We were about to give up, you know? Out in that hellhole, with nothing living in sight. We weren't even sure if we actually heard Zemekis' message, or if we just hallucinated it. We thought...even death had to be better than this burnt out shell of nothing.

That's what this flower is. It's...hope.
