Day 12 | ~ Renewal ~

[She's back.

She's back.

She's alive and breathing and --

And she still looks like Sora. She doesn't know why, but she doesn't really care right now. She went back to him, she knows she did. It's the last thing she remembers, fading into light as everything she is and Roxas was flowed back to him.

And now she's back.

This is Luministi. This is that town. Why is she back? How is she back? She's not sure she cares. She's too excited. She's alive, she's back in that place where she met all of her new friends, she can finally start to live, really live, just like the Doctor showed her -- She is just so excited to be back.

Until she learns that Verita doesn't remember her. That... stings. Xion knew that everyone would forget her when she went back to Sora, but she had thought -- No... She didn't think. Things aren't the way they were.

Everyone's... forgotten her.

Xion is now just kind of wandering around the plaza, hood down, staring at the ground. She's not so excited any more. She's happy she's still alive, still exists, yes, that's true. But...

She's too wrapped up in her thoughts and feelings to notice the music following her around.]

[softly] You can't blame yourself for something that you couldn't prevent. It isn't like you intentionally forgot. We understand. You can't change what happened no more than I can.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I know, but... It still bothers me.

[bit_impossible]

Well... [starts rubbing the back of his neck] Yeah, it does me as well, but! There are other things to do--like finding our way to the Mayor's house again. If we can find Caligin again, we can find out why we were brought back.

Maybe there should be another wedding...?

[bit_impossible]

[as he hasn't yet run into Sophie...]

I--well, that all depends! Knowing Sophie, I doubt she'll be keen on me proposing again. She wasn't exactly happy with it the first time...

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

So... Maybe Fuu?

[HI SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS OF MARRIAGE AND ROMANCE AND ACCEPTABLE AGES]

[bit_impossible]

[thank goodness he isn't drinking anything; he'd've choked on it] Ah, no. No.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[bit_impossible]

[he sighs] Because she has someone special back home and besides, I'm rubbish at my own weddings--especially other people's. Why this sudden fixation on weddings?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Oh! Really? I didn't know that...

I-It's not a fixation! [o_o] It's just that that's what worked last time...

[bit_impossible]

[that may or may not be a lie from him. he isn't entirely sure.]

Ahhh, see, that's exactly why we shouldn't use that tactic again. They'll be expecting it!

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

But they don't remember what happened last time.

[bit_impossible]

Or so it seems right now. Never know, Xion! They might be experiencing something similar to what we did. [he smiles and pats her head.]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

That's a good point...

[As he pats her head, something registers.]

S-So do you think Verita will remember me again?

[bit_impossible]

[his smile falters ever so slightly before he answers]

She might, yes. But you'll need to give her time. Not everyone can handle their mind being tampered with once. Doing the same thing but in reverse could make it worse--or nothing adverse will happen at all. That's the beauty of the human mind. You just need to be there for her in the event that she does remember.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I will be.
