Chapter of a Story
To my dearest guardian,
Hello again...
It's been a while since we've last spoken, hasn't it? I'm sorry. Eheh... I appologize when I know you'll forgive me and tell me to stop. Forgive me again then. Force of habit.
Why it's been such a long time since we've talked, I can blame on current events. The sun exploded today, you know. The world is eclipsed in darkness with only the stars in the sky to guide us. No more rosy sun set... No more...
My time has been devoted to the people who have taken refuge in the Opera House. Healing the wounded, sending the dead. I know you would chide me and say that my life is more than an endless spiral. I know that it isn't, but it's something I must do. As long as I can help others, I know I am still alive.
Unlike Mr. Sephiroth, who...
I'm sorry, I'll start again.
Mr. Sephiroth died in that explosion, or so I have been told by a reliable resource named Rufus Shinra. I don't know what to believe. I know what my ears are saying, but my heart... I don't want it to be true...
I just...I mean...
I need to talk to Mr. Valentine. I haven't had the time to sit down and just talk with the man who has done so much for me, as well as Mr. Highwind or Mr. Tuesti, or... well, just everyone I suppose. This world, Vertere, is so organized to the point where dysfunction has occurred. With the disappearance of the sun, the fiends have attacked as well as a monster named Pyramid Head. This is why so many people are hiding in the dark. Like all monsters, they are attracted to the light...
Speaking of which, a man named Rosiel (or I believe it was a man) said something rather...mysterious to me today. He said: Such darkness surrounding you, yet you are pure with light/Nothing will harm you. I promise.. I feel honored, I suppose. I only can speculate...ahah, that's Lulu talking.
Rikku and Paine are here too. Though I didn't see Rikku physically yet, Paine rushed to my aid on the way to the Opera House and fought back the fiends before I could say goodbye. I almost cried...It was like seeing everything I knew embodied in one person, though I was aware I was not home.. We'll see each other again someday. That's a promise.
Promise...hm....
There are two children, a robot/child, and a fairy who I am very fond of: Cooro, Nana, Al, and Sugar. I hope you meet them one day. I know you'll adore them. Right now, we're scattered as well. I think Cooro hurt a wing, but he's trying hard not to tell anyone. What a brave little soldier. Nana reminds me of Rikku a little: She always knows when something isn't right. So caring... And Al? For a child that size, he's very gentle and graceful. He may have a crush on me, but I'm not too sure. He's rather sweet. Finally, Sugar the snow fairy has eaten away at my heart, always somewhere at the base of my hair. It's strange...not having her there anymore. I need to find them.
I need to find them and let them know that they are safe with me.
I have to go soon. But I promise I'll talk to you sooner rather than later.
Sweet dreams...
Everytime I told you I was scared or hurt, you'd rush to protect me and I'm grateful...grateful... because in the end you'd tell me to stand on my own. To fight. To fall.
I wouldn't be able to do this without knowing that you are there waiting for me.
Come soon...if you can. If you can't, don't rush. I'll just wait for your whistle.
