The whole time... I'd been running from the darkness. The Organization, the Replica, even Ansem - they were all right when they said I was just running away. Sure, Naminé's plan might have worked, and it would've been nice not to have to worry anymore... But in the end, wasn't it - wasn't it still just running away?

If there's one thing I'd learned, it was that fearing the darkness is just another way of letting it control you. I was done running.
