Through Thick and Thin

Fragments

   Maybe it was because of the shock of seeing Sachi in her condition or the... I don't know. I don't remember anything that happened this week or maybe even month. I had so many questions. Why was I at the hospital that afternoon? How did she get in that state? Who is...

   I woke up with a major migraine. Why am I here? I feel I need to do something, but my mind is blank. The only relevant thing coming back is... A random name, phone number, and an address... There is some reason these are the things I can recall in an instant. I can't just sit here and wait for someone to help me recover my memories. I have to do it myself using them.

   After getting dressed into something more comfortable, I look around the room once more. All I see are a variety of creams, browns, and reds. Nothing special. It is a regular hospital room. But, I look on my bedside table and I see flowers. Specifically, hydrangeas. The light indigo flowers seem to be whispering to the wind from the ajar window panes. I look upon their emerald leaves and see the words on the page near them coming alive, speaking to me. It was adorned with a white ribbon and... Wait. I recognize that handwriting. I have no idea where, but I am going to figure it out. I just know it. I pick up the letter and start to read.

"Dear Asuna,

     I got you your favorite flowers, hydrangeas. I miss you so much. Your doctor told me about your amnesia. So, you might not be able to remember me, but I promise you that soon you'll remember. And, everything will go back to normal. I haven't been able to visit much. But, I will find a way. I love you so much. I mean, I haven't loved somebody so much before. So, there is nothing I wouldn't do for you. Don't worry, I will get you out here. Compared to what we have gone through, this is nothing. Hopefully you will remember soon. I will be coming tomorrow morning if that is ok. I will arrive around a hour or two after breakfast. Let's hope by seeing me, your memories will come back.

                       With Love,

                            Kazuto (Your Boyfriend)

   This shocked me. How could I not remember my boyfriend? And, what does he mean when he said compared to what we gone through, this is nothing? What have we done to make this nothing? Well, I got to keep my fingers crossed. If he is who he says he is, and if he can get me out of here... He will be my savior. I know I said I needed to do this myself, but... There isn't much I can really do. I could run away, but that would be doing more harm than good. I mean, who knows what other health problems I may have. It is better if I stay here for now. It really isn't bad. It is just the memories that accompany this place. I better go back to bed. I have to be ready for what awaits me tomorrow. Kazuto... I wonder what he is like.
