[Filtered from Riku, 'Joe', Roxas, and Namine.]
[Filtered from Riku because, well, it's about him. Filtered from her other roommates in order not to cause discord in the ranks, the current apartment is too small for disharmony to move in. Kairi is wearing a rather cute housekeeping outfit, sitting in a small room with lockers behind her, a lunch box filled with barely touched food next to her.]
How do you start over?
I thought things could go back to the way they once were, but now I see that was just a naive dream. I didn't realize so much could change within a year, but just because I stayed stagnant doesn't mean everything else did. Of course, I'm sure no one could be prepared to suddenly pop up in a place such as this, but I was even less prepared for him to be here. I used to daydream of all the things I would say whenever I was reunited with them again, however that was because I was too childish to realize that when someone goes away and you're finally reunited with them after a while, you can't just continue where you left off like you've only been separated since yesterday.

A year is a lot longer than I thought it was.
It's easy to talk to him about the little things. But most of the time, I'm not sure what to say or how to act. Would he be disappointed that I haven't changed? Everything's different now... but I don't know how to keep up with that difference.
