+'Every new beginning is some other beginning's end.'
+At first, there was only darkness. It stretched out for an eternity,
+a sea of blackness that knew no end. But slowly, ever so slowly, a
+glimmer appeared. Then another. And another. Like stars shimmering in
+the night sky, they appeared, delivering light unto the darkness.
+“I told you she would save us,” Aerith said, smiling faintly as the
+blackness began to take shape under the light.
+“Perhaps,” Harle replied, the dragon god remaining in the form of
+the female harlequin. “But she did envelop everything in darkness
+before she did.”
+“We will rebuild. Just as we did before. And this time, without the
+Heartless.” The young blonde girl named Aya smiled at her twin
+sister, Maya. Yes, Kairi had given them a second chance for this
+world.
+“But of course, you do realize that nothing is ever completely gone,
+right?” Harle asked, raising an eyebrow. “Wherever zere is light,
+zere is also darkness.”Aerith smiled, nodding. “And where there is
+darkness, there will always be light. Perhaps they're inseperable.
+Like life, death, and rebirth. Now, the worlds can all be reborn.”
+“If you'll please hurry, that would be appreciated. I hate having to
+ferry the dead back to the land of the living,” Sophie says softly,
+angel wings seemingly holding her aloft in the darkness.
+“All good things take time, Sophie. But it won't be much longer
+now,” Aerith promises.And around them, the worlds slowly begin to
+take shape once more.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Dear diary,
+Everything seems fine here on the Destiny Islands. I'm sitting on
+the pier with my feet in the beautiful aquamarine water. It's so nice
+and warm. Quisty and Seifer are playing Triple Triad again behind me.
+I'm so tempted to scoop up some water and splash Quisty. It'd be fun!
+But I'm not sure if she'd think so. She concentrates too hard when
+playing games. Which is why I have so much fun trying to distract
+her! She's sitting behind me, so I'm resting my back against her as I
+write this. She's so cuddly.
+Anyway, no one really knows what happened at the Heart of the
+Universe. Everything went black and that's the last thing anyone
+remembers. After that, we all kinda woke up back home. The Destiny
+Islands are beautiful again. No weird holes, no scary, ominous skies.
+THe ocean's beautiful and warm again. It's like nothing ever
+happened. We looked for the door that led to the End of the World,
+but it was gone. It's almost like it was all just a dream.
+Elder Seymour stepped down from his place as the highest elder. I
+said we should nominate Quisty, but she said she was too young for
+the position. Wouldn't it be great if Quisty could be the elder of
+the Destiny Islands? She's all cute and serious! She'd be the perfect
+new leader for the islands. All of the children listen to her. Well,
+except for Seifer. But he just doesn't listen to her because he has
+fun riling her up.
+Tidus is back! He says he doesn't remember anything after Sin got
+him, though. Which is probably better. I wouldn't even want to
+remember Sin getting me if it was my choice! Poor guy. But you know
+Tidus. Nothing can keep him down. He's already back to playing that
+water soccer game thing he made up with Wakka.
+Yuna's doing better. She felt awful for the longest time, but we've
+all been trying to cheer her up. We're trying to let her know that
+none of us blame her for what happened. I probably would've done the
+same thing if something had happened to Quisty! I think that catgirl
+Yuna and I found, Rikku, has been helping Yuna a lot. Only she's not
+a cat anymore. How sad! She made such a cute kitty! But she's been
+there with Yuna the whole time. Yuna smiles a lot around her, so that
+makes me happy. Rikku asked Yuna to come travel the different worlds
+with her. Isn't that romantic? I wonder what Yuna will say.
+No one knows what happened to Kairi, Riku, and Sora. We haven't seen
+any of them since Kairi ran off to the Heart of the Universe. I hope
+they're okay. They have to be, right? They are. I know they are.
+They've made it through all sorts of things. A little thing like the
+collapse of the universe wouldn't stop them. They're out there,
+somewhere. And we'll all be here waiting for when they come
+back.Well, I better get back to distracting Quisty. Good luck out
+there, everybody. Booyaka!Selphie
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Leaning back against her blonde lover, Selphie gazed up at the
+clouds. They floated lazily above their islands, enjoying the
+beautiful weather. They were reassuring, almost like whispers that
+everything was finally all right. That feeling was reinforced by the
+sensation of Quistis's pink dress rustling against her back. Knowing
+the blonde was nearby always lifted Selphie's already high spirits.
