Yes, I'm back. No, I didn't die. I didn't leave the city. It doesn't matter now, but if anyone could tell me what all happened these past few days...other than those dark monsters...I'd be grateful

It's like I told you, before those monsters you didn't miss much. Just me and Prince, looking around for you and Yuffie.

Are you gonna tell me now, or what? What did Marluxia want with you, anyway?

She did decide on Solstice Day? I thought she was still thinking about- um, well...if you're going to see her today, can you do me a big favor?

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

Yeah, but you don't read half of the posts people make.

Marluxia? What are you talking about? What does any of that have to do with Marluxia?

She told me she liked it. If she changed it, I'll just give her gift to her on Christmas. So long as no gods mess it up.

...Sure, what?

[Private]

[myownmemory]

Hey, I read the important ones! Most of the ones I can see! Unless it's people talking to certain friends, or being ridiculous. I can't just nose over what everybody says everywhere! I've got work to do like getting wood and checking the rambit traps and stuff- Oh! Oh by the way. They've gotten nastier.

Wait...Marluxia took you to the castle, right?

My first Christmas...Did you see that note on the board? I don't know who put it up, but it's a big list asking for what things you want.

Can you bring her something from me? And don't tell her it is, unless she guesses.

[onlytwilight]

But the ones you look at aren't the same as the ones I do. And I'm not nosy!

No. Who said that?

Oh, really? Maybe I'll look at it. I'm not sure what I'd even want.

Riqis, you're going to have to see her, sooner or later. That, or you...I don't know. You can't avoid her forever.

It's her birthday today?

That's all right. What is it? What happened?

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

I told her she should find a birthday for herself, and we talked about the solstice days.

Well, first... I took some papers from the Castle months back. I got caught with them last week. They were notes from Xemnas about hearts.

[Hoo boy how to say this.]

...Where are you?

[Private]

[todomarishi]

No one told me that... I don't think. I'll have to find something for her.

You stole from the abomination?

... On the floor?

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

You could always make her something.

Yeah, when he left some months back. I thought he had something and I was right.

[Um...] Is everything okay with you? You're not...hurt or anything, right?

[wishgazer]

Nothing else happened. Only the darkness and the creatures roaming around. It's a good thing you weren't around to see them.

It's Naminé's birthday?

[onlytwilight]

Why was that a good thing? I could have helped.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

[wishgazer]

You may not have wanted to see what we saw.

[onlytwilight]

I still would have rather seen it and been there for my friends.

[coy_smile]

Of course you wouldn't. I'm all ears.

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

Welcome back to the city. I'm guessing you've already been seen by Wesker and Alexia?

[Private]

[coy_smile]

I wouldn't say seen, but they know I'm here.

i hate to say it, but it seems I'm at something of a disadvantage. It's been... I don't remember things here as clearly as I'd like.

What happened that you were missing?

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

How long has it been since you've been here for you?

It's long and ridiculous.

[onlytwilight]

And you're not just a year older. Kairi was fourteen when she lost her heart, you existed for a year, and now this is the second one. So now you're sixteen.

[onlytwilight]

I guess you could say that, yeah.
