Unexpected gifts—flashing code on a screen, a splintered heart, and shattered chains of memory. Xion saw her agony in what Riku had saved.
And my hope? She wondered.
Behind her, conversation.
"I can't save them! I haven't got the time or resources!"
"I'll help, Even. We'll save Sora and the replicas. They're—"
"My failures, Riku."
Silence.
"Do you believe that?" Xion asked, turned. In Riku's eyes; sorrow, longing. In Even's eyes; shame, regret.
Neither spoke.
"We'll do it," she said. "We'll save them all."
She turned back to the screen and saw two smiles reflected.
I'll bring them hope.
