Mmm... Life... It has such twists and turns. It cannot be measured and yet you know what it will throw at you. I suppose I should have expected this surprise to show you someday, but still... when it happened I wasn't prepared for it. I have to admit, he's far stronger than I would have ever imagined. He's the real one, not the copy I know Sora has run into before. Hn... ironic, isn't it? The one thing I can do better than my original is... l i v e.
I was ... injured... I'm rather glad Cloud wasn't there to see it. It would have broken him. The vision of Aeris' death kept haunting me afterwards. I know... I worried people. I know I still am. But I had to do it. It was the only way I could think of to save the people I was with.
Funny....
You expect to save lives by ending your own... Sweet irony.
Well... wouldn't the most ironic thing be that I survived?
And of course I woke up to the faces of people... who knew my original. I'm.. very grateful that people came to see me.. but I don't think they came to see me per se... more like they came to see how Aeris was doing the second time around. I'm sorry... I wasn't up for conversation. I will have to find you all in person and tell you that.
And Cloud...
Thank you... really. Thank you for everything. I'm going to get off Radiant Garden for a short while, but as soon as I come back, I would like to tell you in person what your words meant.