+“It's so pretty... Quisty! Look! It looks just like a paopu fruit!”
+The brunette pointed up at the heavens, gazing at a cloud that
+resembled her favorite romantic fruit.Turning, Quistis adjusted her
+glasses. She smiled faintly, nodding. The vaguely star shaped cloud
+wouldn't have immediately made her think of a fruit from the island,
+but she found it cute the way Selphie's mind worked. The other girl
+was such a romantic. “It is, isn't it?” “And I believe you lose
+again, Miss Trepe,” Seifer interrupted, smirking. No matter how often
+Quistis told him to stop calling her that, he insisted upon it. She
+was the most mature person he knew on the Islands and he liked the
+way it ruffled her feathers. Quistis was probably his best friend.
+Where was the fun in that if he couldn't tease her now and again?
+Quistis turned quickly, blonde hair swishing over Selphie's head.
+“What?” Quistis frowned. “Seifer, let me see those cards. You're
+cheating, aren't you?” That was the third time he'd beaten her today.
+It was usually more give and take. Laughing, Seifer gathered up his
+cards. “I'm wounded, Miss Trepe. You know cheating isn't my style.
+But I do always cherish the chance to mop the floor with my favorite
+tutor.”He raised a blond eyebrow. “Another game, perhaps.”Sighing,
+Quistis nodded. “Of course.” This was their ritual, wasn't it?
+Playing this game for hours, winning by such slim margins. But always
+just so they could all play together. And of course, she had a
+constant disadvantage. “But it isn't fair with Selphie trying to
+distract me.” Selphie's fingers were currently in the bottom of her
+sandals, tickling the undersides of her feet.Seifer simply grinned.
+“That's why she's your girlfriend and not mine.”
+“But you're so much fun to distract!” Selphie squealed, turning to
+hug Quistis tightly from behind.Quistis sighed overdramatically as
+Selphie began kissing her cheeks, but Seifer could see her smiling.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Waves crashed inches away from a small brunette girl gazing out to
+sea. Her thoughts were muddled. She still felt guilty about the part
+she had played in the recent chaos. She had let her fear of life
+compell her into sending everything into the world of death. They had
+every reason to hate her for that. But they didn't. And the one girl
+she had betrayed the most had even followed her into that world of
+death. “And now she wants me to go with her,” Yuna whispered to
+herself.
+Should she go? Should she travel that infinitely vast universe by
+Rikku's side? It was exciting, but it was also terrifying. She had
+never been away from the Destiny Islands before. What might be out
+there? Boundless possibilities. Her stomach rolled in anxiety. Rikku
+would be leaving soon. What would she say? It would be a fresh start,
+a chance to see all the many worlds untold secrets. And by the side
+of the girl she loved no less, a girl who had sacrificed her life for
+her. It would be a chance to get away from her pain and fears, to try
+to discover the joys of living. Was it worth the risk?
+“Yunie?” Rikku broke into the brunette's thoughts. She wrung her
+hands as she stood in front of her. Would Yuna agree? Her heart was
+all over the place. She didn't want to leave without the beautiful
+brunette. What if she wanted to stay? What if she was too afraid to
+leave? Yuna looked up at her, her blue and green eyes almost flashing
+in the sunlight. “Please, Yunie, come with me. I don't want to go
+without you. I... I love you!” The blonde dropped down next to Yuna
+on the sand, gazing deeply into her eyes. “I finally found you, the
+treasure I've been looking for all my life. I want to show you
+everything. I want to see everything with you.” She clasps Yuna's
+hand tightly to her chest, pleading with her swirling emerald eyes.
+“All the beautiful things the worlds hold, we can see them all.
+Please, Yunie. I just want to be with you for it all.” Yuna smiled,
+blinking back tears as she gazed back at Rikku. Her hand cupped
+Rikku's cheek. “Rikku... Of course I'll go with you. I... I want that
+to. To see everything... with you.” Leaning forward, the brunette
+lightly kissed the blonde. It was strange now that Rikku wasn't a
+catgirl. She was used to the scratchy tongue against hers. But this,
+she admitted, was very, very nice as well. Rikku nearly pounced on
+the petite girl in her joy. Her arms wrapped tightly around Yuna as
+they fell back onto the sand, kissing. She kissed Yuna as deeply as
+she could, her heart aching for the girl in her arms. Each kiss was a
+tiny 'thank you' to the brunette. She was coming with! They would be
+together. All across the universe.
