4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.

     There's nothing Terra could ever say or do to make Ventus ever doubt his friend, that's what the boy holds in his heart. Things happened and changed, but there would always be things that remained the same.

     Still, it's hard to feel at ease when Terra avoids meeting his gaze. He's trying not to frown, but the concern is there in the slight furrow of his brow. It's not enough to disperse that smile, ever hopeful, ever optimistic.

     "...but you found your way back, didn't you?"

He knows Ven believes that. It's what makes the thought of telling him so unbearable: losing that faith he's never deserved. The whole story would break that trust. It would have to.

He meets Ven's eyes as best he can. His smile is kind of falling apart at the edges. "...Maybe."

     It isn't quite the look he's hoping for, but he can't possibly fathom what's happened to Terra that would make him react this way. Maybe he's better off not knowing...

     But then, does he really need to? It doesn't seem like his friend would want to talk about it anyway, and Ventus hardly wants to push him to it, especially if it seems to upset Terra.

     Shaking his head, Ventus pulls back a little so he can better look at the taller Keyblade wielder.

     "No maybes about it. You're here. It doesn't matter what happened, or how long it's taken. If something's wrong, we'll fix it. If we're apart, then we'll find each other again. That's how it's always been with us- with you, me, Aqua too."

"You're right," Terra says slowly. "You're right, Ven." For as long as they've been apart, they've still come back together. Not even - what happened - could keep them separated forever. Maybe that can be enough, at least for now.

His smile is much stronger now. "An unbreakable connection, right?"

Seeing Terra's smile even out, Ventus can easily find his own smile again to match. He nods.

"Exactly."
