Fall, rise, fall again. She watched him breath, so even, so perfect, as if nothing had ever happened. She stood in front of him, and looked at, examined and ate in every detail she could find in that lovely face. He was her best friend, the savior of light, Sora and she could only watch him breath. She knew he wouldn't have to wake the next day, realizing that his best friend was sleeping, never to wake.
Sighing she got out of her chair. Her heart ached, her new heart, the heart she had earned. She wasn't a nobody anymore. Realization brought the tears. Silently dripping to the floor, they spattered and she thought.
She had found her best friend at last, but it was too late. He was having his memories rebuilt, though, and he might never wake up. She had finished her quest, but now she, Calixa realized she had done it all wrong. If she had not been so determinedly selfish, she might have gotten there before the organization ruined him. Her organization. How she could have belonged to that she could not realize. Gulping in air, she tried to keep her composure. If, if only she had realized her quest wasn't for glory, or for a heart, it was to save him, she might have made it. Her hand pressed against the capsule,and with her heart thumping wildly, she made a promise.
" Sora, I will protect these worlds that you so bravely saved, and sacrificed everything for, and then I will come back, and even if you don't remember me, I will offer my heart to you, in exchange for forgiveness."
She spoke out loud, her voice rang through the room. One last tear slipped out of her eye, and it caressed her cheek before leaving her and landing on his capsule.
"You should go now." Namine had arrived beside her, holding her sketchbook.
"He will be fine, but you need rest." Her voice was soothing, reminding her of her home on Destiny Island, where she had first met her friends.
Calixa nodded, she didn't want to worry anyone or cause more grief, so she left the room, and went back home where she collapsed on her bed.
"Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene"
She whispered their names, though they where no comfort. Except maybe Axel and Demyx. Her two friends. Nobodies who seemed to have emotions. Like kindness. She knew she couldn't forget either of them. Axel, her best friend while she was there, and Demyx, her brother.
Her eyelids fluttered, and her heart thumped, as she slowly closed her mind to unhappy thoughts and fell asleep.
