[It's been five months now that Sora's been in Luceti. While everything has been great so far, he can't help but remember people telling him he's been here before. At first it made him really sad that he forgot, but people said that he should try making new memories. But what if the old ones here made him who he was? Or what if they made him better that way?

As time went on though, he knew he felt like he had been here before, and the people he met who knew him, he felt like they were supposed to be friends. But no real memories came to mind.

So he goes on the journal and he's setting up some filters to people.]

Hey, Naoto? Can we talk? I've got something really important I need to tell you.

Uh, Xion? It's Sora. Are you busy right now?

Hey, Riku, are you up to anything right about now? I need to talk.

[Now Sora decides to ask some question this.]

Hey, everyone. I was wondering, when people leave and come back and forget, do they ever remember? I mean do they ever remember this place?

Action

[After Sora's call he's going to be heading to the battledome. He wants to train a bit because sitting around is nice and all but it's not the same as actually fighting. Okay, it isn't the same as fighting and he's gotta stay in shape if they get drafted again.

People can find him going towards the battledome but he might stop among the shops to look for keychains from his journey. Always want to have other options for keyblades.]

But you don't sound very sure...

[But he won't pry if Sora's not up to talking. Just an observation, though.]

It's just...

[He sighs reluctantly.]

I wish I could remember being here.

...Oh.

[Welp, Ven can't exactly blame him. He may not be able to imagine being in his position, but the idea of having all these friends you don't remember...

Well, there's a chance he may have had them, at one point in his life.]

I understand. Well, I think I do, anyway. Can't say I know all the people you met before, but I think it's hard on everybody when you show up as a blank slate, not just the people who stay behind.

Yeah, I understand that. I mean, it doesn't bother me that I don't remember anything...what bothers me is that some of the people who know me are probably sad with me not remembering, you know? But, in the end I guess it does bother me not remembering my friends.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie and say they aren't sad. As someone who's been in their position a few times, and with somebody I...

[He pauses. No, that's in the past. He's happy now, and he's got Fuuko.

Right, back on track.]

The point is, it's definitely not easy, but at the same time, I think it'd be selfish of them to put the blame on you. Whether people remember or not... Well, I don't know who or what determines it, but it's obviously something outside our control.

Ven?

[Hearing Ven seemingly stop himself in mid sentence, Sora's a bit worried. What as he going to say?

But it seems they're going to go back to what Sora was talking about.]

I wouldn't blame them if they did though...

[He's supposed to be the key that connects everything, right? Goofy once told him that. Was he doing a bad job at it not remembering people he became friends with?]</small.

Aww, you shouldn't think that way, Sora! I think anybody who's been here long enough oughta know better. It's just one of those things you can't control, even if it hurts.

But that's why you just gotta make the most of the time you do have with your friends. Make those memories count, so that if they leave, you have something you can look back on.

[He still cherishes the memories of all the friends who've left. Even if they return as blank slates, he'll never forget, as long as he's in Luceti.]

[There's a nod. That's all he could do. Make the best of what he had and not to look back. Feeling bad wouldn't help here would it? His friends here would just get sadder if he did that.]

Right, you're right, Ven. Thanks. I'll try and do that.

Hey, no problem! And if you ever need a reminder, you know I'm happy to help.

Besides, it's what friends do.

[What friends do...Yup.]

Hm, yeah. I'll be sure to. And the same to you, okay?

[After all, it feels like he needs to watch out Ven. There's just something that tells him to.]
