[Lea still isn't convinced that this place is a different world. After all, until he woke up here, the idea of there being other worlds was just part of a children's story. No, this is definitely Something Else. Whether that Thing is kidnapping or just the most elaborate prank ever pulled, he doesn't know.
[Whatever the case, he's not one to sit around and wait for answers to be provided. So he heads off to explore this weird castle-that's-not-the-castle. And it's during this exploration that he sees some really tall guy.]
Hey!
[Perfect! Someone to ask questions! He hurries right on over.]
[Riku pauses at the voice, half-turning to look at the boy hurrying up to him. He's younger, sure, and the voice is different, but the sight of the spikes of red hair triggers an entirely new flow of memories. More pieces connect, and Riku turns toward Lea, frowning.]
Axel.
[Were you asking a question? Whoops, he must've missed that.]
[And now Riku's confused, too. He -looks- like Axel, and he remembers that Axel was not his friend... but what if there's something he's not remembering? Maybe this isn't the same person. He has no way of knowing. He'll just have to go with it for now.
So Riku shakes his head.]
No, I thought you were... somebody else. That's all.

It's its own world.
[It slips out before he really thinks about it. But on another thought, it makes sense. It's correct. There are a multitude of worlds out there, and he's been to several of them.]
I don't think this place is connected to anywhere else. It exists on its own.

[He blinks up at the tall man, momentarily confused. "Axel"? What kind of a weird greeting is that?]
Lemme guess. That means somethin' like, "Bad weather we're havin'," right?

[He shakes his head and spreads his arms, as one might when showing off some new outfit.]
How'd that happen? I'm one of a kind!
[He lets his arms fall with a grin.]
The name's Lea. Got it memorized?
Reply
Sure, I've got it memorized. But your hair's not one of a kind, that's for sure.
[He remembers that much!]
So, Lea. Where are we?
Reply
You don't know? Man, I was hopin' you would.
[He shrugs.]
Well, they told me it's called "Holloway's Keep". Dunno where it is, though. Been tryin' to find out.

[He folds his arms and appears to think this over.]
Couple other people said that kinda thing, too. But I don't think it is.

[He shakes his head and unfolds his arms to wave a hand in dismissal.]
Nah, we gotta be somewhere in Radiant Garden.

[It's not a familiar name to him.]
There are many other worlds out there. I've seen them for myself.

[His expression immediately shifts to curious.]
You're not just messin' with me, are ya ... uh. What's your name?
Reply
[He frowns when Lea asks for his name. For a moment he's silent, and then...]
I... do not recall.
Reply
[Forget different worlds. That right there is just weird.]
You gotta get that kinda thing memorized, man.
Reply
[Or, you know. All of them.]
They're coming back. But it's been slow going so far.
