[Ring ring! You there, buddy?]

[walkthedawn]

Hello?

[lockandkeyblade]

Hey Riku. It's Sora... You got a sec?

[walkthedawn]

Sure, what's up?

[lockandkeyblade]

Did anything really weird happen to you when you first got into Siren's Port?

[walkthedawn]

...Like what, specifically?

[lockandkeyblade]

Remember the night I first got here?

Well, after you left, somebody started sending me these really weird messages.

[walkthedawn]

...Do you know who it was?

[lockandkeyblade]

[He shakes his head.] Never said his name. Just said that he knew me since I was little.

He came to the apartments to find me and... at first I thought he was you.

[walkthedawn]

[It slides into place almost immediately for him.]

The black suit and helmet, right? His name is Vanitas. He sounds like you.

[lockandkeyblade]

Yeah.

And actually... he said he was me.

[walkthedawn]

[Riku's glad Sora can't see him. His face darkens in anger.]

What proof does he have?

[lockandkeyblade]

He did talk about Destiny Islands...

But he could'a gotten that from one of you guys, right?

[walkthedawn]

He's from ten years ago. If he's been to Destiny Islands, then he wasn't anywhere where we could see him.

[lockandkeyblade]

[So he's from the past too. Like Aqua and Ven...]

You don't think this guy is for real. Do you?

[walkthedawn]

I don't think he's you. I haven't been able to find an explanation but that doesn't mean he's telling the truth.

[Sora isn't cruel.]
