The Memories That Still Remain...
What She Left Behind
Those who enter her room will find that it's fairly clean. Save the stack of books on her night stand... and dresser. Most of them are fictional. But there are some more scientific or theoretical ones. Most noted are ones about memories. There are two dresses in her closet. One of which she wore to the masquerade. The other she wore to Gilbert and Naoki's wedding. Her coat will be gone, but they might notice a shoebox full of shells, string, and the like left over from Christmas. There's one keychain that remains, too. Although the designated owner for it is left for people to make guesswork of. They will also find a collection of little bags of seeds that she started to collect over winter to plant in the spring, some pouches of tea left over compliments of Gilbert, and a bag of seashells (given to her by Roxas).
If they check the drawer of her night stand, they will find her journal. She's been keeping it since not long after her arrival at the city. If someone should choose to read it, it will reveal what she was and her worries about what she could have done to Sora and Roxas there. It also uncovers her fears of her effects on Ventus. And her wish to tell people the truth and guilt for not doing so. There's a lot of happy memories, too, of course. But these are the guarded secrets to be minded. It is also in it that she openly admits her platonic love for the people closest to her.
Letters Left Behind
In the bottom of her dresser, it seems she reserved a section of it to hold these. Each letter has been carefully rolled up and held with a string. And in the middle of each recipient's letter, they will find a sea shell.
["Axel,
If you're reading this, then I'm sorry. I've gone back to where I belong whether it was my choice or not. I've done it again, but this time at least, I want to think that it might not be the end. That maybe Sora will set things right. But even if that never happens, I'm glad I got to be with you again. You may not remember me. You may even have forgotten me all over again by now. But those memories back in the Organization. Even if you don't remember them, they're real to me. I couldn't forget them because that would mean forgetting something so important. And the same goes for the memories in this city. They matter to me so much.
Axel, even though we've struggled a lot here. Even though sometimes you've pushed me away, you have and always will be my best friend. You know that, right? Oh. And, of course. Roxas, too. You both mean so much to me. Thank you for being there through everything and for just being there and my friend again. I'll keep those moments memorized. For forever, I hope.
Xion"]
["Nao,
If you're reading this, then I've gone back to where I have to be. Maybe it's not the place I want to be, but if you've seen the way Sora is, I think you'll understand. I'm still glad I got this chance in the city though. Glad I got to meet you. I was really scared at first. I really... didn't know what to do or how to deal with the city. And I was afraid for people to find out what I had done. But when you did, you didn't hate me. You just accepted it. And that was more than I could have ever asked for.
I don't know when we'll meet again. But even if we don't, just know that I'm glad I could be your little sister, wasn't it? And you're one of the best brothers I could ever have. I hope you end up going back home with Gilbert. I really think you would be happy there. No- I'm pretty sure. Alice and Oz seem pretty nice. For you to not be alone... It would make me really happy. Thank you. For everything. Even if the memories fade away, I'll never forget you.
Xion"]
["Firion,
If you're reading this, then I've probably gone back home. So... I'm writing this so you know that I was really happy to find out I was more than welcome to go back to Flynn with you. But... there's something back home that I need to do. A friend that I can't abandon now. Still, I really hope one day I'll see the dream you shared with me. Fields and fields of those roses you like. No war. Just lots of roses for everyone to enjoy. It sounds so beautiful. I'm glad you shared it with me, but I'll be even happier if it ever comes true. Thank you for being there for me, even when I held so much back. I really did start to think of you as a brother.
You made me feel so welcome here. And I won't forget that or you.
Xion"]
["Gilbert,
If you're reading this, then I've gone back home. So, I'm writing this to let you know how happy you made me in the city. I was really happy when you came to take care of me when I got sick. Thank you so much for that. Oh, and your tea. It didn't go to waste. I drank a lot of it. It's really good. Thanks for sharing that with me. But I guess what I really want to thank you for is for taking care of not only me but Nao. I feel like since he's met you, he's been a lot happier than when I first met him. You'll take him back to your world, right? Because I think that's where he really needs to be. There with you.
I'm glad I got to meet you. And I hope you two will always be together. Thank you.

["Aqua,
If you're reading this, then I've gone back to where I have to belong. And I'm sorry. I'm sure you saw me as Ven just as Terra did. But it's so hard to explain. And I don't even know our connection. But if I hurt your friend in any way, I really hope you'll forgive me. But if you don't, I understand. Even if you hate me though, I was really happy to meet you. And the soup was really good. It made me wonder what it would have been like to have a family like that. Or maybe I already had one this whole time and just didn't realize it. Best friends can be like families, too? I hope. Thank you for looking out for me and always being so nice. I won't forget it.

["Maciel- and the dragonlings, of course,
If you're reading this, then I've gone back home. So, I'm writing this to thank you. For being there when the Heartless invaded. To worry about me as you did, I... It made me happy. I really wanted to spend a day with all of you. I wanted for these days in the city to never end. Even when things could be sad, it was those like you that made me so happy to be here. I wished they could last forever, but there's something I need to do back home, a friend I can't leave behind. So, this is really for the best. Thank you though. I'll never forget any of you.
Xion."]
["Lavi,
If you're reading this, then I've probably gone back home. But I just want you to know that I was really happy that you showed me the library and taught me about it. I've never been to one before. At least not that I know of. So, it was something really new to me. I learned so much from it, too, and it's all thanks to you for showing me in the first place. Oh- And thank you for being patient with me. I never felt silly around you. I won't forget what you've done for me. Thank you.
Xion"]
["Hope,
If you're reading this, then I've gone back home. But I just wanted to thank you again for searching for Naoki with me. And for being so nice to me since then. I only hoped I could help you in some way, but I guess I can't anymore. But I know that Naoki would. Conan seems to know a lot, too. So, I would talk to him about it? Again, thank you though. For being so kind. I won't forget.
