I think the end is near, Squall. I heard about the explosion of hormones down your way. That's gotta be fun. Much better than down here in Esthar. We recently had an outbreak of the Chimera Plague. It's nasty. It's a disease that sometimes can be lethal. Otherwise, it's just chaos. Vomit everywhere, usually with blood. Some of my kids have it and I have to keep them quarantined. It's very demeaning for a child to be quarantined. Scooter is one of them. I hope he survives. He's a brat, but I still love him to tears.

The death rate of the disease is 10% when treated, 75% when untreated. Believe me, Scooter is treated. So is Flat Face. I have this girl, Flatty, she just has the worst luck when it comes to being hit in the face. She walks into walls and trips and falls. It's insane how often her face gets smashed in. Her nose is starting to flatten out even. Poor girl. On the plus side, she's starting to come of age and she's starting to grow into other areas. Soon nobody will call her Flatty.

I'm scared for my kids, but I got them treated quickly, which is supposed to help the death rate decrease yet again. Still, everybody in Esthar is walking around wearing face masks. Man I wish we were more like Balamb area. You guys walk around wearing condoms and you're fine. If you accidentally get somebody pregnant, then you just send the kid to the orphanage here where junior will contract the Chimera Plague and die from exploding jugulars. I was at the store and saw somebody die of the disease. Aisle 12 will never be clean. So much blood.

It's scary here, Squall. I wish Daddy would come back from Balamb and help us. They stuck a moomba in charge of Esthar and he's failing to say the least. I wish I knew what an O. Dean was and I wish I knew why Daddy felt he needed to stop him. Something about creating animals and rap music? I'm confused and scared for my children. I hate having to be the tough one and tell the kids everything is fine. What if Scooter or Flatty die!? Squall! Ahh!

Love,
Sis
