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.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

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.

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

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?

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

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.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

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.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Then he's a Master.

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

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

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.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

Weird.

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

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

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

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

It still isn't right.

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

No. It isn't.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

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.

voice;

[walkthedawn.livejournal.com]

I know. And I don't blame Axel in the slightest. No one was happy about it the other day.

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Terra wanted to know about Axel and Xion, too. Whether they're Keybearers too. [And there's a brief pause to imagine Axel with a Keyblade.] I wouldn't say, but if he learns about Xion, he'll be interested in her too.

Let me know what happens, okay? Whatever he says.
