Tenth Journey // Video - Backdated to earlier today
[You're very tall today, Siren's Port. Or rather, Sora's in a place high enough that we should all watch our step or risk a very, very long fall. Sora's rather at home at the edge of the rooftop though, and the NV's steady where it's been set. Sora's busy chewing on his pencil's eraser, pondering what to write.]
I've been thinking. We've all got things we regret. We beat ourselves up, even if there's nothing we can do about it.
[Sora's pencil takes to the paper, scrawling out his thoughts.]
'If I could just go back in time, maybe I could fix it. If I could do it all over again, I'd really change things! Make it all better.'
Right?
[He finishes decisively. Then... turns it over, folding it lengthwise. Corners down, foldback the edges and... there. One completed paper airplane, wings branded with Sora's distinctive handwriting.]
The other day, a really brave friend taught me something important. Me and my friends, we've been in some pretty scary places. When you're lost in the darkness, it can get really hard to find the light.
[He pushes up off the ground with a small bounce an stands upright on his own two feet.]
But it's always there-- you just gotta look for it. I mean, if things never happened the way they did, who knows where or even who we'd be. I'm me because of the good and the bad. Mistakes and all. I'm me because of my memories, and the people I've met along the way. Including everybody here in the Port.
It's not easy letting go. Sometimes it takes forever. But one thing I know that really helps... [One flick of his hand sends the paper airplane flying off the edge. Sora shields his eyes from the sun and stands right at the edge, watching as the wind sweeps it up and takes it on a spiralling path out of sight.
Feels good.]
... is having a somebody who'll hear you out.
So how about it?
Ever look back? Or wish you could do something all over again?

I don't think I ever really thanked you for that. I ah... well, nobody'd ever thrown me a party like that before. And I know it was your idea, so don't even deny it--you're the only person who even knew the day.
