[ Xion's taking in the sights of Goldenrod City, now that she's finally arrived. It... really is a big city, she hasn't actually been here before, and the big, tall buildings surrounding her makes her look up at awe in front of them. Sure, she's been on and seen some bigger structures, but to see them all tightly packed

I am! I'm just gonna wing it, though.

The tournament?

video

[newhero]

Yup! I've won a few tournaments in my day.

[... Sora, you're just barely 15, not an old man. don't talk like that.]

[ordalias]

[ She looks back. Right. In a haze of static, she remembers bits of those tournaments. At least they make sense to her now. ]

You're right. I... remember those. You'll be pretty tough, Sora.

[newhero]

Remember... them?

[... oh. oh. an awkward silence follows, though he smiles in thanks at the compliment.]

Xion... what else do you remember?

video

[ordalias]

I remember the Destiny Islands, your memories with Kairi, some of the worlds you visited...

[ She goes a bit quiet as she remembers these. ]

... It's not right, is it? Me, remembering all these things. It's like I'm prying.

[newhero]

I don't think so. They're... somewhere safe, which means a lot to me.

But I want to make sure you're making your own memories, too.

[ordalias]

[ Shakes her head. ] I'm the last place they should be. If I kept a hold of them, then you'd...

[ Sighs, looking down a bit now. ]

I did. I am.

[newhero]

... I'd what?

[ordalias]

[ Pauses. ] You were never told, Sora? [ She won't mention Namine, but... ]

video

[newhero]

No... All I know is that it has something to do with my memories.

[ordalias]

[ A long pause, but her Gear is shifting as Xion is moving a spot where she can sit, secluded in her own area. ]

You fell asleep, to restore your memories the way they were.

video

[newhero]

... Oh. Well-- that doesn't sound too bad! I thought you were going to tell me I'm gonna die or something.

[ever the optimist, aren't we, Sora.]

video

[ordalias]

[ A corner of her lip quirks up at that. Oh, Sora. BUT SPEAKING OF DYING- ]

But you wouldn't be able to wake up if I didn't return them to you.

video

[newhero]

I-- what?

It isn't that I don't want them back, but... I didn't realize losing a few memories could be that serious.

video

[ordalias]

Mm. The event caused all sorts of things to happen...

And it's because of those memories, I look so much like Kairi.
