Cloud's back. He always comes back.

How come they never bring Papa back? He's really strong, too, and he could help around here like he did before. He was really good at moving big things and keeping everybody working together, and making sure nobody did anything bad if he could help it. He's a good fighter like Cloud, so how come...

I like Cloud being here, because I really miss him when he's gone, too, but it's just not fair that he always gets to come back, but Papa doesn't. They bring other kid's Papas, but not mine. ... Maybe he's just really busy back home and they need him there more than I we need him here.

The ash turned red. Is that supposed to happen? There's a lot more of it, too. I can't see very far out the window because there's so much. I wish it would stop. I want to go outside and play, and see if my friends are okay.

... You guys are okay, right?
