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?

permavoice for bigpants unless otherwise noted;
Well... you'll have to be sure to remember everything you've learned. There's no telling what good those lessons might do you in the future.
Maybe you'll be able to avoid more of those... moments in your life you end up regretting later, thanks to the things this place has taught you.
[He's quiet for a moment before he figures he might as well ask something Sora's video got him thinking about.]
Uh, about what you said... How you are who you are because of the good and the bad? What if... [Shoot, second thoughts, second thoughts. But too late to cut the connection and blame it on the network now.] Have you ever tried to figure out who you would have been if you hadn't made mistakes? If you... Or not you because you're a great young Keybearer, but if someone could have been a lot better person without the mistakes then...
[He just kind of cuts off there, sighing at himself.] Heh. Never mind.
[And throat clearing.] It's nice of you to offer to listen to people talk about their regrets, Sora.
