Slowly , yet timidly , Ventus pulled Shiva away from his shoulder , and wiped her years away with a gentle smile . "Shiva... I'm so sorry for this . So sorry for doing this to you , for creating such a horrid state of mind . It shoulder never have occured , and I'm such an idiot for letting it happen . What good is my education and empathy If I cause this in my dearest friend ? You ... You are so dear to me , Shiva , and I want to show you just how much I mean it . So...as a form of apology ... would you care for me to treat you to dinner by the sea? I know of a place that serve great seafood and allow Pokemon in their , all for a resonable price. You don't HAVE to accept , tbut I want to treat you like the true treasure you are tonight..."

Crying helped. It helped greatly, although the tears were bitter. But Ventus was there to catch them. In the end, he was there for support this time... He even had that familiar smile left for her.

Doesn't matter that - and why - he began to act strangely around her, he didn't mean to abandon her.

She was still somewhat hesitant. But, anything was better then parting ways now, plus the fact that she hasn't eaten a thing since breakfast. Too numb, too busy with gathering items out of the bottom of a ship, too busy with recreating bridges between her and the others.

"Don't call you an idiot... It happened, and it's aweful, but at least were can talk about it instead of plain abandoning each other... I gladly accept dinner, if this is what you wish for. I have...nothing else to do anyway... Not anymore. Therefor, thank you."

"But...what about Nathan? You think it's alright if we just go out and he's still here?" She knew that Nathan said he'll teleport to the Pokemon Center soon, but still...
