(... )Ven had no choice but Trade them away for Helel 'fore they went to the heavens for real - he was hurting real bad after that.(...)

(...)Thus Ventus lost his Third and last Love. (...)

I'm not teary-eyed, I'm not teary-eyed, I'm not teary-eyed, I'm not teary-eyed, I'm not teary-eyed, I'm not teary-eyed, I'm not teary-eyed!, I'm not teary-eyed!!, I'm not teary-eyed!!!, I'm not te- ... *sniffle* o(TヘTo) It breaks my wee little heart to see Ventus's three losses, THESE TWO losses especially.  Rest in much-deserved peace forever Raphael, the benelovent archangel you were did by far not deserve all the negativity and trauma you had to endure under Ven's erratic care, as well-meaning as he was or might have been. Neither did Shiva, so I do understand her choice made to undo it all, even if it meant...well, being seperated from Ven forever. I'd guess not even her heart made of near-gold and not even her love/feelings for him (despite everything that happened so far? Girl, how blind or dumb are you??) could fix him? I'd guess THAT'S what Ven meant when at some point he said something along the lines 'she will grow to hate him at some point? ...I don't know whether she really does or did. But I DO know that the very last thing she who had a a sheltered upbringing and has a bright future ahead deserves is long-lasting psychological damage and (no doubt severe!) PTSD from being unfortunately in love with a human monster (I'm sorry to say it that blatantly! Σ(°△°|||) ), so I GENUINELY APPRECIATE how she got basically 'saved' and how you despite everything found a good end for her, Windos! Very well done, very good loophole found and exploited!~

Do I think any less of Ventus now? Nah, not really. This is an AU. I like AUs! They're one timeline among many many many timelines, the butterfly effect is a f#cking scary thing to think about.
