Ghosts.

And without further ado I present to you-

But papa, I want to go play with-

No! Don’t leave! I won’t-

Just one more kiss. I promise I-

Echoes.

This is a great meal, dar-

I’m not lying-

Oh! What are you doing? *laughter* St-

Help me with thi-

That’s all that is left of this broken world. Memories.

Locke! What are you-

Just a bit further, Realm. You can-

*bark*

Celes, just listen to-

It’s too much. I can’t take it anymore. Their voices are in my head. Their laughter is echoing off these stone walls. There is nothing. I have outlived them all. I cannot bear to see, but I have no eyes left to see with. I cannot bear to hear, yet my ears have long since stopped hearing. My hair is thin and I wonder if it’s still green.

I love your hair, Terra. It’s beautiful like the trees.

Oh Edgar. You showed me so much happiness. You helped teach me to love in a way the children never could.

Stop hurting yourself, Terra! It’s not going to help anyone.

But there is no one left. What do I do? I’ve outlived everyone. Even after we ‘saved’ the world, it never remembered how to be green again. The earth is water and rock and dying plants. I have lived past all of you. It’s not. I can’t.

Stay with us, Terra.

I want to! I want to be with all of you! Oh, please say this is some terrible dream. What do I do without any of you?

Terra!

Come back. Please. I don’t want to be alone.

You will never be alone, mama. Because we’re here.

I- I just- I want to be-

Terra! Wake up!
