A Toast
The obligatory drinks had been passed out, the apple cider bubbling in the plastic champagne glasses enticingly. Sora stared through the glass, lost in thought as Maru trotted up to join him. He huffed once, brown eyes wide in worry and Sora rubbed his head absentmindedly. Kairi sidled up beside him, looking at him sympathetically. "Hey. You okay?"
"...yeah. Just a little sad, I guess. All the fun made this a little harder."
"You sure you want to do this? We can save it for later."
He shook his head once, finally glancing up to meet her eye, "Nah. It's gotta be now. Waiting'll just make it worse."
The girl nodded once in understand, then clicked the stereo off, effectively silencing the music, and Kairi called out over the room. "Hello, everyone? Can I have your attention? Sora would like to make an announcement."
Waiting until most of the quiet murmurs had settled down, the girl stepped back to give him the floor.
