[For a moment, all that's seen is a little kitten on the screen. It mewls sadly, soon picked up by a certain silver-haired teen that hasn't said much for a while. Why isn't Tomoe-san in the box? :c]

For anyone who knew Mami Tomoe... she's returned home. [And those who know... know what that means.] She left Aurelio here, and I'd take him in... but I have a few too many pets as it is.

[Seriously, guys. WHY DO YOU KEEP LEAVING HIM YOUR PETS? He has a small petting zoo, here! He sighs, turning off the feed.]

[Private to Roxas]

[...At least, long enough to set up a private message.]

...We need to talk. I know you hate me and would rather not hear from me again, but if you're willing to listen... I'm willing to answer whatever you want to know.

[Couldn't blame him from trying to keep his promise, right?]

[Riku says nothing at first, sighing at the reaction. For some reason...]

When you look at what's plainly visible, maybe... but something doesn't feel right, and I can't put a finger on why. All I know is it has something to do with one of your friends...

The last entry from 'home' was written three days before we fought, and even that one has parts missing.

[But they were out of time... If things didn't continue progressing, Sora would never be able to wake up and he'd be lost. He still hates himself for that, because thinking back... it's all his fault any of it happened in the first place. At least in his mind.]

Xion. Xion disappeared, too, so Sora could be whole.

[Yeah, that's sounding more and more suspicious.]

You let her choose. She said it was her decision.

[...He doesn't say anything to that, eyebrows furrowing as he tries to remember something that's behind nothing but white noise. It's almost funny, how that rings true for some reason.]

...One no one should ever have to make.

[He can't confirm or deny what Roxas said, but he does seem disturbed by it.]

[coolerthansora]

But I had a right to make it myself. Just as much as she did.

[Action]

[limitless_land]

...I know.

[He seems to calm down a fraction at that.]

Then you know you screwed up.
