Backdated to the days after the Doppleganger dream]

[Simon will be delivering these letters to the Heroes. He's coming from across the ocean, so they will arrive a few days after the dream.]

Heroes of Light,

I do not know which of you were able to see what happened, so I speak to you as a whole. To those of you whom Dycedarg hurt or used, I beg your forgiveness. If there is anything I can do to make amends, I shall.


Sincerely,
Ramza Beoulve

[Arriving after Yuffie's response to Kidd's letter]

Yuffie,

I am sorry I left without coming to see you. I did not plan it that way. I hope I can do more good in Aerilon than I was able to in Aqures Ixen. I hope you do not think ill of me for my absence. I plan to return to your side soon.

Yours truly,
Ramza.

[Out of many crumpled attempts, this is the one that ends up in Simon's bag to deliver. It has been some days after the fight, and both bruises and temper have started to fade.]

Luffy,

I do not expect your forgiveness. I did you and the other captives wrong by not seeing you freed, and that is my sin to bear. It is your right to hate me. I will not ask to rejoin your crew. But if you care for Yuffie, you must speak with her. She thinks you do not want her by your side, and that wounds her more deeply than the blow you gave her. Know that if you hurt her again, by word or by deed, I will hunt you down to the ends of this earth and make you pay, without regard for our former companionship. But if you heal this rift between the two of you, you will have my gratitude, whether or not you desire it.

I hope you will see reason in this matter.

Ramza

Dear Ramza,

If this is the dream I think you are talking about then I would happen to be one of them since I believe that name to be awfully familiar. But you know you don't need to apologize for something that happened all those years ago.

But if you want to make amends there is something you can do and it might seem a little odd. But I would like for us to be friends. That is all I want.

From Yugi.

Ramza,

Honestly... I was planning to meet up with Kidd in Aerilon for a bit cuz she said she was doing something there. I just can't believe you left for what? A MONTH! And you didn't say goodbye. Plus there is the whole fight in the middle of the observatory thing.

Yeah, I heard about that.

You shouldn't do that... I don't even know WHY you would do that. It's not like you were going to kill him or anything and his heads to thick to have anything knocked into him.

[There is a notable pause and a slightly darker font from here on.]

I miss you. So wither it's there or here. We should hang out again. I moved out of Tifa's house. I don't know if she really minded or not. I still visit a lot and sometimes sleep over. I'm back living in my old place. It's just me but it's nice. The floor is still stained blue... Did I even tell you about that? It's a pretty fun and slightly terrifying story.

[Another pause and the font changes slightly.]

You can do stuff here and there. Just don't start fights and then leave. It makes me worried and it's annoying to have to worry about my friends.

( dycedarg... meredy had heard that name many times during the night. as she reads over ramza's letter again, she sits in her dimly lit room, moogle poised wih a quill ready to reply. idly, as she coached him through the words she wanted to say in return, she wondered what sort of person ramza was... )

      Did you... know Dycedarg? Was he someone from your home? I am wondering because... there was also someone in the dream from my home, too. Someone that maybe is known to Dycedarg too, since that is what it seemed like.

I do not believe there is a reason for Ramza to be sorry, either. Maybe you will feel this way, and because you do, that makes you different, does it not? Ramza is not Dycedarg just like... Meredy is not Shizel.
