Dear Zack,
Kunsel came back a little bit ago. He's in the hospital. He broke his collarbone and shattered his ribcage. I'm just glad he didn't die. I could barely live with myself if something terrible happened to him, or any of my other friends for that matter. I just go and visit him every day. People at the hospital buy my flowers. It brightens up the rooms of all the patients. I love bringing a smile to the faces of the patients. It's amazing at what the little things do. Every day I cut flowers to sell, every evening I donate the rest of the flowers that didn't sell to the hospital because they don't last more than a few days.
Mom says that it's really nice that I do that for the hospital. I just want everyone to appreciate the little things in life. People just bowl through life too quickly anymore. They don't stop and sniff the flowers, begging my pardon about the pun but it's true and it fits the situation the best. People just rush through things anymore. They don't enjoy the small things. They can only focus on how miserable they are. I want to help change that. Because if you had seen the smiles on the faces of the people I gave flowers to, you would want to do it too. I have had my fair share of hard times. Mom wasn't always able to put food on the table sometimes. If it weren't for other people, things would have been a lot harder when I was growing up.
Some of the people who helped me back then are gone now, either joined with the Planet or no longer in Midgar. So by helping others I can sort of pay them back. I wonder if they helped mom and I because they owed someone else… Either way, I am still putting all of my efforts into helping others. Maybe this is what you feel when you go and protect people from monsters… It's a good feeling, though, whether or not it is the same as the feeling you get when you go and save people. So how are you? How do you feel right now? I heard that winter was coming in Nibelheim soon. Do your best to keep warm, okay?
I still worry about you.
