Apple Heart
Your arrival is marked by the feel of sand under your feet, with the sound and smell of the ocean wafting in from behind you. A dampness hangs in the air and the sky is overcast. Directly in front of you the sand fades into a grassy hill, on top of which a white castle rests. To the left, a little ways off, you can see tall sandstone cliffs. Off to the right is a large field of sunflowers that stretches out into the distance. There are no paths or signs anywhere to be seen.
Letters

I thought writing to you might help. Should I help you keep up with current events? I don't know if that will make much of a difference, but I don't think it can hurt either. There's someone new, since you're gone...His name is Yuki. He's a little skittish, but that's understandable given everything, right? I'd like to get to know him better. He seems like a very good person. He's got friends here like you do too. I think it helps a little to have someone here that you know. Uhm...I told him we could support each other so I hope he takes it to heart. I do hope you can come back soon; being in a Book doesn't sound fun at all.

I'll admit it feels a little silly to be writing letters to a book. It feels like I'm waiting for a response if I write them, you know? But that's the point. I thought maybe if someone talked to you a bit then you'd come back. Only I don't know what to say. I'll think of something good and then write it out for you, okay?

Hey, I still have that flower crown we made. I'd almost forgotten, but I found it the other day in my trunk. I didn't want the flowers to whither so I ended up pressing them. Is that too sentimental of me? They're pretty, so I'd like to hold on to them. We've got a lot of flowers around; I find it peaceful to be around them.
Breath -
Some days I'm glad you're in the Book because I know you won't be hurt.
Breath -
We built a greenhouse! You should see it, it's positively wonderful. Much better than the rest of this place; I only feel like I'm outside when I'm inside of the greenhouse, it's that stifling here. When you get out we should pull up a bunch of these tiles and plant some grass.
Breath -
Shion came out of the Book. I didn't know her, and you didn't either, but she was on Sapphire before. Maybe it just takes a while? Hang in there.
Breath -
We made a scrapbook for Aoko and a few days later she came out of the Book. Uhm, she's on Sapphire now. You didn't get a chance to meet her but I suppose you'll see her whenever you get out. Should I be making a scrapbook for you too?
Breath -
Bubbles came out of the Book too. She left right before I got here. I sort of ran away when I saw her...I think you'd like her, though! She's got a lot of energy.
Breath -
There's a girl from your home on our team; right now we're calling her Nil. Zuko knows her, and she remembered you. She said your name is Aang. You don't mind if I use that, do you? She speaks very highly of you, it's sweet. I like her a lot! She's been very understanding and supportive. I'm really glad that she got here when she did.
Aang -
I think you'd get along with Aladdin. He's your age, or around there. I don't know about Candy...but maybe you'd like him too.
Nil -
I'm sorry. I was upset, and I panicked a little when I found out you were gone. But I think you'd scold me if I wasn't polite. I do hope you come back when you can, though. You'd like Lavender, she has a lot of spirit.
Aang -
Star came back on another team. I didn't know him before though, so you wouldn't either, but it's still worth mentioning. He's said we're cousins since he was on Sapphire before. Whenever you get back I'll have to introduce you. Now you've got a family back that you didn't know about before, isn't that nice?
Nil -
I feel like I already know what you'd say, so there's no reason to ask you to scold me. I guess I just wanted to say thank you anyways. I'm still going! Some days it's hard, but I believe in myself. I can do it. Thank you for being there for me.
Aang -
It's been a while, huh. Today makes it two hundred days for me, I think? Ah, I wasn't thinking of it at all until just now. It wasn't a very good day. Not that any of that is terribly important. I'm sorry I'm a bit impatient. I hope you're doing well.
Candy -
You really didn't pick the best time...I'm sorry. Hopefully you come back soon. Yuki's going to make some more sweets for you. Maybe you can still get them like this?
Vanilla -
There's a lot I want to say, but it's hard to put it into words. Maybe I'll just have to wait until you get back out. I'm sure I'll see you again soon, so hang in there until then.
Nil -
I think, when you're back, I'd like a hug. But it's embarrassing, so don't tell anyone.

It's only been a few days, and now Maple too! Well, I don't know what it's like in there, but make sure to look after her, okay? I'll get mad if you don't. Your new teammates are very friendly, I think you'd get along.
Locke -
Rude.
Sunflower -
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I I hope you stay safe. Take care.
Vanilla -
I miss you.
Aladdin -
I don't really know what to say, but I thought I ought to say something. Try not to be in there for too long? You'll get hungry...
Aang -
You've got quite a bit of company now. Though I don't know if it can be considered company like that. I'll have to ask whenever I see you again.
Aang -
Mau left today. Goodness, I wonder if you'd recognize things like this. Well, it's not bad.
Vanilla -
It's a little lonely. But I'd appreciated it if you didn't tell anyone. You really ought to meet Killua; we're good friends and I think you would have a lot of fun with him. Somehow, he seems like the kind of person you'd like to tease. And I think he'd tease you too. Plum is very curious and a very fast learner. You would enjoy her insight and her unique outlook on things. I can take a picture of both of them so that you can see. I think you can still see them like this.
