I won't be writing this down, so you won't be able to find these words in any book. I only have my memories—what's left of them—and even though now I'm wondering if it is only in vain to archive these thoughts of mine, I feel that I must. For you, my friends and our Master, our enemies and our allies alike. Ours is a story that should not go untold, no matter how painful it is for me, no matter if it is only the mad ramblings of a Lingering Sentiment.
 

As of now, I'm all alone on a dying planet, a graveyard, my body gone, my soul intact, and my heart broken, but this isn't where my story begins. Nor is it where it will end—I know this somehow.
 

To let go is to die, and to die is to let go, and I shall be doing neither.
 

My name is Terra, and while I've told this to many people in many worlds, this will be the very last time.

 

--

 

I find myself with all the time in the world. The moon doesn't move, the waves only ebb and flow and my face remains the same. My ghosts threaten to haunt me now and sometimes the darkness makes it hard to breathe, but don't worry. I only have to remember us, our friendship, and this little charm of a dream that bonds me to the both of you, and suddenly, my dark beach is full of hope.
 

And I know our bonds are still intact because I feel them, only they're a little more spread out, and even if I don't find my way back to the light, I know someone out there—Sora, his name is always on my mind—will remember me. My Ven, My Terra, I still believe in you.
 

I won't let your memories go.
 

My name is Aqua, and even though I've told this to many people in many worlds, I fear this may be the last time.

 

--

 

I wake in the light, thinking of you. And I want you to know that I'm safe here, with Sora. Little Sora, with a heart big enough to share. He was nice enough to accept me, and I know you'd like him if you ever get the chance to meet in the future. Ha, I'm sure you'll both be legends by then.
 

So you don't worry, my heart doesn't feel fear anymore, only gratitude, thanks to you. Thanks to the both of you. Right now, I only need to sleep a little longer, so if you can just be patient and wait for me...I can't wait to see you both again. Who knows, maybe I'll be strong enough to take you both on. Wouldn't that be something?
 

Until then, don't ever let go of our dream, okay? I know I won't.
 

My name is Ven, and because I've told this to many people in many worlds, I know this won't be the last time.

The first person-ness(not a word, hah) makes it all hte more beautiful. I also like the parallel construction-nice touch :D. Not to mention thinking about the BBS character endings also makes me sad in general. D:

Thanks. The way they all ended up is very sad. :,(

And Terra's ending depressed me the most. I really think he got the short end of the stick, compared to the others. Poor thing.

YOU ARE FOREVER BREAKING MY HEART WITH THIS KIND OF EPIC THING RIGHT HERE!!

I... can't... decide...which part was my favorite... Terra's part was heart breaking and sad, Aqua's was heart breaking but hopeful but sad, Ven's was heart breaking but light and happy.

YAY! ALL-CAPS TRAIN!

No, I'm like so obsessed with these characters right now. They're still so new and shiny and just...fsjnskgdsfn

Glad you enjoyed.

Oh my .___.

I really love the differences in their endings - it won't be told anymore, she fears it'll be the last time, and he knows it won't be. It's such a plain but obvious and wonderful insight to their characters, which I think fits so very well.

Thank you for writing and sharing!

I went in thinking this was going to be cake to write, but it was kind of hard sorting out their individual voices. ^^;;

Especially Ven, I think I had the most trouble with him. He's such a happy little thing...

lol Thanks for reading and commenting. Just made my day <3

Awwww. So sad. :*(

I just got sick of not knowing so I ended up watching all the cutscenes subbed. I told myself I was only going to watch Terra's story for research...and ended up watching all three. :/

I'd feel bad for spoiling if I didn't seriously just subject myself to five different levels of awesome, all at once. The game is great, just know that. lol

I pretty much just pick up enough to get by until the game comes out in America. Or until I finish it.
