Master... Ventus... Aqua... Tidus -- Everyone, I'm sorry!

[ the video is dark, most likely not working, and nothing can be seen but the audio can be heard. Terra's voice cracks as he speaks, he sounds completely exhausted and like he might be a bit delirious. he makes a choked sob as he's fumbling for something ]

The electricity is out and everyone is gone.

I should've... I should've done something. I should've been there. I...

I failed - everyone.

[ his voice cracks again ]

Why did this have to happen...?

[Tidus' body is weary, but he keeps pacing in a struggle to stay awake. The camera sways, and he begins to speak.]

We need to find a way to stop this mist. We're all tired, and it's getting harder to not believe the things we see are true, but--

[He comes to a stop, nearly dropping his communicator. From out of the mist walks a young woman. He wants to approach her, to hold her, but he can't move. He manages to speak.]

Is it...you this time?

[She starts to approach him, smiling softly. Tidus tries to take her outreached hand--

And goes right through it.]

What? No--

[The summoner seems just as horrified as Tidus does, as his hands start to become blurrier, blue lights occasionally seeping through them and causing them to seemingly ripple like water. He drops his communicator, and collapses, devastated.]

[Allen felt exhausted, but he knew that if he slept, his dreams would be haunted by that man, that one person with whom he feared most. Putting a hand to his face, he was trying to work through the foggy Port Royal, but with very little success. Him being tired and lacking the sleep of the past few nights were starting to take their toll. Rubbing his eyes slightly, he tried to wipe away what sleep there could be. Now wasn't the time for sleep. Now was the time to stay awake and focus of the work at hand.

But no matter how he tried, it just wasn't helping. Walking to the middle of the town, he removed his hand and glanced around. He was considering getting off work early and going home.]

Lenalee... Kanda... I think I'll be heading home early. I can't seem to focus at all.

[With a yawn, he stretched his arms out. Maybe he should try and sleep, but at mid yawn he froze. There was someone standing right in front of him. A man Allen recognizes all too well. With the look of surprise, he just stood there with a smile.]

Hello, Allen.
