Well, here's one for you, Riku. There's a girl with short black hair wearing the Organization coat sitting just outside of House 13. She's minding her own business, eating sea salt ice cream.
What do, Riku? What do?]

That's when his gaze falls on the girl sitting there; it couldn't be-]
...Kairi?
[Not, it can't be her, it can't be. There is no way he'd ever see her where a cloak like that. Great, another Organization experiment then?
Not that's much of a surprise all things considered. Still, he feels his anger rising - it was bad enough that they'd tried to use Sora and himself, but now even Kairi? He is not going to let them get away with that.]

"Kairi"?
[And she sees a boy there, silver hair, bright blue eyes. She tilts her head a little. He seems... almost familiar somehow.]
I'm sorry, but... My name's Xion. [pause] I haven't seen you around here before. Are you new?

As if you don't know. What is this, another recruitment attempt?
[If it is, then it sure isn't going to work.]
Reply
Recruitment? What are you talking about?
[This boy, he seems so angry, and she can sense that he has a heart. Recruitment...? Her confusion is clear in her mind-voice.]
You're not a Nobody...

Didn't seem to matter last time. And it's not like you are one to talk.
[Because while he isn't exactly sure who or what she is, he knows one thing - her smell holds none of the 'nothingness' he's sensed in the Organization members at Castle Oblivion.]
Reply
[Wait. What?]
Yes, I am.
Reply
[Then again, he can't be sure if/how much of his fight with Zexion actually ever made it to them.
He frowns at her, shaking his head.]
You are about as much one of those 'Nobodies' as I am. I can sense it.
Reply
[Xion starts shaking her head.]
No. I am. I'm a Nobody. You're wrong.
[Why... is she reacting like this?]
Reply
...You are just like that guy, aren't you? Just another fake.
[If he was right, then that would at least be an explanation as to why she looks so similar to Kairi.]

[Something in her goes still. Xion's eyes widen.

No! That's not true! I'm not a fake! How can you say something like that? You don't even know me!
Reply
If you are not one of them, what else could you be? It certainly wouldn't be the first time the Organization copied someone else's memory and twisted it into a tool.

They are going to get rid of you, once you've lost your use. I guess I owe it to him to make sure you know that much at least.

Xion's eyes widen. This guy... Who is he? She looks away.]
They... They'd turn anyone in the Organization. who isn't working hard into a Dusk. It's like that for all of us. [... right?]
Him... Him who?
