Terra (and anyone else who follows) finds that the door is shut and locked.
Sobbing can definitely be heard from the other side of the door, though.
Eventually, there's a pause in the sobbing though. It gets a lot quieter...
------------------------------------
...and that's because Nathan's making a phone call.
...it's all just a bit too much for Nathan. He has to get what he has to say off his chest.
...he's calling Ventus. He's expecting for it to go to voicemail, but regardless of whether it does, the message is the same.
"....Ven...? It's Nate...I...I know you don't really want to talk right now, but...I...I have to say something, and...I might not have another chance to say it, so...I...I'm sorry...it's just...hard to see someone you care about...*sniff*...I just..."
He pauses there, uncertain if he should say what he has on his mind.
He decides not to. He's not sure it will help, so he moves on.
"...well...anyways...*sniff*...I have to do this. Maybe you already know, but...the Ruins were where my dad was last seen. He was looking for the same things we are, too. I...I have to look for him and...*sniff*...reunite my family...and...*sniff*...finish what he started...and...this is my home. My family's home. The future home of those I promised to protect, to build a good future for. Maybe...maybe I'll tell you a bit more about that later, though...*sniff*..."
Another pause as Nathan tries to compose himself.
"...I'm sorry that I...can't say I can put my life above anyone else's right now...that...that's just not me, to be honest...you know me...heh...*sniff*...always caring about everyone else so much without thinking about how it may affect me...I can promise I'll try to come back safe, though...bring everyone back safe and sound, too...you are right that we can't save anyone if we're...that every life is precious...that everyone has so much more that they want to do in their lifetimes...*sniff*...how long ago did I say that to you again? How many times? I've lost count, to be honest...*sniff*...I guess that's one more for the tally, though..."
He pauses once more as he tries to recompose himself.
"...so...I just wanted to say again that...I'm sorry...for both what I can't promise now and...*sniff*...what happened before...thank you for the support anyways, though...*sniff*...it...it means the world to me, you know. And everyone else, I'm sure...well, maybe not Spira, but...*sniff*...you stay safe too, okay? I'd like you to be there to watch me battle Bo, the region's Champion...if I can get that far...yeah, I've got 6 badges now...I could go battle the Elite Four if I wanted...I plan to get the last two before I attempt that, but...soon. Okay? Let's all get through this, and...and..."
Another pause.
"...I'm sorry...I'm just...rambling on as usual again...I think I've said enough...I don't even know if any of this is going to help, and I'm just spouting word after word anyways...you're one of the brightest shining stars I've ever had the chance to know personally, Ven...I hope I can get to see that light again after this is all over...I don't want this to be goodbye...you'll always be a friend to me and Gallade..."
If Ventus picked up, maybe he has something to say in response, maybe not. If not and it went to voicemail...well, this is where the message ends. Nathan isn't expecting Ventus will want to call back...
*click*
...Ventus's words...some of which echoed Nathan's own...hit the 17 year old quite hard emotionally...

Terra (and whoever else followed) can once again hear sobbing through the door to his room soon afterwards.
