Here we go away again "Aqua?" Ven asked, sounding and looking sad. "Are you really leaving?"
Aqua nodded, sad as well. She walked over and stroked his hair, leaving her hand on the back of her head. "It's time, Ven. I need to leave now. Before it is too hard to leave at all."
"Then don't leave at all, Aqua! Stay!"
"She can't," Terra said. "And you know it."
Aqua's free hand moved, so her arm could go around his shoulders. "I'll miss you both. And you'll both always be in my heart."
"No!" The younger one said. "I don't know it! Why can't you stay?"
"Because," Aqua said, gently. "You already have her. If I stay, we'll destroy each other. And there will still only be one of us."
"But..."
"No, Ven. Don't make this harder than it has to be," Terra said. He turned to Aqua. "No matter which you you are, your heart is connected to ours. That's never going to change." He rested a hand on her chest, over her heart. "May your heart be your guiding key, Master Aqua. And may it always lead you where you need to be."
Ven sniffed then nodded. "Terra's right. We're always with you, Aqua. Even if we wish we could actually go with you. But there's another us out there waiting for you, and I bet they miss you as much as we would." He took a deep breath. "May your heart be your guiding key. But.. if it ever wants to guide you back for a visit... that would be okay too."
She hugged them both, kissed the top of Ven's head. "Thank you, both. My heart is always with you. May your hearts be your guiding keys. Master Terra. Master Ven." She stepped back, summoned her Keyblade, and bowed with it crossed over her chest.
They summoned their Keyblades and returned the gesture
Aqua's eyes were filmed as she summoned her Keyblade and bowed to the vanishing image. She then dismissed it and stood, giving Lea a watery smile, a tear rolling. "I'm sorry, what were we saying?"
