Zanarkand, the city that never sleeps. He once promised her that he would take her there.
"Let's go the sea, before the sunrise. The city lights go out one by one. The stars fade… Then the horizon glows, almost like it's on fire." He raises his hands towards the darkened sky as Yuna walks by him. "It's kinda rose-colored, right? First in the sea, then it spreads to the sky, then to the whole city. It gets brighter and brighter, till everything glows."
Yuna looks up at him when he stops. There was an expression of sadness on his face.
"It's really…pretty." He turns towards her with a smile on his face. "I know you'd like it."
Yuna sighed, watching as the sun was setting. This was supposed to be a memory they would share. But he had left… before they could go together.
Even after two years, just thinking about him hurt. It was like an ache that wouldn't go away.
That's what I should have expected, I guess. After all, she had fallen in love with a dream. She had mourned for him for two years and had not allowed anyone else to take his place in her heart.
Yuna feared that by getting involved with someone else, his memory would be tainted and fade.
She looked up, taking a deep breath. "I don't regret anything about our time together…I never will." She smiled slightly, remembering all their time together. "I grew because of you."

"I love you and I will never forget you," she whispered, closing her eyes as a tear slid down her cheeks. "But I realize now that I have to move on with my life. We'll always be connected." Through the tears, she saw a faint figure in the distance smiling at her. She sniffled, wiping the tears away.
