[ Since her "return," Xion has been staying in temporary New Feather accommodations as she gets her bearings. She's had a lot on her mind... a lot of thoughts and fears. She goes to sleep the night of the 19th thinking everything will be the same tomorrow... and the next day, and the day after that. Whatever she was before... this is her life now.
Of course, that's not the case when she wakes up. Which she does with a yelp when she discovers her clothing is too small and pulls in all the wrong places. And her hair is longer, and-- and-- ]
Oh, no. Oh, my gosh--
[ That's all her journal, conveniently open as ever, catches before she slams it shut and races off toward home. Toward Luke.
Once she's met up with him and apologized until she was blue in the face and possibly cried a little, she takes off to Seventh Heaven. There is a certain chef she needs to see and hug and hug and hug until they both feel better.
Finally, once all that is done, she takes to the journals once more. ]
... I can't believe what just happened to me. I know I'm not the first one, but... it was so strange. Being young all over again... not having any memories of this place. They're such precious memories to me... and I think I realized something. I know how a lot of people here feel about Luceti, and the Malnosso, and the war...
But I'm grateful for this place. [ Gently. ] It's given me everything I could never have.... everything important and wonderful to me is here. Well... almost everything. [ Oh, Axel. ] But... I never want to leave. I never, ever want to go home. Not when everything important is here...
I'm glad. I'm glad I'm still here. I'm -- I'm sorry if that makes anyone angry to hear. I know it probably sounds really strange... [ She smiles, warm and sad at once. ] But this is my world now.
[ She ends the broadcast there... or seems to. In fact, she's got a number of messages to get out. ]

Hey, Suki... I don't think you remember me, but my name is Xion. I need to talk to you... about the Kyoshi warriors.
( Luke Skywalker | 100% )
... hi, Luke. I remember everything now. Thank you for being so kind to me. I could... probably clear some things up now, if you still wanted to know.
( Wreck-It Ralph | 100% )
I'd -- really like to talk to you. I think... I have something really important that I should tell you.

[Voice]
Then this place can be home for both of us. It's nice that way, isn't it?
[Voice]
But even then, I think Luceti is the closest thing I've ever had to a real home.
[A home, and a family. Something he wouldn't give up so easily, even if going home was a viable option for someone like him.]
[Voice]
Going back... that wouldn't be going home anymore. Not to me. It'd be leaving home. I love what I have here too much to ever want that to happen...
[Voice]
[Well, now he's just rambling a little, isn't he?]
You know, it's really nice to talk to someone who feels the same. Usually I always second guess myself when I bring it up, knowing how many people would still choose to go home given the chance. Not that there's any fault in that, but...
[Would Luceti still be home if everyone he cared about left? That's about the only question he doesn't have an answer to. But even if Ion had the chance to go home, to really go home, he still thinks he would choose Luceti.]
[Voice]
[ She understands this intimately. It was the ultimate difference between Riku and Luke - and what decided matters between which of the two boys won her heart forever. ]
