[ Vixie isn't prepared for the steady tone. she had expected yelling. telling her that she is spouting nothing but lies. heated anger and perhaps needing to take a few steps back. but this... this she doesn't know if it is a good thing or not. ]

Terra. Whatever happened then might not be able to be undone. But that doesn't mean you failed anything. You still protect them both, in a way. Your choice in picking Riku as a successor is critical. Without him, without your sound decision, Ventus and Sora would be lost. Riku is also a Keyblade Master with a very special ability - the ability to wake up a sleeping heart.

I didn't want to tell you this to discourage you. Or to burden you needlessly. I thought that you should know this, even if Sora does not. You should know that where they are now wouldn't be possible without you. I wanted to tell you that so you could cling to it and know that while maybe the darkness may feel like it's suffocating, that you helped bring light to worlds that would have, otherwise, have been lost forever.
