[ The stream opens up with Naminé holding a Ducklett and a Torchic in her lap. It takes her a while to speak, and when she does, it's slow, pained. ]

When people leave... do a lot of them leave at the same time?

[ You're the best, sis. ]

... Mm. He is. And... I never got the chance to tell him.

[paopuprincess]

[She tries her best.]

I think he knew, somewhere in his heart.

[She gives her hand a gentle squeeze.]

[shatterings]

... I think you might be right. But if he ever comes back... I'll tell him, the first opportunity I can.

[paopuprincess]

That's the spirit. [She ribs her sister gently, trying to get her out of this funk.]

In the meantime, you can come have fun with the family you still have here.

[shatterings]

[ She lets out a little "ah!" of surprise, but it's enough to draw a laugh from her. It's quiet and small, but still, she's already feeling a little better. ]

I would like that. Maybe... we could go to the aquarium in Cerulean City some time...?

[paopuprincess]

[That laugh was all Kairi needed to breathe a sigh of relief. The last thing she wanted was her already reserved sister to draw up into herself out of sadness.]

Oh, hey, yeah. We never had a chance to go before, did we?

I'd love to see all the cool water pokemon there.

[shatterings]

[ It's something to look forward to, at least! ]

Do you think everyone would want to go?

[paopuprincess]

Of course! We don't get to go on enough adventures together anyway.

[shatterings]

I've... never thought about it as an adventure, but it does seem that way.

[paopuprincess]

Anything's an adventure with the right attitude. [She giggles.]

[shatterings]

[ A soft laugh from Naminé, too. ]

I'm starting to realize that.