+The tears rolling down Yuna's cheeks felt wonderfully freeing. She
+was happy. She was going to be with Rikku. No matter what. From now
+on. Her heart soared. Her hands stroked up and down Rikku's back as
+they kissed. Though she was a bit embarrassed about the way Rikku was
+kissing her so deeply right out in the open, she wouldn't trade it
+for anything in the world. Let her embarrassment come. She could deal
+with it. She kissed back as best she could. 'Oh, Rikku...' she
+thought dreamily. Though still anxious about where this journey may
+lead, she knew her blonde ex-catgirl would be there to see it through
+with her. And that was all that mattered to her. “Yunie...” Rikku
+said between kisses, trying to calm herself down enough to finally
+pull away. But for once, Yuna's hands would let her go. Yuna held her
+close, kissing back again and again. Rikku giggled, kissing deeply
+again. “Yunie, they're here,” she got out at last. The sound of the
+gummi ship landing finally caught the brunette's attention. Yuna
+blushed cutely and slowly let go of Rikku's waist. The thief helped
+Yuna to her feet, watching the gummi ship come to a halt.
+As the doors slid open, a brunette ninja came into view. Yuffie
+gazed out onto the beach, her heart stopping for a moment. Her little
+sister smiled at her on the beach, vibrant and alive. Alive. Kairi
+had done it. She'd fixed things, after all. “Thank you, Kairi,”
+Yuffie whispered. Tears burned at her eyes, but she tried desperately
+to force them back. She was the greatest ninja ever, damnit. Ninja's
+don't cry. Seeing the indecision in Yuffie's eyes, Relm, brushed her
+knuckles over the ninja's cheek soothingly. “Go see her, Yuffie.
+She's missed you.”Yuffie didn't need anymore prodding. She ran out to
+meet her sister, gripping her tightly in a hug. “Rikku!” When Yuffie
+had seen Ansem cut her sister down, she had thought she'd never see
+Rikku again. Now, Rikku was in her arms and she was afraid of letting
+her go. What if she disappeared? What if it was just a dream? No...
+It was over. Her sister was back. She slowly stepped back, putting a
+goofy grin on to hide her tear stained eyes. “You aren't a cat
+anymore.” A stupid thing to say, but the best she could get
+out.Laughing, Rikku nodded. “Nope. Not anymore.” She smiled back at
+Yuffie. Her big sister had tried so hard for her. That was so sweet.
+It was so nice just knowing Yuffie cared. “It's good to see you, too,
+Yuffie.”Shaking her head, Yuffie can only smile. The pieces were all
+falling into place. They had done it. They'd saved the universe. And
+these small things, being with her sister again, it all made it
+worthwhile. 'Kairi, wherever you are, we did it. We won.' She was
+glad for her journey with the Keyblade Mistress. It had led her to
+the girl she loved. It helped her find her sister again. It had fixed
+their wounded worlds. She only hoped she could see the princess again
+someday. They were a team, Kairi, Relm, and herself. She felt that
+something was missing without the princess. “Yunie's coming with us!”
+Rikku said excitedly. Taking Yuna's hand, she pulled the brunette
+closer, smiling brightly. Yuna blushed faintly and nodded. Laughing,
+Yuffie nodded. “Is she joining the Radical Dreamers? Relm's coming
+with us, too. She's going to paint the backgrounds for out
+performances. People will be so dazzled that they'll practically be
+asking to give us their gil.” The ninja winked smugly. “Yunie could
+dance! That would be great! We could fit her into our performances!”
+Rikku hopped from foot to foot. Having seen Yuna dance, she knew
+plenty of other people would love to see her perform. And with their
+travelling troupe of actors/thieves, it would work perfectly.
+“They'll be enchanted!”“Wait!” Yuna blushed and shook her head.
+Performing? In front of people? She didn't know they'd be doing that.
+“It'll be great, Yunie!” Rikku assured her, squeezing the other
+girl's hand, already picturing Yuna dancing in front of packed
+crowds. “How cute!”Relm laughed, wrapping her arms around Yuffie's
+right arm. “Looks like we'll be able to put on some interesting
+performances.” She nuzzles the other girl's ear, whispering. “But my
+favorite performances are the onces you give when we're alone.” She
+delighted at the blush that crossed her sarcastic ninja's face.
