[ There's a blank expression on her face, though her eyes hold some kind of thoughtful look to them as she looks up at the black hole in the sky. It's a very scary sight, but she manages to stay calm, half-mindedly tucking her hair behind her ear and moving a bit to the left ]

So, it's going to... Happen again... The very same thing.

[ There's a

Again...?

[memorablement]

[ She nods ]

[bolganone]

How could this have happened before? Abel said the same thing!

[memorablement]

[ She gives him an apologetic smile, the best she could muster ]

I don't really know, it just did.

[bolganone]

Well-- if everything was fine after the first time, maybe everything will be fine the second.

[memorablement]

[ She spares another glance to the black hole; seeing it makes it really difficult to be optimistic ]

Everything... Wasn't fine after the first time...

[bolganone]

But Abel said you were all back on the ship! So... there's a chance we'll be back here after this time, right?

[memorablement]

I don't know. It's... It's strange. I don't know what happened after the first time... But when I came back, I... I could only remember one person.

[ She closes her eyes and her voice drops to a whisper ]

I don't know how things will be after this.

[bolganone]

You're afraid you'll forget? [He looks concerned for a moment, but shakes his head hard.] No, no way! Even if we forget, it doesn't change that it happened! Someone else'll remember, and we can ask them.

[memorablement]

[ She pauses for a moment, thinking back on her powers and everything she caused with them. The boy, whoever he was... He had a point. That makes the briefest of smiles appear at the irony of it all; a memory witch afraid of forgetting, how strange was that? ]

I guess it's the selfish part of me that doesn't want to forget what happened. Too many important things... I just... I've worked hard to get them - and I don't want to forget it.

[bolganone]

Nah, that's not selfish. Just think of it like-- like a puzzle! And we can use the pieces to fix it. Even if some jerk's tryin' to make us forget it all, he can't stop us from workin' together!

[memorablement]

[ What he says manages to catch her attention fairly well and she regards him with slight wonder ]

... Puz-puzzle pieces?

[ She looks down in thought, her hand forming a lose fist underneath her chin ]

You... You remind me of someone. I don't know who, but of someone.

[bolganone]

Huh? [He looks confused, before deciding that it doesn't matter and grinning.] Well yeah, puzzle pieces! 'Cause it still happened no matter what we remember!

--Ah, right. I'm Tormod! What about you?

[memorablement]

[ She actually smiles a little at that, giving a small nod of agreement ]

I'm Naminé. It's... Nice to meet you, despite the circumstances we're in.

[bolganone]

It's nice to meet you too, Naminé-- and don't talk like it's all over just yet!
