Author's Note- I spent the past couple of days rewatching KH2 cutscenes. Axel's death still leaves me... unsatisfied. Blahh. Enjoy this. It's shortish.

Dear Riku,

The Heartless are either getting stronger, or we're getting weaker. It seems harder to kill them now than it used to. Kairi and I, we've both had some close calls lately.

We stopped taking shifts and fighting alone when we realized that it was getting too dangerous, and we were getting too careless. It wouldn't matter if we were both out there all the time, the Heartless are claiming more and more people everyday.

When I was away, I met a man named Cloud, he carried this huge sword, and it was all nicked and scratched from all the use it had gotten. The Keyblades... that never happened to them, they stayed gleaming and shining and new no matter how much I fought with them.

They're starting to show their use now, and I'm worried that one of them will break soon, while we're fighting, and leave the person using it defenseless.

And with the way that the Heartless seem to be getting stonger, I think that it could be any day now that happens.

The Keyblades seem to be getting weaker, and that scares me, because they've always represented something strong, and good to me. But now, they're weaker than they used to be, and sometimes if I squint, I can almost see tendrils of Darkness curving around the blades. That scares me too, even though it's probably just a combination of lack of sleep and an almost constant kind of fear for those close to me that's making me see things.

That feeling like someone was watching me, now I know that it was the Heartless. Or, I hope it was, otherwise I have something new to worry about. The feeling is still there, like a reminder that the Heartless are still out there killing, and waiting to be killed. A reminder that me and Kairi are failing in protecting everyone despite how hard we're trying.

I need you, Riku.

Love,

Sora
