Sheena stared at the wall, lost in thought, remembering her friends from before. Lloyd had grown into a strong, capable man, and a wonderful crafter. He had married Colette, and the two were now on their way around the new combined world. Kratos, ever the enigma, had disappeared off the map long ago. Raine had become one of the finest researchers the world had ever seen, and Genis assisted her when he could spare time from Presea and his job as a professor. The duo had already uncovered things that had managed to elude Tethe'alla's researchers for decades. Regal had gone back to work at the company he had headed before, and it was as successful as it had ever been. Zelos had become a performer. It turned out that he had vocal potential and a knack for writing songs. And Sheena? She had gone back to Mizuho, where life had gone on exactly as she had expected it to.

"Sheena?" A member of the Mizuho intelligence network, as diligent as ever, poked his head into her room. "There's a tape here you might want to see."

"What is it?" she asked.

"We think it may have something to do with you. It's a part of the Ex-Chosen's concert."

"Zelos?" Sheena said. "What would that have to do with me?"

"You'll see..." He replied.

"Alright," she said, getting up. She followed him into a room, where there was a monitoring screen. Onscreen, Zelos stood on a stage, bowing. The screen was frozen. He hadn't changed at all in five years.

The young man pressed something, and the screen began to play. Zelos stood up, and the applause faded. He looked right at the screen.

"This song," he said, "is for someone I know... well, knew. Messenger of Death, Messenger of Light, screaming Banshee."

Sheena froze, shocked.

"And Sheena," Zelos said, "Will be the screaming Banshee."

"See?"

Zelos laughed. "Doesn't Banshee fit her?"

"There's the Banshee, living up to her nickname once again!" Zelos said.

"Yes, that's right," said Zelos. "My old friend from the Journey. Well, if she's listening right now, I'm... sorry. There's a lot I didn't say when we saw each other last. I thought of her when I wrote this song, and I'm thinking of her now, when I sing it."

The music started behind him, and the lights went low. He didn't do any flashy dancing, just stood and stared right out at of the screen. Right at her.

"This one will never sell
they'll never understand.
I don't even sing it well,
I try but I just can't.

But I sing it every night,
and I fight to keep it in,
'cause this one's for you.
This one's for you."

He looked away from the camera and the audience, his voice still amplified my the microphone he was wearing.

"I've done a hundred songs,
from fantasies to lies.
But this one's so real for me,
that I'm the one who cries.
And I sing it every night,
and I fight to hide the tears,
'cause this one's for you.
This one's for you."

He turned back. There were tears in his eyes. The first time she had ever seen Zelos Wilder cry. Was it real? Or just a stage illusion?

"This one's for you,
wherever you are.
To say that nothing's been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew.
Like every thing else I have
this one's for you, oh."

It couldn't be just an illusion. She could see it in his eyes, that expression he always wore when he was sincere. He really missed her?

He looked around the stage, smiling sadly.

"I've got it all it seems,
For all it means to me.
But I sing of thing I miss
and things that use to be.
And I wonder every night
if you might just miss me too.

And I sing for you.
I sing for you."

I do miss you. Every day, every moment when I'm left to myself. What has happened? I went to visit everyone else, but I never saw you again when we parted, smiling, calling goodbyes.

The words boomed in Sheena's head, and she almost said them. But it was a screen, just a tape. It had already happened, Zelos couldn't hear her. And still he sang, Still seeming to search the crowd, the camera. Was he looking for her?

"This one's for you,
where ever I go.
To say the things I should have said,
things that you should know.
This one's to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing
'cause this one's for you.

This one's for you,
wherever you are.
To say that nothing's been the same
since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew.
Like every thing else I have
this one's for you, oh."

The music faded. Zelos seemed to come out of a reverie. "If you're out there," he said. "Come back. Please. I miss you. I'm sorry... Sheena."

The tape ended. Sheena wiped tears out of her eyes.
