[A dial tone, a ring, and then silence.]

"Leave a message and I'll get back to you."

--[Click.]

I met that Terra guy.

...What? Where?

He came to Kahve and waited for me outside. I didn't know it was him until I ran into him, because I never saw his face.

He... [He's stalking you now?] ...Be careful around him. He seems like he has good intentions, but-

I will. He's really not getting it; I told him I'm not not his friend, but he won't listen because I wouldn't break his stupid charm.

But he seemed...I don't know. Sad?

Break his charm? What?

[He sighs.] He's... I imagine he is, Roxas.

He had this star-shaped thing that he said symbolized his bond with his friends, and if I really wasn't 'Ven,' I should be able to break it, that it shouldn't mean anything to me. But I can't just do that to someone else's stuff.

[He hadn't seen that during their fight.] ...That's good of you, Roxas. And kind.

I get what it's like to lose a friend. But I can't give him his friend back. And I can't be his friend—maybe I don't remember a lot, but I remember pieces of Sora. I can't be someone else's Nobody!

[Gently:] Easy, Roxas. Take it easy. We're going to figure this out, I promise.

[He sighs] I just don't get it. It doesn't make sense.

Nothing ever does right away. Let me talk to him.

I don't want you to have to take responsibility for this, but if nothing I say will work...

He keeps talking about my heart. He thinks my heart will remember him.

He's my responsibility too. He's a Keyblade Master and older than us. I have questions for him.

I'll explain it to him.

He said he's not one. Something about a mark. Right before we split up...I told him I don't have a heart. He just ignored it. I don't know what he thought.

When did you meet him before?

A mark? [Tainted by the darkness, just like him.]

We met before...a long time ago. And I saw him again when he arrived in Siren's Port.

The...Mark of Mastery, I think. He said it means you're not an apprentice anymore.

He said it was ten years ago that he knew me. That can't possibly be true.

Then he's a Master.

[Ten years ago. Ven.] I'm not sure. We'll figure it out. He has to have an explanation.

I don't know. He was pretty touchy about saying he's not.

His explanation's probably going to be that Xemn—Xehanort did something to me. That I lost my memory again. But it's not like it was with Xion.

Weird.

[Xehanort did something? Xemnas, possibly. Xemnas inside of Terra? This was all too confusing.] Did he? Hm...

It's what he wants to believe. Must be easier than admitting his friend isn't here.

It still isn't right.

No. It isn't.

Try not to dwell on it, Roxas.

I'm trying, but it's not every day some stranger with a Keyblade comes up to you and tells you that you're not who you think you are and your name isn't your name.

Axel's not too happy about it, either.
