[ Vanitas snorts. Rolls his eyes. Then he takes the other ring and Sora's and. A thumb rubs over the skin.

Vanitas isn't... Well he doesn't do words. Words are hard. Speak things into existence that can't be taken back. But in this case? It's just because Vanitas struggles with his feelings. ]

Maybe it might have slipped your notice what month it is, but it hasn't slipped mine. It's something like two years ago, technically in time here, that you first made the vows to save my life. I was... Afraid. Scared. Angry. I didn't want it. Didn't want to invite that weakness into my life.

[ He squeezes Sora's hand. ]

Yet you've been patient with me. You're definitely one of the reasons I am learning who I am and learning to accept who I am. We still have differences. Still argue and disagree on things. Though I've come to trust you. Even... Love you. So let me continue to put my trust in you. Let me learn how to hope that something beyond right now even exists.

[ Then looks up and into Sora's eyes. ]

Let me keep making new vows with you and renewing all the old ones every year. Every February.
