1,095 days. Maybe I should stop counting, but I can't stop. It's weird...it's like nothing's changed, but everything has. In the last three years, I've seen my best friends come and go, I've seen Sora come and go, and I've met someone who looks just like me and a psychopath who kept hurting my friends. But in the last three years, Axel's still as goofy as ever, Xion's learning just as much as I am, and the two of them have stuck with me even with all of my strange thoughts and patterns. I guess that's really what friendship is.

It took three or four tries, but I think I finally understand Sora. I'm still not sure what it all means to me, but I can at least say I feel better about things.

I guess...I've grown. We all have. But what happens after that? Do we all keep growing, or are we going to run out of places to grow? Maybe I'll have an answer to that next year.

...what's the longest amount of time any of you ever thought you'd be here? And were you guys disappointed when that amount of time passed? [Not if. When.] Not to scare the New Feathers or anything, but I know a lot of you out there have been here for a while.

Maybe I should say welcome to the new people anyway. I'm Roxas. I'm not sure how I can, but let me know if I can help somehow.

...oh,Axel and Xion? I know you guys are probably busy but I've got something for you. You know where to find me...and anyway I have something to ask you two. [On the roof, specifically.]

Sora you can come, too. And Ven. And...whoever. [He's got enough to share with everybody really.]

[[ooc: as a side note, currently at work and tags may be slow but I wanted to get this post up. Thanks guys!]]

[Smiling at his enthusiasm] I can understand how reading up to such a point would make it appear to be the end, but your welcome in any case. I'm glad I got the chance inform you of the later events.

Yes, what had occurred in 2011 with myself and my friends had to do with the Personas. What exactly would you like to know about it?

[Axel stares for a moment before chuckling a bit.]

Man, you really are getting old.

What's that supposed to mean?

I guess my real question is...how did it all start? Why were you the ones chosen to have Personas and fight with them?

It all actually began with a simple handshake. A Goddess by the name of Izanami took the form of a human and used the opportunity to discover man's desire and decided to grant it. By using physical contact, she awoke the persona ability within three people.

Those three people all contained one specific trait each that she thought may be beneficial to her plan; Despair, emptiness and hope. Seta Souji carried the trait of hope, Taro Namatame held despair and Tohru Adachi held emptiness. Though those people were the only three meant to contain the power of the persona, Izanami had not foreseen us obtaining it as well. In fact, she had expected us to die by the hands of our own shadows. So we were not granted that power automatically like them, we were forced to face ourselves before hand inside the TV.

So wait, you're telling me you had to fight that creepy thing that looked like you before you could actually use your Persona? What kind of a deal is that?

Well you see, a shadow and a persona are technically the same creature, the only difference is that a shadow is the untamed ego of it's master and a persona is basically that shadow, but tamed. It's only natural that you reject something you do not wish to see or hear and unfortunately, that's what gives a shadow power. That's why you must defeat it so you can accept the truth about yourself.

Don't worry. I won't forget. But thank you--it was very kind of you to offer.

...whoa really? I didn't know that about them. So to defeat a shadow, you have to wear it down and accept it as truth?

Yeah, sure. Just...trying to help out.

Are you sure? You can always tell me if there's something wrong...

I'm glad you were. You're a very nice person, Roxas.

... Um. [an awkward shift.]

I guess I'm just glad that we're friends now, really.

Wait a sec. It's your birthday?

[Someone must've missed the memo.]

It's not a big deal, don't worry about it.

I don't know about very nice...but thanks.

Well...it was bound to happen eventually. I'm sort of you. It'd be like hating part of yourself.

[...Roxas shut up.] I mean I'm glad we're friends now too, but you know what I mean. It's still...[He just makes a vague gesture.]

Sorta. This is the day I got to Luceti. I...don't actually know when my birthday is. I just count this instead.

Because that's what it is. No matter how much you may dislike it, it is and will always be the truth. [It's not a fun ride]

So how long did it take you to fight yours off and defeat it?

Okay, if you're really sure.

I am. You can trust me on that. Thanks though.

[... thinkthinkthink.]

Hey, it's almost fall and the leaves are going to start changing colors soon. We should do something to celebrate it, like a festival or something.

Oh, of course you're very nice. You're a good friend, Roxas.

If you mean how long I fought the truth about myself then around six years.

Though the actual fighting I never did.
