[A communicator in a crystal. After seeing Terra try it, Kain is likewise looking into the crystal to find out what he can do with it. He stares intently into it for a moment and frowns. He's not sure he's doing this right.]

By now we all know our purpose. To wage war upon our enemies...

[The idea nags at his thoughts a little, but none of it

A- a little bit, but...

[ She remembers a lot of bad stuff. ]

[bound_skyward]

But not very much, I've no doubt. [And because he's getting a feeling that about some details, he's not the only one.] Are many of your memories... related to fighting?

[brightsiding]

Almost all of them are.

Yours, too?

[bound_skyward]

Nearly all of them. I wonder if it means that this isn't entirely the beginning of the war...

[brightsiding]

I don't know. Some of it...

Seems kind of familiar, like it was here, but... It's all really blurry.

[ She can't tell much of anything. ]

[bound_skyward]

As far as I know, all of my memories are also from here. I wonder if the memories lost to us will ever be regained...

[brightsiding]

Mine, too. I can remember little things, but, nothing's really... Um... Clear.

[ She frowns. ]

You think we lost them? [ What if they were just never there at all? ]

[bound_skyward]

I don't know how else to explain it, but it seems to be that way. Perhaps they were taken when we were asleep.

[brightsiding]

That's not fair..!

Taking them when we can't do anything about it!

[bound_skyward]

There's hardly anything fair about our situation in general. But if anyone would have answers... Cosmos or Chaos would.

[brightsiding]

No, I guess not. But... Making us fight is different than taking away our memories... No one should be able to do that.

Think there's a way to ask them..?

[bound_skyward]

I don't know for certain... they might not be so willing to give answers.

...We're not mindless puppets, though. We were brought here to fight, but I know I still have my willpower intact.

[And it's staying that way if he can help it.]

[brightsiding]

I guess it can't hurt to ask, right?

Nope! Not mindless. But... You don't think something bad would happen if we didn't fight?

[bound_skyward]

It's possible they could punish us for refusing to follow orders.

[brightsiding]

By taking more memories?

[bound_skyward]

Perhaps so. Who knows what horrific things they're capable of?
