Dear Sora,

I honestly do not know when, or if, you will ever get this… but I at least want to try.

I want you to know… I'm not going to wait any longer. I just can't do it. I don't know if you know this, but my life here has become unbearable. I stopped going to school now, my parents hate me and everyone thinks I'm crazy. It's ridiculous. I can't stand this anymore. I just don't know where you are, Sora, but it has been far too long for me… I'm coming to find you. I know something is wrong… I can feel it. Two years with no word from anyone… What am I supposed to think Sora? I need you so much… you and Riku… I feel like I'm losing my mind here. I can't handle this anymore. I need help… I need a sign… I need to know you're still out there… Please… come back…

I'm not even sure if this will matter to you… but I think you deserve to know everything. I've wanted to tell you for so long… but I was never quite sure of myself… but now I know over the past few years… I've realized that… that day at Hollow Bastion changed me inside. I don't know what happened… but without you in my life… I feel like there is a huge piece of me missing… like a void. I have no idea if you feel the same way or not… but, Sora… I care about you so much… so much Sora… It hurts to be away from you for so long… Sora… I love you.

Kairi… I love you too…

SORA! Did you just… How did you do that? How are you writing on this paper…? What's going on?

Kairi, I've always been with you… but now I have the power to connect with you… Kairi… I love you too… I know I've always been so bashful before… but now… I'm not afraid. I love you too Kairi. I'm so sorry I've been away so long. Kairi I never meant to hurt you…

Sora, I can't believe this… you're letters just bleed through this paper like… magic… How can this be?

You've given me the strength to reach out to you… I tried so hard for so long… I just needed something… some ounce of hope to know you felt the same way for me… Yes Kairi… we are connected… That day at Hollow Bastion was real… and it did change us… it changed us forever Kairi…

Sora… Where are you? Tell me you're coming home… Please come back to me… I need you so much closer… I can't take this any longer Sora…

Kairi, I'll be back soon. I Promise you. Just hang on tight for a little bit longer.

SORA! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TOO LONG. TWO YEARS WITHOUT ANYTHING. NOTHING… Sora… you don't get it… I need out NOW. You don't know Sora, it's been so hard here… at least you've been doing things to keep your mind off of all of this… I've been stuck here on this little island… with nothing, no answers, no friends, no one to believe me… NOTHING. You CAN'T MAKE ME STAY HERE ANY LONGER SORA… Sora, I'm going crazy…. I didn't ever want you to know this, but… Sora, I'm tearing myself apart… I can't take it… I cut myself all the time… it hurts so much Sora…. I need to get away, I need help… I need you.

Kairi… I… I'm so sorry… I never meant for this to happen… I never wanted to be away this long… it's a long story… but I would rather tell it to you in person… I am sorry I left you alone… but you don't have to worry for much longer… Riku is coming. He is going to bring you something important… Something to help you get out of there… So YOU can come. He should be arriving shortly, within the next few hours. Kairi… I'm so sorry…

Sora, I want you home too though…

I know Kairi… I'm coming. I'm coming back…

No Sora, You're coming home

Thinking of you, wherever you are

We pray for our sorrows to end

And hope that our hearts will blend

Now I will step forward to realize this wish

And who knows: Starting a new journey may not be so hard

Or maybe it's already begun

There are many worlds, but they share the same sky---

One sky, one Destiny.
