The boy's features darkened at the thought of the ex-captain. A war was going to begin, and he needed to be there.
Hitsugaya knew few here personally as he'd ended up keeping much to himself, and hadn't really made a great deal of friends. There would be few farewells for him, but to any who passed by and gave him a glance, a nod would be given.

"So, what's waiting for you, back home?"

"War."

"Same. War and an enemy I can't find." He was silent for a moment, then shrugged. "But we'll win. I just have to remember what I learned here, that even the strongest enemy can be beaten if you do something they never thought you would."

He'd been waiting for this moment since he had arrived, but he hadn't expected this world to leave as much of a mark on him as they had. He had made and lost a friend. He had fought with a skilled comrade in battle. He had met a young girl with boundless energy, a strange obsession with him, and yet, a good heart.
The unsent laughed quietly, humorlessly. There was nothing to be done for it.
Except...
The guardian's hand went to his waist, unclasping the jug at his side. He raised it, not too high, and took a short drink.
For the fallen.

"Mr. Auron!" she said brightly, though there were tears welling up in her eyes and it was a little obvious in her voice. "I'm really glad you're okay! Then again, of course you'd be okay, you're pretty much the coolest guy here and probably the best fighter... so I really wasn't worried at all. But I'm glad you're okay anyway!"

"You give me too much credit," he replied, though there was the barest hint of a smirk on his face.

Maya's tears were becoming a little more obvious now. "You're going back to your home, aren't you, Mr. Auron?" she asked. "So am I. So I can see my sister again. But if it weren't for you I wouldn't even be here to be going home, so..."
A tear rolled down her face, though she smiled. "Thank you for everything, Mr. Auron. And don't worry, your secret's still safe with me."

Six months. This was six months. How much had he been through? More than he ever could have... more than he could have ever thought he would survive. More than he ever would have thought he could have experienced. Things he'd never known. Fears, worries, friendships, magics. Plots and ploys, dangers and mysteries. Things broken. Things fixed. Some of them things he hadn't known had been broken.
He wasn't wearing his suit, or his glasses. Some random set that he'd needed. His headphones had gotten a few scuffs and marks, but they were still his. And the person coming back... it wasn't the Spin who had come in. But he was still himself, right? Who knew what the result would be, but it had happened.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end was right
I hope you had the time of your life.
There was nothing else left for it, now. This was the final steps. The last goodbyes. This was the endgame.

It was probably just the wind though.
Probably.

He finally turned to give Harry a small smile. "It's weird. You'd think a person gets used to this kind of thing after a while, wouldn't you?"

I'm on the road again.'"
"Spin, you only get used to this sort of thing when you're dead. Change is what makes it life." He shrugged. "But just because it's changing, doesn't mean it's ending."

He knew, he knew she couldn't abandon her world, any more than he could abandon his, but he also knew he couldn't live his life anymore without her and their baby. It just wasn't possible.
That's why he was doing what he always did, he was finding a third option.
For now, though he was content to take her into his arms and hold her close, his own tears merging with hers.
"I'm not going to lose you."

Riza never wanted to let go of this moment. However, she knew she couldn't be weak. She had to be strong for herself, Harry, and their child. Riza had to steal herself.
"Good. I wouldn't accept it any other way," she said, voice low enough so that only Harry could hear.

"I have contacts," he said, half to himself. "The Gatekeeper, the Fairy Queens, some other assorted organizations and individuals. They all owe me favors, and I'm going to collect. I'll get all the information I can from here on your coordinates, and I will find you. More, I'll do it before our child's birth."
His hand found her stomach. "I'll see her enter the world."

Sora wondered if the Islands would be just the way he remembered them.
This world had changed him in so many ways that he'd never expected. He'd met so many people, so many that had grown close to his heart. It felt...full, of people, of thoughts, and hopes and worries and plans. He'd grown up, but not lost himself.
Through this mess of thoughts that filled his heart to overflowing, he did latch onto one thought: I'll use the gummi ship and find everyone again. We won't forget each other.

And what was he going to tell Aerith? How could he tell her that she'd have to wait for him again? She would already have to wait if she was going to an earlier point in time than he was, he didn't want to prolong it.
While he was mulling over all this he saw a familiar head of spikey brown hair.
"Hey, Sora..."

"Sora! Cloud!" Kairi took Sora by the hand, pausing at the pendant hanging from his shirt. She looked up at Sora, wondering what it meant. She had a good guess.
