... He's gone.

I just watched him leave.

U-um... ma'am?

Yes?

[pauses, goes over and hugs her.]

You sound sad.

I guess I am .. But it's all right.

You okay?

[closes his eyes, nuzzles.]

Everything will definitely be all right!

Yes.

One of the older Soras has just left, that's all.

[summons a perfect red rose out of nowhere and presents it to Aerith, a comforting and charming smile on his face as shoujo sparkles and bubbles appear around his head] My lady, forgive my intrusion, but I cannot stand to see tears on such a lovely woman. For you, only a mantle of happiness and beauty is fitting. If I could somehow return the smile to your face, only say the word and I would do anything you asked of me.

Oh, um .. Thank you.

Where did you get this?

Who's gone, beautiful?

Sora is.

.. how do you know?

We spoke briefly before he left.

I believe you knew him? He did mention you specifically.

.. sorry to hear it, then.

Could be. There are more than a few of me running around here, so it could be some other Axel. Not sure, though.

No, I'm pretty sure it was you. You teased him about strip poker?

[.. eyes go wide.]

You're kidding. What the hell, he left? [runs a hand through his hair] .. damn.

I take it you remember, then.

"Left" is a euphemism in this case.

It blossomed from my heart the moment I set eyes on you, my fair lady.

Of course I do.

.. a euphemism for what, exactly?

I think I understand how one might be able to leave this place.

You have to be ready to return to the planet.

.. [he places both hands on her shoulders - not gripping hard, though - and fixes her with a look.]

What does that even mean?

You don't know how the circle of life works? When something dies, its life force returns to the planet, where it stays until it's reborn as something else.

What're you talking about? I'm right here, baby.

He's lucky.

I'm really not in the mood, Axel.

I suppose you could call it lucky.

Pshh. Your loss.

.. maybe one day we'll get lucky too.

Death doesn't happen by chance; it is inevitable.

Still, I would like to tell you to be careful, Roxas. This whole thing has reminded me how easy it is to lose everything you have.