+Giggling, she kissed the other girl's cheek. She now had something to
+focus her considerable painting skills on. And she got to travel with
+her beautiful ninja. Granted, it was so they could steal from all
+sorts of places, but she could live with that. It was pretty easy for
+her to accept that Yuffie was a thief. As long as she was her thief.
+“Are ya'll comin' or not?” Cid called out, irritated. “Buncha kids.
+We got places to go.”“We're coming, old man!” Yuffie yelled back. “I
+knew I should have taken the ship myself.” The ninja shrugged. “Well,
+we all ready?”“Yep!” Rikku smiled, turning to Yuna.
+Yuna nodded slowly, smiling. “Let's go.” The group of girls made
+their way to the gummi ship. Relm paused at the entrance. She thought
+she heard something. She turned, looking out at the beach. It felt
+familiar.“Relm? You okay?” Yuffie asked curiously. Relm looked deep
+in concentration. “What's takin' ya'll so long?” Cid called
+down.Yuffie slammed her hand into the wall near her, trying to get
+Cid's attention. “Hold on a minute!” She turned back to watch Relm.
+There it was again. Distant, but unmistakable. Relm stepped away from
+the entrance, glancing around rapidly. Where was it coming from? It
+had to be real, right? It couldn't just be her imagination. And
+again. A bark. And this time she saw its owner racing towards her.
+“Interceptor!” she cried out, elation running throughout her as the
+dog her father had left to protect her pounced into her waiting arms.
+He was alive! Her best friend was alive. She'd known him since he was
+a puppy. They'd always been together. And he was back again.
+Interceptor licked at her cheek as she giggled, holding him close.
+Their journey had been long and hard. But it had been worth it.
+Resting her hand on Relm's shoulder, Yuffie smiled. “Come on. Cid's
+getting cranky again. Let's get out of here.” Relm nodded, letting go
+of Interceptor. Her dog, loyal as ever, stayed near her, afraid she
+would be whisked away from him again. She followed Yuffie into the
+ship, taking the ninja's warm hand.
+Yuffie shook her head, but smiled faintly. “Fine, but he's not
+sleeping in our room.”Yuna hurried to the window with Rikku. Yelling
+and cheering arose from the island below. The brunette smiled as she
+saw all of her friends waving goodbye to her. Tidus and Wakka had
+written 'Goodbye, Yuna' in the sand. Lulu was casting magic in the
+air like fireworks. The others waved as she lifted away. “See, Yunie?
+They could never hate you,” Rikku said, hugging Yuna from behind.Yuna
+watched her friends through her tears, still smiling. “Yes, I guess
+you're right....” She placed her hand on the glass. She was happy to
+know they still cared about her.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+“Arise, Queen Garnet.”Garnet stood up, cheers erupting around her.
+Beatrix smiled at her, nodding. She gazed out at all the people. She
+was now their queen. It wasn't something she had been expecting. But
+her mother had insisted, stepping down from the position. All she
+knew was that she would try her best for the people of Alexandria.
+“Thank you. Everyone.” A flash of purple brought a smile to her lips.
+At least she wouldn't be alone. She turned her attention to Eiko. The
+younger girl smiled brightly at her, urging her on. The summoner girl
+had declined going back home, choosing instead to stay in Alexandria
+with Garnet. And Eiko's support bolstered Garnet. She could do it.
+Alexandria needed her. She stepped forward to accept the throne.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+They stood side by side on the rooftop bridge spanning the ice-laden
+cliffs above the town, watching the snow fall peacefully around.
+“It’s so beautiful,” Terra said softly, looking out with wonder.  “I
+don’t remember it ever being this beautiful here.”
+“It probably hasn’t,” the other Magitek Knight nodded.  “This is the
+first we’ve been without the Heartless.  Even the factions against
+the Empire have died down for now.  Personally, I’m glad for a little
+peace and quiet.  Might even have time to make a home here instead of
+wandering.”
+They fell silent for a moment, content with simply enjoying the
+natural splendor that presented itself.
+‘I’m so glad Kairi could set things to rights,’ the green-haired
+woman thought.  ‘Otherwise none of this…none of us would be here.
