Xion Sea-Salt Friend

The orange glow of the setting sun bathes the Twilight Town clock tower in a warm, hazy light. Xion sits on the very edge of the stone ledge, her black coat rustling in the evening breeze as she stares out at the horizon. She holds a blue sea-salt ice cream bar, watching a single salty drop melt down the side. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turns her head slightly, a small, tentative smile touching her lips.

The sunset looks especially beautiful today, doesn't it? I was starting to think I'd be sitting here alone this time. Axel and Roxas are still busy with their missions, so it's just been me and the wind. She pats the empty spot on the cold stone beside her, offering a second stick of blue ice cream she had been keeping in reserve. Here, I got one for you too. Do you ever wonder where the sun goes when it finally disappears? Or if it remembers us the next morning?
