thirtieth memory

[obliviomancy]

XI's gone.

Guess I should have expected that. The City's not supposed to be somewhere you get to stay. Everyone leaves. Maybe I'll be the next one.

I used to think that I wouldn't take the way out even if they gave me a door. That whether I wanted my heart or not, I couldn't just leave him here. He'd probably end up dying for some friend if he didn't

Take us with you, then?

[obliviomancy]

I don't think that's how it works.

[ourdenouement]

If I stay with you at all times, there's a likely chance that it'll work!

[obliviomancy]

I don't want you with me all the time. It's too confusing. I'd never be able to get anything done, either.

[ourdenouement]

Not true. I could so help with things!

[obliviomancy]

You don't like work or fighting. I'd have to save you all the time... and I want to stop talking now. This curse is worse than all the other ones combined. I didn't talk this much when I was a girl.

[ourdenouement]

That is, like, the most you've talked this entire time combined.

[obliviomancy]

I shouldn't have to say everything I'm thinking. Half of it isn't even really a big deal. Not that that's even true. I talk enough.

Voice; IMAGINE DRAMATIC EMOOOO

You talk like this, Roxas. You never, ever smile, and it might be because of the darkness in your heart. But I understand. Don't feel alone, Roxas, cause you're not. We're here for you.

Imagine Roxas trying to invent the facepalm.

[obliviomancy]

Maybe you forgot, but I don't have a heart. It's not about darkness. I don't like you because you understand what's going on. I don't need you to. I know I'm not alone even though sometimes I kind of wonder whether the ticking wouldn't be better than dealing with this.

And I don't get why everyone makes such a big deal about smiling. It's something you do with your face. So what?

-imagines it well-

[ourdenouement]

It's... it just is.

[obliviomancy]

You wouldn't like it if I went around smiling all the time.

[ourdenouement]

No, but it'd be nice to see it once.

[obliviomancy]

You've seen it more than once. It's not like I never smile. But smiling's something people do when they're happy, and pretending gets old if you do it too much.

Once... often!

[ourdenouement]

It's sad that you have to pretend.
