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

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

--[Click.]

Alright, alright, fine.

...Are you going to be okay? [She seems safe, but that still means his other friend isn't there yet.]

You still need to shower and eat.

Good... And thanks.

[He sounds uncertain. Maybe of what he's saying, maybe of why Riku's asking him that.] Of course. I... didn't think it was possible for her to show up here. I would have had a job by now if I'd known. [Or believed.]

Food hasn't been too big of a problem yet. ... It's also been raining a lot lately.

I knew she'd be along. I think there's a connection to all of us, our hearts calling to them...whether we want it to or not. I knew she'd show up. Ven will too.

[Deadpan.] Terra.

... Our hearts, huh?

[Flatly.] Where do you live?

That's a theory that's been going around. I'm not sure who called me here, though.

[Insert directions here.]

You'd better be careful with his heart around. Who knows who it might be trying to call.

[You'll regret that soon, Riku.]

I know. I'm...almost wondering if one of the Nobodies called me because of him.

[Sobbies.]

Why would one of the Nobodies call him? How could one of the Nobodies call him?

They knew him as the scientist I told you about.

Xehanort.

But they don't have hearts.

They did once. They still could have found some way to begin the process.

Or the theory could be wrong.

Do you really believe one machine could have done all of this?

I don't know anything about machines, Riku. Who am I to say what one can or can't do?

Do you really believe hearts are all-powerful?

True...

Sora's done some pretty amazing things with that heart of his. I think they're plenty powerful.

[Safe answer, Riku. There's a lengthy pause as he thinks something over.]

You met Aqua when you were a kid.

Briefly, but she arrived only a little after you did...so I remembered. Besides, it's not every day that people from other worlds show up.

[He wanted to leave so badly that the two of them gave him hope that he could, even if Aqua's meeting had been...cryptic.]

It is around here. But I know what you mean.

You never saw a kid that looked like Roxas on your islands?

I have a better memory than most, sad to say.

No, I didn't.

... Yeah. That might explain it.

Explain what?

If the theory's right and hearts have something to do with why people do or don't show up here, you having met Aqua but not Ven would explain why one of my friends is here and the other isn't. My heart couldn't have called her here.

...Why wouldn't you have been about to call her? And hey, don't blame this on me.

[...]

I'm not blaming you. Sorry if it sounded like I was.

[Too late, now the thought's in his head.]

Why wouldn't your heart call to hers?
