"Never!" That had been the start of their little trio, and bonds had been formed between the three of them that he hadn't seen mirrored among many others. Sora was almost proud of just how attached he was to Riku and Kairi. Some would have seen it as a weakness, something that could be used against him, but he had always gathered his strength from his friends.

"Really?!" While Nowe had said something similar about never seeing the ocean, each time Sora heard it he could barely believe it. "I grew up right by the water. We went down there to play and lounge around every day... It was great!"

Did that mean Renji hadn't seen the ocean many times, either? Oh, he'd have to take them!
