[Xion won't be incorrect in her guess at the beach, but it isn't the memory of that cottage, all too distant and foreign to him all at once, that guides Jack there. Rather, it's an entirely different beacon altogether.

You can come here, if you can make it.How long has it been? He was afforded no sense of time in that laboratory; all his memories of the place are blurred together into one long nightmare, and only the pain in his arms assures him that it had been real

[Something in her chest skips a beat when she sees him.

He's here. Thank goodness.]

Jack!

[Xion calls out, waves, runs towards him. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. I'm so relieved.

When she gets closer: He doesn't look so good.

That same thing in her chest squeezes. Please... Please, be okay.]

oh goodness

[Jack starts upon hearing her call his name, and instantly snaps around to see her.

Xion.

But his throat won't make a sound.

What had she said to him? "It's all gonna be okay-" Something like that, yes. But he'd been caught in the end, hadn't he? Caught and dragged to the cell and then the laboratory where the scientists were waiting...

He quickly shakes his head - no, she must have meant now. He was out of that place; it was behind him now. His arms still hurt, but now, it was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare...]

[At his reaction -- such a sharp turn, then, the shaking of his head -- she slows earlier than she normally would have. What...? What was that? Why did he shake his head?]

Jack... Is everything okay?
