"Hi, I'm Tidus!" a cheerful, sun-bleached teenager greeted them. He was dressed oddly and had a funny accent. Yet, he exuded an aura of vibrancy, of life, of hope.
I never regretted the day I saw you first at Besaid Temple, after I had shown all the village people my very first aeon, Valefor. I didn't know it then, but I did later and still do now.

"I've got the right!" he snapped, after hearing about how he shouldn't talk about his old man like that. "After all he did to Mom and me..."
You did have the right. And you knew before all of us, except for Auron. Yet, you didn't tell us, because you knew we believed in Sir Jecht. You wanted to keep our memory of him still alive.

"I promise I'll take you to Zanarkand," Tidus said, grinning. "You can see everything! You can see me play Blitzball, see all the lights and the stuff you can do! I promise I'll take you to my Zanarkand..."
You promised, but it never came true. It never could. Later, we both knew that it could never happen...

"I'm sorry Yuna! I'm sorry! I never knew about going to Zanarkand. I'm sorry! I didn't know anything about this Pilgrimage. Nothing! I'm sorry!"
But you didn't have to be sorry. It was nice to have someone who didn't know what I was about to do. You urged me on to Zanarkand, strengthening my resolve. I would have never made it this far without you.

"I guess I should say goodbye. You see, after this, I'm... I'm going to disappear. So let's fight! This may be selfish... but this is my story!"
And it was. I felt a part of me die when you said you were going to disappear. Vanish with the fayths around Spira, their dreaming finished. I always thought I would die, but ironically, you were the one to vanish to bring an end to Sin. Yet, even though it was your story, we were all apart of it. Me, Lulu, Wakka, Sir Auron, Rikku, and you. We were all apart of your story, and a part of ending it...

"Goodbye..." That's all you said. You held me in yours arms, then you vanished like a ghost. A fleeting dream of the fayth. I won't say I didn't cry. I did. I cried for both of us. I cried for the broken, faded dreams that Sin had caused for everyone. I lost you, in more ways than one...

I stood at the pier, whistling like you told me before. "Here, whistle like this, then I'll come running. Promise." But it didn't work. You were gone, and I remained. It was up to me to raise Spira up onto its feet from its millions of broken dreams and faded memories. But...
"Never forget them..."
