[ When Xion arrived back home from a grueling month-long mission, the first thing she did was not check her journal. She headed home. Home, where Luke is. He'd been there, which was wonderful.

He'd also filled her in on all that she'd missed, which wasn't so wonderful. ]

It's scary, sometimes... how much things change. I missed so much while I was gone. I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm home now.

Sometimes, I feel like I've been here such a long time... maybe because it has been a long time. It'll be three years in November... won't it? I don't remember anymore when I got here... I'm pretty sure it was November. It feels like so long ago. Like lifetimes have passed since then. I've grown up so much in this place... and so many people have come and gone. [ Kairi.

A beat. ]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be rambling like this.

We're starting to get some New Feathers in, right? My name is Xion. I work at the clinic, I'm part of the S.O.S Brigade, and I'm head of the Kyoshi warriors. If you ever need help, you can come talk to me. I'll do anything I can.

Um... I guess I have one last thing I want to talk about. I've got a lot of points now from going on missions... what do you guys do with your points? Or what would you do, if you had them? I sort of know what I want, but I guess I'm looking for other ideas, too.

Thanks, everyone.

I proposed it back at that town meeting. Some people said they would do it... but I sort of doubt anyone's actually done it.

[fourteen]

I think I can understand. You sort of want to spend it on yourself. I'm still thinking about saving up for one of the other special rewards, just in case... [ A thoughtful noise. She's not sure what to go for. ]

[godbent]

Yeah, well, I did too. [A beat] But that doesn't mean people shouldn't make some community efforts for important things. I mean your Kyoshi Warriors use that barracks, right? And thinking objectively... if Leon ever goes home the only way those teleporters are going to be sustainable is a Shift on them.

[But he voice gets weaker as she says that.

She doesn't want Leon to vanish]

... do you want to work with me, Haruhi? I've got a lot of points! I bet we could do at least one building if we worked together.

[godbent]

I've only got twenty right now... but it seems like we'll need eighty. I vote we pick the Rec Center.

[So that's a yes]

[fourteen]

I've got sixty! That means we can do it as soon as we want.

[godbent]

Okay, want to do it now?

[Or are you spending those personally?]
