[A soft hum sounds over the network.]

I guess I slept in for too long...Kairi moved all of my things into here already.

[There is a rustle of fabric, and then fingers grasp at the communicator.]Hello to all of our newcomers. My name is Naminé, I'm one of the residents here. If nobody has given you the text file explaining what the Facility is, I

[have one exhausted replica stare at the screen in surprise for a brief moment, then... just quietly...]

......Naminé?

[A pause. She...can only imagine how upset he must have been, if Riku and Axel were telling the truth. She had told herself a long time ago she wouldn't make him sad over her, but here she had done it again.

She would make it up to him. Somehow, someway. For now, she gives him a small smile, her voice soft.]

Hi Mera.

[nisenosonzai]

[He broke down. Literally broke down when he couldn't take much else after not getting any sleep at all for over a week that he practically passed out after Xion and Riku visited. But he won't show that, now. Instead he'll just... put on a brave face. Please don't confuse it with an angry one.]

...Where are you?

[linkingmemories]

[She is quiet for a moment before glancing away.]

Suite 13AB. I'm staying with Kairi now.

[nisenosonzai]

... I'll be right over. [Sleep? What is sleep? He slept all day he'll be fine.]

[linkingmemories]

Okay.

[She's waiting in the room by the time he comes, wringing her hands in her lap.]

video; 1/3 ...I think.

[nisenosonzai]

[When he first gets there he just wants to... yell, even before knocking on the door. Not necessarily at her, but the Consortium for being... well, themselves. Knowing she'd been gone a second time was a hard blow, and it's a miracle he had stomached it. Yet seeing her face on the 'berry, hearing her voice...

He knocks, entering when it's allowed. At first he is dead serious--physically and emotionally drained-looking from the lack of sleep it'll take a while to catch up on. But first...]

[nisenosonzai]

[He does his best to look just a bit angry--he is, but not at her. It's weird. But then he just...]

video; just minus the blood, lol >_>;

[nisenosonzai]

[...Was he ever afraid of touching and being touched? Because if he had been, it was thrown out the space-window as he closes the distance and just... embraces her. Tight. Almost as if for dear life. He'd been worried, and it's something he hopes to never feel again. Ever.] Don't scare us [me] like that...

video; ...that's blood? D8

[linkingmemories]

[She steels herself when Mera starts to look angry-- muscles tensing and teeth gritting in a way that was not Riku's but his own-- telling herself that she deserved any angry words he gave her. So it's with a soft gasp that she finds herself pulled into his tight embrace, her hands hovering, unsure, over his back.]

Mera...

[And then she is placing her hands on his back, returning the hug, pressing her cheek to his shoulder. And she realizes just how deep his grief must have been.]

I'm sorry. I keep hurting everyone. I keep hurting you.

video; idk but I dun think it's kool-aid... D:

[nisenosonzai]

[He just can't find it in himself to be that mad at her, even after all that's happened. In fact, he's more angry at himself for not being able to keep a certain promise. So really, it doesn't bother him that she's surprised by this sudden display. And that name for himself... it's still so foreign to him, yet it gets a faint smile. He shakes his head, resting his chin on her shoulder.]

It... isn't your fault.

[He knows this, knows whose it is and that they're still out of reach. If only they could somehow change it... because every time she 'vanished' or died... It's hurt. Hurt more than when the others--even Sora--did.]

[linkingmemories]

Even if it isn't, it still hurts you. And I'm sorry for that. I-- I don't want to be the reason why you keep hurting.

[She tightens her grip on the back of his shirt, closing her eyes.]

It's not fair to you. Not after everything you've given me.

video; ;___;

[nisenosonzai]

Naminé... [Did you forget how stubborn he is? Because you will never be, in his mind, the reason he hurts. The ones who hurt you, or the others, however...]

I guess it's just the price of caring.

[But- wait. When did a fake like him ever give her anything?]

video;

[linkingmemories]

[She pulls back a little from their embrace, raising her head to look at him.]

I don't think I've thanked you for that. For caring for me. So thank you.

video;

[nisenosonzai]

[He pulls away slightly too, a little perplexed by that moment of thanksgiving before he chuckles a bit, shaking his head.] ...Silly.

[It's on instinct, but he lightly bops her forehead with his own- just barely touching it.]

Truth is, it's easy to care when you l-like someone. [...you are imagining the pink tint. Totally.]
