(anything else): Yes, I am aware of the hypocrisy behind my previous statement of saying we need more humor and now writing sad stuff. Thank you. -facepalm-

Fade from Red


Please allow me to do what my heart tells me.

Everything he's tried to do before, even when it was to fix his mistakes, is all wrong.

Who is he to try and claim he knows the heart?

Those three children... Can they really be called 'children', however? Nonetheless, their hearts are strong. He knows they'll suceed where he continues to fail.

The first time he tried to help, he only hurt so many others... Riku, who would have sacrificed everything for his friends, Sora, unaware of his role even now, Roxas, the one who only wanted the truth, Naminé, with her sad smile and the knowledge that she was being used but did her best to help others regardless...

So many more. So many apologies that he doesn't have the time for. Perhaps even for those that are now gone... Dilan, Ienzo, Even, Braig, Aeleus...

So very many apologies. He can only settle for one, and hope the rest know it from this second chance he's been given.

The Second, and yet the Last.

Farewell.
