense of honor. Sorry for ranting but I had to get that off my chest. Mom says its bad to keep it all bottled inside. She wishes that I'd open up a bit more for her but its hard to do that.
I hope this finds you well.
Aerith
