บท 123: Happiness

Hearing Jess's voice made me think that this was rather convenient. After all, the person that was technically my half-dying father got me to pass a message along to Jess with his letter.

I would've preferred if he just sent another letter to Jess, but I guess that might've been a bit much to ask since it wasn't exactly easy for him to send the first one. It definitely was still his fault for not being concise in the letter, but still.
