Krolia and Texas Kogane, probably;

Texas Kogane:*Holds baby Keith in his arms*

Krolia: *comes into the room*

Krolia: I want to see my little boi~

after Keith leaves for his BOM mission, the team finds a USB stick in his room, under his pillow, with this video on it. 

Dialogue

hey guys, chances are that you’ve found this video by now. I don’t have many belongings, so it must have been easy to find. 

And, um, this is all I left behind. *voice crack and rubs fingers together*

okay, *closes eyes* keep it together, Keith. *slow exhale*

I used to be the paladin of the Black Lion. But, I don’t know what to say about myself now. I guess Im a member of the Blades, if they consider me one. There’s a lot I still need to learn, and so many people more qualified than me in the Blade of Marmora. I guess I was a vital member to BOM while I was a paladin, but Im not a paladin anymore. I honestly wonder who I really am. My only identity, the only part of me that ever felt real, felt like I belonged, felt like home, was when I was Red’s paladin.

However, I guess i didn’t belong there at all. Red bonded with Lance, I would never take that away from either of them. Being the black paladin made me feel sick. I felt like I was just strengthening the divide between you all and Shiro when he came back if I piloted Black. Ever since I figured out that I’m Galra, there’s been this undertone distancing between us. I don’t blame anyone, I just wish my circumstances were different.

I love Red. Me and Red had this unexplainable relationship, he was there for me though thick and thin. A lot of the times when I would need to cry to someone at night, I would just sit near Red and his presence just soothed me, cooled my blood, made me feel wanted. For once, I didn’t feel like I was bothering someone with my problems.

But, Lance, when you told me that you felt unneeded, unwanted, that you felt like everyone was excelling and you were falling behind. 

I know how that feels! I would never want anyone else to feel that way! Lance, you don’t deserve to feel that way!

So I backed out of Voltron. I quit, gave Black back to Shiro and Red to Lance. As Lance said, we need our best fighters on the battlefield. I was not going to let my weird mental health issues get in the way with something as important as fighting the Galra. 

So I moved to a position a little less vital. If I died or screwed up in the BOM, I would be replaced by another guy. It would still work out. If I made a mistake while in Voltron, which I did do multiple times and I am so so sorry guys that I screwed it all up for all of us, then it would affect millions and most importantly, it would directly affect you all.

Over time, I learned to consider you all as family. No, even more. You guys are all I had and all I have ever had, no one had ever made me feel wanted or needed before, until I joined Voltron. Every time I made a mistake in the past, people would never forgive me. They would just leave me to wonder what I was doing wrong. I guess, it was unfair of me to assume the same about you guys, but I couldn’t handle it. What if I screwed up one day and all of you would leave? All of you would give up on me. All of you would........

 stop loving me. *tears* 

So I had to leave first. I had to leave before I made a mistake and hurt you all, or ended up broken again. 

I love you guys, thank you for all of the good memories. But I can’t do this again,

I can’t get attached again,

I can’t let my hopes rise again,

I can’t get hurt again.

Please continue Voltron without me. It’ll be easier without me, anyways. No more arguing between me and Lance, and no more impulsive and dangerous moves on missions. I hope Voltron suits you all well, and please know that i am a call away if you ever need support in a fight.

Lastly, I recorded this for a specific reason. I know how deadly these upcoming missions with the BOM are, so I recorded this just in case I would never see you guys again. *voice cracks* I love you all so much.

Coran and Allura, thank you so much for introducing me to Voltron. You really helped me find a place where I belong. I have felt at home for the first time in my life. I wish you guys luck with everything and I hope you can live to see more Alteans and a world where they are abundant. 

Hunk, you were always so positive and funny. Thank you for all of the hugs and jokes and times that we have shared. I love you so much, and I hope you continue with cooking and engineering and can finally settle down on Earth once this is all over and become as successful as I know you will be. 

Pidge, I hope your whole family is reunited once again. I hope you can sit with them at dinner again and eat familiar and warm food while laughing and cracking science jokes. I know that’s what you miss most. I hope your hair can grow out again, because you told me you missed it, I hope you and Matt will continue to make amazing advances in galactic technology and travel the universe together. I hope you grow up to be a beautiful and kind person that I know you will be. You have always been like a little sister to me, and I love you more than anything, Katie Holt.

Lance, I hope you get to see your baby twin cousins. How old will they be when you get back to Earth? What will Ms. Blue Lion (Or Red Lion I guess) look like? I hope she makes you the happiest, I hope you stay laughing and smiling as you always have. I hope you know how important you are, how great of a man you are, how humble and funny and pretty you are, I hope you get to reunite with all 53 members of your family where you guys can practice family traditions and drink warm soup with each other. I hope you get to sleep in that soft blanket on Earth that you're always missing. I hope you get to drink chamomile tea and eat Earth food and dance in the rain the day you get home. I hope you get to do everything you want to. I know you will be successful, I know that you will make an amazing father and husband and that you will become famous. Lance, I love you so much. Please don’t give up on your dreams, please don’t stop smiling, and if you ever need any support, remember our moments together and how incredibly talented you are. You’ll make it through, man.

Shiro, you are the rightful leader of Voltron. You have worked so hard and you really deserve to be exactly where you are right now. I am so proud of you for never giving up. Unfortunately, I am no where near as strong as you. 

You’re so inspirational, you never gave up, even when the chance of survival was so little and when hope was spread so thin. You have taught me so many things, you have wiped so many of my tears, and you have comforted me countless times. Shiro, I love you so so so much, and I am really going to miss you so much. I wish you all the best with everything coming up in your life, you will make an amazing dad and husband. I can’t wait for you to get back to Earth and see how popular you are, and for you to receive all the attention and recognition you deserve. 

I am going to miss you so much, but you have so much light ahead of you, such a bright future. I am so proud of you for all that you have done and haven’t done. I love you, Shiro. Keep going.

After the fight with the Galra, if I am still alive, I plan to travel the universe in search of my roots. Never know how far away we will all end up from each other, but you will all always be in my heart.
