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.

Well...okay, but how could I get a letter to someone if you can't?

You?

[He goes quiet and still for a long moment, the surprise evident on his face. First he doesn't speak because he has no words; then he takes a few seconds more to recover himself and avoid saying the wrong ones.]

Is there something you need to tell me?

[That allows him to relax, which is silly—it's not like Sora would know how to leave even if he did intend to do so.

And it's not like wanting to stay would keep him here.]


Not everyone who leaves wants to.

So you wrote them down in a little?

[He doesn't like to think about it, but he knows Sora's right.]

Must be a long letter.

[I don't want that to happen.

He shakes it off. Puts the thought away.]


Yeah, sure. Where?

[That gives him pause, just for a moment. The usual spot. He supposes it's there, now, even if they hadn't meant it to be. And it's theirs.]

I'll be there.

[Roxas isn't sure he wants to be here. Not hanging out with Sora; that's fine, even desired these days. But the unstated purpose of the meeting hangs heavy in the air, and he doesn't want it to become more solid than that because then it'll be real. The thought is just too final.

But he's no coward, so he steps out of the portal a little ways down the beach and walks toward his Other. His friend.]


Hey, Sora.

[For a split second, Roxas considers making a lame joke, with a choice between gently mocking Sora's conversational skills, his handwriting, or both, but instead he goes iwth honesty and shrugs.]

I dunno. Never tried it before, unless you count my diary. And that's not really the same thing.

[He hesitates before answering, but doesn't try to dissemble when he does.]

Yeah. A bunch.

I'd be back there, you know? Trying to get to the castle, fighting Riku...you know what happens next. I don't know if having been here would make a difference.

I like to think it would. Somehow.
