[Sora learns something new every day. Big things, like how the second siren means 'Eleven minutes left. Hurry. Hurry.' or how some things don't need to be fair or kind for it to be splashed across walls. 'Go home newcomer.']
[But he learns little things too. Tiny ones. The kind of things that don't matter to anybody but him. Like the way that Namine puts her hand over her heart when she's touched: 'Thank you.' Or the way that Axel rubs his fingers together when he's making a point: 'Listen up'. He knows that Joe nods his head to a tempo only playing inside his head when he's tired, 'Keep the beat. Keep awake.' Xion pulls her hair behind her ear: 'I'm nervous'. And Roxas likes to think in high places. 'I'm far away, but never far enough you can't reach.']
[And then sometimes, he learns about himself: These tiny lessons, these tiny things he likes to learn about his friends? They won't matter much when he goes home. Not when half his friends here in Siren's Port are long gone or long forgotten. Not if they don't exist anymore.]
[There are some things you can't fix. But as he taps a message into his NV, he hopes there's a way he can try anyway.]
[ text // FAILED-filtered from Roxas, Namine, Joe, Xion, Axel]
I just don't get it. Why would Siren's Port have us meet all these people we can't see or help back home? And why would it make us forget?
[Barely any time passes before another text is sent out almost immediately following the first. More upbeat -- Don't worry about that first one.]
Just wondering. Anyway, I've made a lot of good friends here at Siren's Port! Ones I definitely wanna remember when I go back. What I really wanted to ask instead was: If you had to go home, what kinda memories would you wanna keep? Happy ones, funny ones. I want to hear them all!
[Private Voice to Roxas]
Roxas... I talked to Xion. She told me what really happened.
All that stuff I said to you... when I didn't know anything.
I'm really sorry...
I'm the one who's awful. Not you.
[Optional Action]
[If he learned anything from Donald and Goofy, is that there are way more important things than being sad. People out there always need help. You can't move forward unless you put one foot in front of the other! Everything else just isn't that important.]
[That's why Sora's out and about in the city. Time to sweep away that heaviness in his chest aside. Having trouble carrying something? Sora'll be there. Need a hand at the restaurant during rush our? Sora's passing on by- he'd love to lend his. Can't seem to find your way through sketchier parts of the city? Sora's the escort for you. Whatever you're doing that needs helping, this stranger's willing to help. Accept it?]
