It was enough to very nearly break Aqua and she isn't too proud to admit that. The darkness had crowded in on her, finding the weaknesses in her heart. She was very lucky to have found the image of Terra and Ven in Enchanted Dominion, the imprints of their hearts finding her, keeping her going. Luckier still to have found King Mickey, who told her most of what she knows about what's been happening in the realm of light, and who gave her hope and the strength to keep going.
Her head bows just slightly, her hand subconsciously mirroring Rinoa's, as if by folding her fingers around the air she might feel the wayfinder in her hand again, the symbol of her friendships that she hasn't been able to find since she got here. "It was hard," she admits. "The darkness knows how to find the weak points in your heart. It gets to you after a while, makes you feel like there's no hope." But she was surviving. There was a lot to be said about strong friendships.
Speaking of friendships, Aqua's hand falls back to her side and she offers a small but encouraging smile. "It isn't the same as having him back, but as long as your hearts are connected, you'll never really be apart. You'll always be together and one day you'll really find a way back to each other."
She has to hope that one day she'll find the same is true of herself and Terra. She knows exactly where Ven is and how to find him. He needs to wake up one day, when his heart has found its way back, but Terra... Terra will be harder to track down and help. Aqua has to try anyway. No matter how hard it ends up being, she has to try. One day, she'll find her way back to Terra.
