[Video] The Wheel Keeps on Turning.

[ This time the announcement about Riku's departure is intentional. Sora's up on the island sitting on the beach. The sun is setting. He's had plenty of time since this morning to think about it, and he's actually able to smile a little at the camera. ]

Hey everyone, I just wanted you guys to know Riku went home again.

[ He forces the smile to stay on his face, acting as if everything's okay. He's sort of getting used to this by now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt. ]

Kairi, if you didn't know yet, I'm sorry.

[ He actually seems a little sadder at that. He ends the transmission there without another word. Really there's nothing else to say. ]

Hey, Terra.

[ Sora's still keeping the smile on his face, though it's really not easy. ]

It's okay. It's the third time it's happened, so you get used to it.

[ That was a lie. You never really get used to it, well to the fact that it happens maybe. ]

[Given what Terra had felt himself every time he was involuntarily separated from his friends, he guesses that Sora might just be putting on a brave face for this video. He wishes he remembered Sora from his time in the bubble from before so Sora didn't feel he had to keep smiling for his benefit, but there was only one way to fix that.

[He nods, accepting Sora at his word for the moment]

I've been meaning to talk to you again anyway. Can I meet up with you?

Sure Terra.

[ What did he want to talk about? The company actually wouldn't be too bad, at least it would get his mind off of things. ]

Do you know where the island is? I'm ---

[ He let Terra know where on the beach he was. ]

I'm on my way.

[It doesn't take Terra long to locate Sora. Honestly, while he did have things he wanted to talk to Sora about, it was merely an excuse to check on the boy. Sora seemed like the type of person to whom, even if he was used to something like this, it couldn't have been easy to see his friend leave. Especially three times. Especially if you didn't know when they would be coming back again.

Terra had been told a few things when he first arrived that he didn't understand, and a lot of it seemed to center around Sora. He'd also spent the previous week in a coma (something he hadn't mentioned to anyone yet), so Terra needed a little bit of distraction from his own thoughts as well.

He speaks as he approaches]

I thought this world was all underwater. This is a nice surprise.

[ Sora smiled as Terra approached. There was still a layer of sadness to it and in his eyes, but it was mostly genuine. ]

Yup. We were living up here for a bit when the bubble flooded.

It's not quite like home, but it's close. There's even paopu fruit growing back there.

[ Sora pointed back into the forest where he and Roxas had found a tree. ]

[Terra paused to look back to where Sora pointed. If this place really had paopu fruit, then it must be special in some way other than an inescapable world that was keeping him from the struggle he'd so abruptly left behind.

He sits down next to Sora]

I though those only grew in one world.

[ Sora shrugged. Maybe they were here because so many people from his own world had been here, coming and going. Who knew really. ]

Maybe it's just part of the magic of this place. There's a little bit of all the worlds here.
