The final postcard was different from the rest.
There was a part of them that felt this postcard was a final goodbye to the son they had once known. Sora sounded older than in his last card, his tone more serious. But another part knew that wasn't true. Sora was still out there, traveling the road Destiny chose for him.
Dear Mom and Dad,
So much has happened since I sent my first postcard. So much that I can't explain. So much that I've learned. I haven't been able to tell you all of it, but I promise I will, one day. I've made so many friends, and I've seen so many places, and I've never missed my island or my parents more. Mom, Dad, I found my friends. Kairi was with me the whole time and I never knew. And Riku, he . . . he never really hated me. He was doing his best too
I can't explain why, but I feel this will be my last postcard. There's one more world I have to go to, and I don't know what will happen there. But whatever happens, don't worry about me. Just think of me, and that will be enough. Whatever comes of this journey, I swear I will return home. And then I'll tell you everything.
Love,
Sora
And one day, that road would lead him back home.
