I only did what I believed to be right, not what I wanted. To protect the worlds, to prevent an end to everything. I thought, perhaps, I could make up for my failure to stop Xehanort when I first knew...

[But even if it was to protect all of the worlds from darkness, what good was that if he succumbed to darkness himself? He leaned heavily on the glider as it descended, having to support his head with one arm now.]

But still, I failed again. And there is nothing I can say or do now to make things right.

[Suddenly, Kura popped out from behind his master and began screeching and chattering at Ven, as if it had decided to step in and say all the things that Eraqus refused to now...that he'd realized all of this too late before losing his life. Or, maybe, it was just still angry about being attacked. While Eraqus didn't know exactly what the Spirit was trying to say, he had a good enough idea, and quietly chided it.]

No. That undoes nothing.

[He heard some of Sora's warning, and it made sense, but he couldn't respond to it just now. Perhaps the injury was just catching up with him, but he didn't want to move too much right now.]
