[ his expression is just killing her. something, she's not even sure what, seizes her to tell this story. ]
... we were standing on one of the bridges on a cool, clear night, talking. The moon was so bright, and you could see so many stars... it was beautiful.
But looking at those stars made me think of home. And I... I asked him if he ever missed it. Being able to travel to all those other worlds, and see so many different things.
[ that's Riku's first clue. ]
I remember... I remember so clearly, all he did was look at me for a moment, and I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. I remember wondering if I'd upset him.
But... but all he did was say, "Actually, there's something I've been meaning to ask you." [ she smiles, a weak, watery thing ] Then he got down on one knee, and pulled a little jewelry box out of his pocket. And he said "Xion, will you marry me?" There was the most -- beautiful engagement ring inside that box.
[ she presses the heel of her palm to her eye, a weak laugh coming out of her, but for reasons she can't even begin to name, she's fighting off tears. ]
It was you, Riku. You asked me to marry you that night on the bridge three years ago, and I said yes. I said yes. [ the last few words come out quite breathless, low and soft, almost a whisper. ] Ten, a hundred, a thousand times yes.
