MY TIME AT SANDROCK GIFTS HOW TO

Kept reminding me of how you left, though, I mean, not that I'm sad or anything. A little embarrassing, if I'm honest, but it made me laugh regardless. I was even at your house yesterday, she cooked a massive meal for everyone! During dinner they were telling stories about when we were young. I guess she got tired of waiting for you to come home, and instead found a smarter, more beautiful, kinder version of you. Sooooo, your Ma has already replaced you. This letter has a story photo and a Handmade Scarf attached. The second letter is received on Day 14 of Summer, Year 1. It'll be a great reminder for how long you've ABANDONED ME! I'm joking. Remember that orchid I planted before you left? Well when you come visit you'll be able to see how much it's grown. Speaking of which, I need to go and take care of my flowers. I know you think that's super boring, but it's actually really cool! I've always told you how similar planting and building is, but I swear, you never listen to me! Maybe some day you can show me those legendary desert flowers!

I reckon I could go out somewhere, in those wild wastes, and become a real botanist! I heard they got someone over in Sandrock who's studying how to grow plants in extreme conditions.

Maybe I should try and be independent like you. My studies have been going really well, by the way! Director Luo told me I have a real knack for planting (I told you so!). You have GOT to be careful okay!? I mean, I'm not worried about you or anything. How are the people there? All 'yakboys,' right? Hahaha I remember the impression you did of Sandrockers before you went! Hilarious, but I hope it's not like that. I hope you've managed to push through your missing me to be able to make some friends (not best friends, mind. Ha! Over in Sandrock you got your Sand Bandits, we should have called ourselves the Air Pirates! Speaking of, there's no one to go gliding with me anymore! They banned co-flying recently, over 'health and safety concerns,' but that never stopped us before! So when you come and visit, (which you have to!) we'd be able to sneak out and do it I bet! You remember when we used to play together? We used to get into all sorts of trouble.

I even went to your house last night, I felt like such a doofus. I gotta admit though, it does feel a bit weird without you here. In my head it's all howdy's and guns, but I reckon it's probably much, much more boring than that.

So I know that you're currently crippled with grief over the abandonment of your bestest friend, but I hope you've managed to overcome that and settle in a little in Sandrock. Your Ma said you should've arrived by now, but it's so weird, my mailbox is still completely empty! Huh, was I wrong to have expectations? (I'm not forgiving you). Heeeeeeey 'Builder!' Ah, it feels suuuuper weird calling you that! I think I'm just gonna stick with Player.
