[The post rolls for several moments with barely a sound coming from the room. Finally, there's a quiet, muffled groan, and the shift of bed springs can be heard. There's an even longer stretch of silence before Roxas' voice, sleepy, can be heard.]

...Riqis, why are you in my bed?

It's my bed, Roxas. ...And how long have you been awake? [Another shift of springs, and then a cry from both of them.] Roxas!

I'm fine. Just...woke up. Where-

The Sanctuary. You've been out for almost a week.

[There's another silence, and then a sigh.] Oh.

[The silence stretches on again, and then, suddenly, Riqis' voice is heard.] Hey, do my teeth look like they're going to fall out to you?

...What? [And then the post times out.]

We can't help but worry. With all the wacky stuff happening lately, it's kind of hard not to.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm okay, though.

...Did you- I mean...

Did you feel anything, when I passed out?

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

That's good.

... I don't know, really. It reminded me of things, but... I guess there's just this vague feeling of Deja vu.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Then you're not fully affected... Good.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... did something happen before with others that made you think that it might affect me?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

A long time ago, when another of me was here, when Sora died...he passed out. And when I died, Sora felt odd. I guess it only works on the Nobodies or something, when their Other is hurt.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... you died before?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Once, yeah. It was back in the summer.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... so you came back?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

This place does that. It brings people back...but you lose a memory of your home, or of people important to you.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... so the people who died lately...

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

They will come back, with a price.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... at least they're not gone forever.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Some of us don't exist in our worlds anymore, Ven.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... what?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Some people are dead in their world...or don't exist anymore, like the Nobodies. Technically, I don't exist either.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

... how can you not exist? You're right here, right? Is it just because you lack hearts?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

We don't exist because, in our world, we're dead. Or our shells were destroyed. Or...something. This world brings people from all over, dead or not, and brings them back to life.

[photoncharge.livejournal.com]

...that's still not justification to say you "don't exist". What matters is what's happening now, right? You're here, you have friends...You exist in your own way.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I know. I meant in the worlds we come from. What I'm saying is...some of us can go home, and others of us can't.