+Even Kefka’s doing well, serving the Emperor again.  And we…we can
+finally be free….’  She leaned closer to Celes and intertwined their
+fingers.  “Can you ever forgive me?”
+“There’s nothing to forgive,” the blonde smiled softly, reaching
+over and placing an arm around Terra’s waist.  “Nothing at all.”
+Terra smiled back gratefully and rested her head against Celes’
+shoulder, the snow dancing light-heartedly through the skies.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+“Kid! Did you catch dinner yet?” Leena asked, stepping out onto the
+docks of Arni. She spotted the pretty blonde struggling with a
+fishing line.“Dang blasted thing won't work! I'm a thief, not a
+fisherman,” Kid growled. Taking the line from Kid's hands, Leena
+reeled the fish in. Smiling, she kissed the other girl's cheek,
+handing the fish to her. “Go wash up. I'll start dinner.”Kid merely
+blinked in stunned silence. Was there anything the redhead couldn't
+do. “Err... Yes, dear.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+“It seems like almost everyone has returned except the princess,”
+Rinoa stated, sitting around the grand library of Hollow Bastion with
+Squall, Aerith, and the Turks. “And Cloud,” Squall added. Rinoa
+nudged him hard in the side. She'd intentionally not mentioned him so
+as not to worry Aerith. Aeirth smiled softly. “Cloud will come back
+to me. He always does. It's only a matter of time.” And time was
+something she had plenty of. She would wait as long as it took for
+him to find his way back to her. Just as Kairi had Sora and Riku, she
+had Cloud. And just as surely, she knew he would return to her.
+“But what do we do without the Princess?” Reno asked leaning against
+a bookshelf. “Should we just wait for her?” Elena nibbled on her
+lower lip. “That's assuming she is coming back,” Vincent pointed out.
+“But if she's not, what can we do?” Elena shot back.
+“We do what we can. We rebuild. We try to make Hollow Bastion as
+beautiful and as wonderful as we can make it. It's what Princess
+Hikari would have wanted.” Aerith stands up. “It's all we can do for
+her. But I know it will make her happy.” 'We'll protect your dreams,
+Kairi. Forever. It's the least we can do for your sacrifice. And if
+you can ever find a way back, I'll make sure Hollow Bastion is
+waiting for you.'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+“You're sure you haven't seen her? She looks a lot like me, but with
+shorter hair,” an auburn haired girl asked, standing beside a
+brunette boy around the same age. The two waited eagerly for the
+reply.The blonde girl shook her head slowly. “I'm sorry. I don't
+think I have.” Turning she looked over her shoulder. “Kumiko! Come
+here.”
+A girl with long, braided brunette hair came up to the small group.
+“Yes, Megumi-chan?”Megumi pointed back to the auburn haired girl.
+“Have you ever seen someone who looks like her? With shorter
+hair?”Shaking her head apologetically, Kumiko looked at the girl.
+“No, I haven't.”“That's okay. Thanks for your help,” the brunette boy
+smiled before walking off with the auburn haired girl. “So she isn't
+here, either.”
+“It's okay. I didn't think she would be,” the girl replied, brushing
+some hair from her eyes. “But she's out there. I can feel it. She's
+waiting for us.”“Then let's not keep her waiting.” The boy looked
+down at the girl, grinning. “It's so weird not that you're smaller
+than me, Riku.”“Don't start that, Sora. You know I can still send you
+away limping just like always,” Riku said, a smile splaying across
+her mouth. This body was Kairi's gift to Riku. With his body
+destroyed, his soul would have returned to the Lifestream, but she
+had left her body for him. It was taking a while to get used to it,
+though. He had let the hair grow out longer and wore a different
+style from Kairi, but the fact that it was female still threw him for
+a loop now and then.
+The two had travelled across so many worlds since the universe had
+been reborn. And they would continue travelling until they finally
+found Kairi. That was their mission, to find the girl they both
+loved. No matter where it took them. And they wouldn't stop until
+they were with her again.“The next world?” Sora asked, pulling up his
+Keyblade.Riku nodded. “Maybe we'll have better luck on this one.”
+'Just wait a little longer for us, Kairi. We're
+coming.'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+My wrists ache. I tug weakly at the bandages that cover my wrists.
+They remind me of the wristbands I wore as part of my outfit back on
+the Destiny Islands. But those weren't tinted red. Owwwww....“Hikari,
+don't play with those. You'll just make it worse,” mom says worriedly
+as she sets down a tray with some noodles.
