Hi, this is Bo, co-writer of Flashfire. I want you to know that even if you are in pain, or you feel that it's hopeless, or that you aren't worth it, you are important to someone. Even if you may feel those things, I have felt it too. I am grateful for all of my friends, and if you ever need a friend or someone to talk to, send me a message and I will always be here to respond. You are not alone, not ever.

Best regards.
