Aqua watches Rinoa and for a moment she feels like she's staring at Terra all over again. Was this what he felt? Like there was no one who would listen until the end? Or that he had to keep everyone away for one reason or another?

Most of all she remembers what it had felt like to hear him say he was on his own before he walked away. That was the last time she saw him before the end.

"One of my friends did that once, distanced himself from me and Ven, and all it did was push him further into the darkness. Your friends will want to be part of your life and they can help you with your power." Aqua takes a breath, feeling the dull ache in her that Terra and Ven's losses have left in her. "Believe me. Your friends won't let you go so easily. They'll still care about you and they'll always want to help you."
