Eleventh Journey // Video - sometime around midnight
[The night is winding down, and the house is quiet again (It's emptier than last year, but certainly just as warm.) Sora hopes he hasn't woken anyone up, but for those awake in the last hours of Christmas... how about some company?]
Hey there. Did everybody have a good Christmas?
I sure did. It's been hours and I'm still stuffed!
[Sora's reclining on his stomach on the bed, eyes not on the screen but on a notebook in front of him. It's a letter unlike any other he's written (though far more important.) The recipient of this particular document won't receive it until after Sora disappears from the port. These days, with his friends going missing from the Port one by one, he thinks that day might be coming soon.]
I wonder where I'll be next Christmas...
[He taps the end of the pen on the paper, rests his chin on his hand in thought. He's written a lot, but there's so many things he needs to say if this person comes back to the Port one day in the future. The pen finds the paper again, but only to trace idly over the first line at the very top:
'Dear Me,']
The memories I've made here, the people I've met? They're special. Even if one day, we can't spend time with each other on Christmas in the future? Deep down, we'll always remember.
[He'd honestly thought about asking some tough questions tonight. Asking about how to keep friends safe, even when you're not there. About how to keep promises when you don't remember them. How to honor precious people you'll never see again back home. Things that seem impossible to detail, even if he had all the stationary to do it on.
But that's all right. He'll figure all this out somehow. In any case, it's late. It's Christmas. Sora feels good. And he hopes everyone else does too.]
So ... [He looks up with a smile] thanks for everything.

Oh, is Santa a real person in your world? That's amazing! So you've met him before?
I'm not sure any kind of ship would be quite enough to make it back here, but it'd be pretty amazing if people could come back, huh?
video;
And it'd sure be nice to come visit. I'd be here all the time. [A chuckle.]
What about you, Ahiru. If you wanted to be anywhere for Christmas, where would you wanna go?
video;
All the time? I bet you'd have more important things to do than stick around. It sure seems like, from what you've told me about your home, at least.
Oh, here, definitely! I mean, my whole life is here now, all my family and most of my friends... I've been here so long, it almost feels like I've grown up here.
video;
[He shakes his head.] Anyway, there's a lot to do back home, but friends are important too.
[There's a slight pause, where Sora contemplates Ahiru's image on the NV] By the way... thank you, Ahiru.
video;
Um, you're welcome! But what are you thanking me for?
video;
Even when I wasn't me, you looked out for me. [The time he ended up in Vanitas' body was difficult, but she'd made it easier. It was easier to look back on it and smile now that it was over. ]
