Knowing you, you're trying to hold the town together, which is great. Also knowing you, you're trying to hold yourself together, which is probably harder without your favorite lady instructor there to dispense wisdom and motivation and beer and... stuff.
But! ██████████████████████████, apart from the whole dying in your chest thing. But thanks for volunteering for that, seriously. Felix or Rail Tracer or Chane's husband thought it was super romantic-- HA you just sputtered, right??
Anyway, hopefully you don't need me to tell you this, but make sure you sleep. Drink a beer every so often for me. Pet your dog, I hear that's therapeutic. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Speaking of Russell, though-- he had some things he wanted to say to you, but he also wanted my help so we're sharing a letter. Here he is.
[ Russell's part begins with a scribbled out 'I'm sorry'! Who wants to bet Sara told him to cut saying that shit. ]
Thank you for listening to me on Thursday night, Mr. Barnham... You don't have to blame yourself for what happened because I'm happy you decided to support me anyway.
Uhm
I never written a letter to anyone so I don't know what to really say... You've been seeming really sad lately, so please take care of yourself. There are other people... Other than Ms. Sara and I that really like you and need you too, so seeing you sad makes us sad too and I know you're a strong man... So -- like you told me on the first day we met "keep your head up high, and have hope."
I was afraid to die and Ms. Sara told me that means I'm learning how to value myself . . . . . That's a good thing, right?
[ At the bottom of the letter, in crayon, Russell drew a picture of Constantine!!! He looks happy! Yes, it definitely looks like a 14 year old drew it, there's an arrow pointing to Constantine and it also says "I'm still kind of afraid of dogs... But can I try petting him if I ever get the chance?" ]
MILLA
Milla,
When you said 'look after Yuna', I didn't think that meant 'get a two-hour-long lesson on flowers' because I made the mistake on saying something about her bookmarks. I now know way too much about really dark roses and five hundred (or five I GUESS) colors of carnations judging you for life choices and nasty
sorry, nasturshums? Nastershuns? Whatever, I'm sure she gave you the flower lesson too and you can pronounce the damned things a hell of a lot better than I can. Our flowers back home are simple things like lino flowers; they were starting to bloom again before I got dragged here, but don't tell Yuna I really don't know what they represent.
Don't worry--█████████████████████. You stay strong on your end, too. And make sure to have a drink for me.
Cheers,
Sara Valestein.
NOCTIS
You should really shave or your facial hair might stab Ash if he tries to make out with you again.
Then again, that might be what you're going for, and in that case, an extra layer of defense couldn't hurt.
That aside, no matter what, believe in your friends. Which is cheesy, I know, but I've come to learn it's the one lesson that hasn't let me down yet and I thought I should probably end this letter with SOME teacherly advice.
Besides the first bit. ███████████████████
Fight on!
Sara Valestein.
PAPIKA
Hey, Papika! I really hope you haven't had to punch Shinnosuke multiple times this week, but if you have...
I'm sorry, I DID say it was a tall order. Do your best and if punching him doesn't work, just sing about friendship or something at him. That'll probably do the trick just as well.

PERCY
Percy,
Did you put a sandwich on my grave yet? I just now figured it'd be kind of a waste so you can go ahead and give it to your beautiful lady.
Your dog, I mean.
██████████████████. Keep your head up and don't go two to three days without sleeping or I swear I'll find a way to kick your ass from here. You won't like that, trust me. And I'll tell your girlfriend, too. Sleep! Properly!!

It's funny, the things you miss though...
