"Yeah. Well, you know, look me up if you do. I know all the best places," he assured her, finishing off his last few bites of the breakfast sandwich. When she brought up Shiki though, it was hard to hide the fact that he missed seeing his friend. He could get through tough times on his own, but somehow when Shiki and the others had been around, things had gotten easier, not harder.
"Shiki? She's... yeah. A girl I know back home. I don't know if you believe it or not, but ever since I got here, I've been running into people who look like people I knew before," he tried to explain but only seemed to find more reasons why it should be a dream or some really weird trip instead of reality. How else was that possible? It was weird enough when he'd found out Shiki wasn't even really Shiki in the game, but this was a whole 'nother mess of problems that... "You and her could pass for sisters."
He shook his head as if he didn't quite believe it himself. It wasn't like him to freak out like this. He had to keep a cool head or he really was gonna lose it. Best to focus on something easy. "Right, so tin pins. It's a game that a lot of the kids are playing back home. It's kinda lame, but the name pretty much says it all. Slamming pins into each other on a game board to try to knock the other guys off. Last man standing wins."

Shiki and her looked that similar? She tilted her head to the side again, her eyes wide and questioning. Interesting … “More people looking like people you know? Like who besides me?” She couldn’t help but keep that thought alive that maybe one of those people was Sora. After all, she had mistook him for Sora when she first entered the cafeteria, but she didn’t want to ask because she still felt bad for when she had first told him.
“That game sounds kind of … hard,” Kairi admitted, smiling sheepishly. “I’ve never heard of something like that. Have you ever played? We never really had games like that to play on Destiny Islands … when we were younger I used to watch my friends fake fight each other with fake swords … jump ropes … balls…” a pause, and she giggled. “The swords usually won.”

"My roommate for starters," he frowned slightly, glancing around to see if he could catch sight of the other guy. "His name is Roxas I think. Only his hair is kind of different. Blond and slicked to one side? Then I met another guy yesterday, Sora. Brown spiky hair."
He hadn't actually mentioned one to the other. It was possible they knew each other or were related or something, but if that was the case, he didn't know anything about it. "It's just not everyday you see someone else who could almost be your double. Seems pretty messed up to me. Then the other night there was a guy who looked like Joshua. He's-"
Friend was probably too strong a word, but again, he didn't hate the guy. Just found him hella obnoxious at times. "He's here too actually. Little bit taller than me, hair bleached so white it looks silver. Always has an annoying smirk. But there was some other guy that looked like him. Kaworu? I think?"
He shook his head, "anyway. Yeah, I played a little. There was a tournament that I had to compete in and-... heh. Getting your ass kicked by a twelve-year-old isn't something to brag about, so I'm not all that into it." Kairi's friends sounded much more like the innocent types at least. No video games to taint their pure young minds and whatnot. Just went to show that kids would get into fights, fake or otherwise, no matter where they were from. Everyone clashed, just like Mr. H said.
"I bet," he added. "Jump rope isn't much of a match." Though try telling that to the girl who used a creepy stuffed animals to help fight her battles. Or a cell phone. Or a skateboard. Or...

And then …
At the mention of Sora, Kairi’s emotions got the best of her. “Sora?!” she practically squeaked, excited and worried at the same time. “Is he okay? He wasn’t hurt, right? He’s one of my best friends … he was here before I fell asleep, and I’m sure I worried him terribly…”
When the head doctor spoke, she could have cried. No! she thought internally as a nurse came over to escort her from the Cafeteria, and she knew it was too late. Sighing, Kairi turned and looked at Neku with a smile. “Thank you, Neku. Let’s talk again later, okay?”
As she was led away, she was lost in her thoughts. So, Sora was still here - she was pleased with that fact, yet sad as well. He hadn’t gone home in the entire span of time she slept? She thought for sure if anyone would have found a way to escape Landel’s it would have been Sora.
