Dear, lovely Starlight!
Thank you for your letter! And no, I am not sick of hearing from you, in fact, I really, really, really love your letters! Just go on and write me many, many more, they are such a HUGE joy to read!
You say you want to have small talk with me and that's absolutely great! Like, it's so great that I ran miles in my cage! You know, all the way around the sides of it! Small talk is what I want to hear, so tell me everything you have and what's happening to you! I'm so eager to learn about your days, Starlight!
Like, your love for kites! This is really so fascinating, what you described me, I could really picture it! I totally forgot that I'm sitting in this stinking, rotten cage, you know? I want to hear many more such things, so geek out about everything and as much as you want!
I can't tell you who I was flying kites with, but I've done it myself and it really is fun! The kites I was flying always had the shape of grapes and other fruits. I don't remember why anymore... but that's how they looked!
If you get me out of here fast, Starlight, then we can rebuild those kites, I remember exactly how they looked! But you really need to do it fast, if not, I might forget how to build them!
Oh, trust me, I would really love to draw the kites I was flying for you, but down here in Tartarus, there aren't any pencils to do what with and they would just look bad without colors... But, like I said, get me out of here quick, then I can draw them for you and you can watch!
I count on you, Starlight!
With so much love!
Cozy Glow

Trixie leaned in on Starlight, her eyes fixated on the letter. “Don't you think she exaggerates just a tiny bit?”
Starlight smiled down at the letter. “No, I think she is just very happy to have some distraction from her nightmares.”
Short but good, as always!
Yep, Cozy went nuts. Tartarus was a bad idea.
Very nice! Cozy has her lovable personality shining through in this letter. Now, as I'm sure Trixie believes, is this cozy playing her manipulation games? Or is it, as Starlight thinks, cozy Glow genuinely seeking a way to feel better in her current situation?
I like how she really pushes for Starlight to get her out. She is direct, but indirect at the same time. Kind of like she's teasing, "You want to fly kites? I want to fly kites! If you get me out, I'll be someone to fly a kite with! The sooner you get me out, the sooner we can fly kites!".
Again, is it a manipulation? Or is it honest? Only time will tell. :)
Wow. More please! That was good!

Thank you, I'm glad you think so! I am going through a phase right now where I have little faith in my abilities as a writer, but I am glad that others don't share this unhealthy mindset with me.
"Letters to Cozy Glow" will continue and there will be more. Things have been a little bit shaky again lately and still are, but it's starting to look better and more organized again.

Glad that I gave you a little confidence boost. Keep writing, because this is great!
