[She should have seen it coming. She could control memories, after all. But she had lost all her memories during Halloween, and she had only realized this after they were all returned to her.

Being emotionless again was a rather frightening idea.]

Everyone has their memories back, right? Hopefully there isn't any side effects of the curse...I wouldn'

You and me both.

[He studies the image while he can.]

It's missing something, you know.

[colorme_in]

[She gives a curious look at him.]

Huh? What is?

[ninthserenade]

The picture. It's missing an open door and friends waiting for her to come out.

[colorme_in]

...

[She has to smile a little at that positive image.]

I-I guess it is.

[ninthserenade]

It's always good to have at least one person you can reach out to. They'll help you out when you need it--Cheer you up, give you advice, things like that.

[colorme_in]

Yeah, you're right, Demyx. And I do have people like that...

...Thank you.

[ninthserenade]

It feels nice to have people like that, doesn't it?

Hey, don't thank me--A stubborn old man we both know sort of taught me that.

[colorme_in]

It does. Do you have anyone like that, Demyx?

...Stubborn old man?

[ninthserenade]

Yeah!

Y'know, Xiggy?

[colorme_in]

[A little smile.] I don't think he would like it if you called him an old man, Demyx.

[ninthserenade]

Nah, he's cool. I never mean any harm by it.

[colorme_in]

You're good friends, aren't you? It must be really happy to have a friend like that.

[ninthserenade]

Yeah. I guess it's a little weird from an outside perspective but it's pretty fun.

[colorme_in]

I'm glad you have a friend like that. Nobodies shouldn't be alone...

[ninthserenade]

Nobody should be alone, heart or no heart.

You've got someone like that, right?
