Thera this quote that goes "At the end of their lives, all men look back and think that their youth was arcadia."

I have to wonder how that statement holds up for us in light of the past few days.

I still like to think arcadia is where you make it. [ Which is 400 meters of spaceship waiting to be launched back in the Sea of Stars.]

[After the curse ended he was happy, thrilled to be back to his old self but he remembers everything that happened a week ago and his spirits plummet. By the evening, he's sitting with his journal. There's a bit of a clicking noise, fingernails on the pages as Roxas seems to mull things over. He isn't sure what to say.

After a minute he sighs.]

I miss my friends on the Spades.

[He winces a little bit. He's trying to be brave and make new friends but he misses his other friends too. He's never been in this kind of hard place before.]

Sorry Lea.

[He murmurs this finally, because it feels a little like betrayal.]

[In the magical book a child's handwriting appears.]

To those of you who are kidnapped, rest assure in numbers we'll like totally defeat the pirates and find our way home, man. Even if we're not like actually together we know that there are others of us out there like fighting the same battle but like in the meantime, even if we don't have our mommies and daddies we have each other, you know.

So, like all for one and one for all, man.

[Even if he's secretly concerned himself he feels he has to be the one to stand up and remind them this is not completely hopeless.]

She's GONE! SHE'S GONE! CODI'S GONE!

[Denzel sobs for a few moments, why is it that he just can't seem to keep people in his life?]

Why did she leave me?! HOW DARE SHE! She said she was my friend!

[There's the sound of him pounding on the table with his fists before silence. There is nothing he can do bue he see her disappear into thin air, quite literally and sighs in distress. There's only one thing he can do he suppose and turns to the book.]

If.. Anyone needs a - scientist aboard their ship.

Let me know.

It seems that whatever happened has ended, at least for me. I hope everyone else that was affected has recovered properly.

My memories of those past days are still a bit foggy, it's strange to try to fit them in place at the moment. I wonder if they will become clearer or if I will end barely remembering them like some events of my childhood at that age.

Anyway, I apologize if during those days I was rude or a bother to anyone, especially those who remained in their proper mind. It doesn't seem as if my younger self made much use of the journal and I can imagine why, but it never hurts to be safe. Please, regain whatever my younger self said with a grain of salt and bear in mind the age I was at the time.

[She's not sure how much damage control she can do in those circumstances. Or even if there's any damage control to be done, maybe it really doesn't matter to anyone at all, but just in case... This is the least she can do.]
