Wakka
He's…he's gone? That's it? Man, I was thinkin' there'd be some kind of explosion or somethin'. Oh, brudda…I don't wanna say you're gone! Maybe if I just keep on thinkin' you'll be around the corner, waiting to laugh at us goofballs, maybe it won't hurt as much. Yeah, right. What are you thinkin', Wakka? My brudda's not comin' home, ya? Neither of 'em! Brothers forever, but forever apart. I don't got nobody now. 'Cept Yuna and Rikku. And Lu.
Oh, if only you could see inside me, Lu! If only I wasn't so scared! I'd tell you everything, and I know you'd know what to do. I know it. But the closest I can come to you is like this, acting like we're just the best friends we always were. But it's enough, ya? At least when you're cryin' you can let me hug you.
Um…You're not letting go. Come on, Lu, everyone's going in, ya? We'll look silly standin' here like this. Rikku's grinning that smile of hers; she's watching from the window. Come on! It makes it seem like we're going to…Oh, good. No. Not good. What's gotten into you, Lu? You're acting like Yuna! Not that Yuna's bad…

"What?"
"I l-love you, Wakka."
Wow, I've never seen her smile like that before. Makes her look pretty, even with a runny nose, ya?
"Aren't you going to say something?" she laughs. "You act as though I'd just hit you over the head!" That laugh! Why doesn't she laugh more often?
"Well, you kinda…" Hey, you're laughin' at me! You already know what I'm gonna say! "Lu!" That laugh again. I hope you laugh every day. I promise I'll try to make you. Try my hardest, and this time, I won't lose.
Oh, here comes Rikku. Forgot she was lookin'. Looks like she can't decide whether to laugh or cry. "You're…you're…You just kissed him!"
"You'd better believe it, cecdan!" Has this finally happened? Am I really tousling Rikku's hair while Lulu beams up at me with her beautiful eyes? That same look's in 'em, just the way she used to look at Chappu! Is…this…really…happening?
