"Hi Mari. It's me, Basil. I have Sunny here with me too."
"We told them all the truth, about how you died. It was hard. I woke up to Sunny crying on the floor explaining everything, I had to help him because his voice was breaking so much."
"I still remember their faces, when it was done. Hero was shaking so much, he looked like he wanted to strangle me. But he just stomped out of the room and slammed the door. Kel ran after him. And Aubrey.... I don't know what I expected. Her to punch me, or to scream at me. But she...."
"She just fell. She fell to the ground and started crying."
"The doctors came into the room by then, and they had to drag her outside because she was screaming so loud."
"I wanted to cry then. It was over. But everyone was going to hate us. And Sunny was still going to move."
"But then.... Sunny... He just smiled at me. Like everything was going to be okay. And it made me smile too."
"I've been discharged for a couple months now, but I had to stay in a mental hospital for a while. Sunny just left the hospital. His mom is letting us hang out today before he leaves."
"I made Sunny promise that he would tell his mom the truth too, and that he would get help like I did."
"We got flowers for you. They're called purple hyacinths."
"In the language of flowers, they symbolize sorrow, regret, and forgiveness."
"We hope you can someday forgive us for what we did to you, and that you can live happily, wherever you are."
"Well, we're going to go now. Polly gave us a coupon for Gino's, so now we have to use it."
A submission for Sunflower Week 2025. Day 5, purple hyacinths.
