ⅹⅹ- [voice]

[mnementomori]

[a soft voice that might be familiar to some speaks up after a moment, a tinge of weariness in it.]

A lot of people...left again. I want people to be happy at home, but...


What...do you do when...your memories start to fade? I don't want to lose them forever.

Comments

[mnementomori]

Yeah.

Are you alone here?

[mother_of_god]

I was alone a lot. One of me.

People are nice here.

But I'm still sad because of people that had to go away.

I think I'm the one that went away.

But I want to stay here.

[Alessa's status: It's Complicated]

What about you?

[mnementomori]

One of you?

I want to stay here, too. Well, I don't think I can go back.

I love my friends here, but I miss my friends from home. They were here a long time ago, but they left.

[mother_of_god]

I had to be two people. Then I got back together. It [pause] is hard to figure things out.

Maybe your friends will come back again.

I miss my friends from home, too.

Maybe one wasn't my friend. But she was kind to me and I loved her.

[mnementomori]

That sounds...familiar. Are you

[there's a good five second pause before more words appear.]

If you loved her then she was definitely your friend.

[mother_of_god]

Familiar?

[She pauses, then adds a shaky question]

Are you from the Order?

[mnementomori]

Order? I've never heard of it.

I just mean the being two people part. Someone I know

[a pause here.]

It happened to them. But everything's okay now.

[she hopes.]

[mother_of_god]

[This is very interesting indeed!]

Who are you?

[mnementomori]

I'm Xion.

[mother_of_god]

Are you an angel? Or a god?

[mnementomori]

I don't know about those things. I'm just me.

[mother_of_god]

I think you are OK, then.

My name is Alessa.

Who was your friend that was two people?

[mnementomori]

Nice to meet you, Alessa.

Her name is Sora. I live with her here. Back home her...other self, Roxas, was my best friend.

[mother_of_god]

She's here? Maybe I can talk to her.
Is she a witch?

[mnementomori]

Yeah, sure. You can talk to her if you want.

No, but I've been teaching her magic since our real teacher left.

[mother_of_god]

How did she split herself, then?

[mnementomori]

She did it...to save her friend. [she wonders how much she can say, should say.]

She was keeping her friend safe in her heart, but she had to let her out eventually.

When your heart leaves, your body becomes another person.

[mother_of_god]

That is what I did, too. I didn't think someone without powers could do it.

[mnementomori]

Really? So you mean you have a Nobody, too?

She has powers, but they're not exactly the same as a witch, that's all. She's a hero who helps people.

[mother_of_god]

She wasn't nobody she was Cheryl. She came back, but I gave Daddy a new Cheryl.

I hope he is happy again.

[mnementomori]

I'm sure he is, then. If you did your best.
