"This is Roxas.

You can say something, I guess."

Cape Canaveral. I'm heading towards Heropa now.

[ sorry phone lady, the second it was back in her hands she was scrambling to make a call. ]

audio.

[pullsheavendown]

I will be right there.

[He's basically already on the move. She can probably hear the quiet whoosh of a summoned dark corridor.]

[marxionette]

[ she sure can. she's turning around, and the second she sees him he's getting hugged tightly.

it was a good thing they shared that paopu. it would never let them be too far from each other ever again. ]

[pullsheavendown]

[He's thinking the exact same thing as they more or less crash into each other. He'd lift her off her feet but, well, they're the same height, so that isn't gonna work. Roxas is grinning so hard his face hurts.]

I missed you.

[marxionette]

I'm sorry for disappearing.

[ again.

but they don't have to worry about that anymore, do they? sure, they might vanish from here one day (though she hopes not) but - this is no longer the only time they have. there's a future waiting for them, all their own.

assuming the world doesn't end. ]

[pullsheavendown]

It's okay.

[It wasn't, but it is now, and it will be.]

Xion, do you—did any time pass for you when you were gone? Outside of this world?

[Does she know, that their fight on the clock tower wasn't the end? That there's a future for all of them?]

[marxionette]

It did.

[ She should maybe pull back to look at him, but that would involve letting go. ]

You brought me back to myself... and you remembered. You and Axel both.

[pullsheavendown]

We did.

[He breathes such a sigh of relief, and after a moment, he does pull back, if only so she can see how happy he is.]

I went back too, Xion. Not too long ago. And I remember more than that. [The end, and the beginning.] We all make it through. We're all going to be okay.

[marxionette]

[ thank goodness.

his smile is absolutely radiant. she can feel the warmth in her heart, a lightness that she'd forgotten how to feel. or maybe had never felt, at least not this strongly. ]

I knew we would. As long as we're together...

[pullsheavendown]

I didn't. Not back there.

[It was harder to believe in the world they came from. Because he'd already lost everything—more than he even realized.]

But now we've got a future outside of just this world. It feels strange to think about it.