+I stop plucking at them and look better at her. I still feel guilty
+about almost leaving her all alone. But she's been as sweet and
+supportive as ever. “Thanks, mom,” I whisper. She smiles back and I
+feel a little more at ease. She doesn't blame me, at least. That
+makes it a little easier.
+“If you need anything, I'll be in the other room, sweetie.” Mom
+waves as she exits the room.
+I slump back in my bed, stuffed characters falling in every
+direction. It try not to look, knowing Riku's doll is lying just at
+the corner of my eye. Damn. I can't help it. My eyes shoot to it and
+my heart plummets just like I knew it would. It's been a few weeks,
+but I still feel the pain of the night I had to say goodbye to them.
+I miss them so much. I finally found them and I was the one who had
+to leave. Hugging the Riku doll tightly, I gaze at the wet, rainy
+window. Are they happy? Did our sacrifices matter? I can only hope
+the other princesses got to remake everything. That the Destiny
+Islands are bright and beautiful again. As long as it was worth it,
+then I'm glad about what I did. I'd love to go back, but mom needs
+me. I didn't realize just how much until now. And now that I'm gone,
+the doorway is shut. The Heartless, the darkness of reality can't
+filter in. All that I love there is finally safe.
+They said they were surprised I made it. They did everything they
+could to revive me, but in the end, the doctors said it all depended
+on me. If I hadn't stopped Hikari... No, that's not right. I am
+Hikari. I remember everything that happened from both of our sides.
+If the light in my heart hadn't changed my mind, then I would have
+died. And all of those beautiful dreams would have died with me. And
+mom would have been all alone.
+Mom's been overprotective lately. I can understand why. And it's
+really sweet of her to be spending so much time with me. We've been
+playing games together every night. She said she's going to take me
+to a videogame/anime convention in a month or two, so I need to pick
+out what costume I want her to make for both of us. This is why I
+couldn't have stayed there and closed the door. Because I love her
+too much. I could never entirely give up on this world. I wonder what
+Aya and Aerith gave up in this world when they went to the other
+one?But still... I miss them so much. Turning my head, I gaze at the
+picture I drew, framed by my bedstand now. There's the me from the
+Destiny Islands kneeling with Riku sitting on my left and Sora
+resting against me on the right. Yuffie and Relm are standing behind
+us. My friends. The boys I love. And now all I can do are draw
+pictures of them, or dream about being together again. My heart aches
+everyday. I love them. I know that. I will always love them. I hold
+the tiny trinket, all I still have from that world. A tiny key on a
+chain that I wear around my neck.
+That world is safe now. I'm happy for my part in that. Sacrifices
+had to be made, but I understand that. Now I am back in the darkness
+of the world I sought so hard to escape. But... Even in darkness,
+there will always be light. I have my mother. And one day... One
+day... I'll have you both again... I'll be waiting for you. I love
+you. Always.
+Author's notes: Well, this is the end of Prism Hearts for now. ^-^
+Kairi has completed her journey. She has shut the door between the
+real world and the other world. The Heartless can't reach it anymore.
+Riku and Sora will continue searching for her, no matter how long it
+takes them. I'm happy with how it all turned out. ^-^ It took me a
+year to write, and it went in all sorts of directions I hadn't
+expected, but I'm happy with it. ^-^ There were times when I was
+worried it wouldn't get finished, so it's with a bittersweet heart
+that I put the finishing touches on my baby. It's so beautiful
+watching stories grow up, letting them grow on their own, but trying
+to help them here and there. ^-^ I'm sad to see it end, but I'm glad
+that it all worked out. Maybe someday I'll return to Prism Hearts. ^-
+^ After all, Kairi's own daughter has a story to tell. Her own
+journey to travel, sacrifices to make, and loves to find. I'd like to
+thank my wonderful Lainebear for her help with the FF6 scene in this
+story as well as for letting me force her to read all of the chapters
+when I'd finish them. ^-^ And Chi for being eager enough to want to
+see me finish this series. ^-^ And Jason, as always, for letting me
+bounce ideas off of him. ^-^ And to all of you who accompanied Kairi
+on her journey. ^-^ Thanks to all of you, from both of us. And always
+remember, 'Even in Darkness, there will always be Light.'
