(Songs for this chapter;  A Lady, Bloody Nose.)

Left alone, in this endless sea of flowers. Beautiful white flowers..
Below me, the flowers I lay onto are soft, warm and brimming with nostalgia.

My white flowers are home, and I have lived in this field for as long as I can remember.

I see distant dreams, hazes of memory, always good. Some memories are of not - so - good times, but nonetheless everything turned out alright. It always did. My friend was always getting into trouble, yet somehow snuck out of it. The flowers beneath me grew, shimmering in the light that shone onto my life.
Adrenaline. That's what my flowers brought. The memory of running faster than my legs could handle and toppling over into safety after a huge rush. It was delighting, to re-live those moments. Soon enough I found myself calming down.. Finding peace in the arms of a friend.
Endorphins. That's what my flowers brought. The feeling of excitement and satisfaction filling my body to the very brim. Seeing plates filled with food spread out on them, after not have eating for weeks.

Serotonin. That's what my flowers brought. Concentration and steadiness, I was a good fast learner. I was kind, thoughtful, even peaceful and fair. I sought for warmth from others, while unknowingly bringing it to those around me as well.

Dopamine. That's what my flowers brought. The motivation to do things for my people, for

myself, and the pleasure I received from seeing their overjoyed faces whenever I had done something for them.
Oxytocin. That's what my flowers never got to bring. I was too young to have felt love like that, I told myself over and over. In reality, I had loved my friend. So much so that on that one day, I find a new emotion that my flowers bring to me.
