That sounds scary enough to go through even without this.

[He reaches over to take her hand and lace his fingers through hers.]

But, I can tell you... I think it only happens to people who go down to the festival?

And even when I looked like someone else, I was still me. Chie was still her. We just looked different.

... But you're real people. I'm not.

[She laces her fingers through his, squeezing tightly. She wants nothing more than to be real. She knows, on some level, she is. She is real, she isn't Sora. She's Xion. She's her own person...

... But the fear doesn't go away so easily.]

I was made from Sora's memories. Those are still in me, sort of. All my memories are of being a boy, even though I just want to be me. I'm scared of waking up, and everyone's forgotten me again, and I'm just- I'm just Sora again.

[His hand squeezes back, gentle but insistent.]

I'm not going to forget you. I understand why you'd be scared. But if you want, I'll keep checking in with you through the festival, and let you know I know who you are.

[She nods, her hand tightly holding his, like she's afraid he might vanish... Or like she's afraid she might.]

... You're not weirded out or anything?

I summon spirits from the sea of the unconscious that shoot fire or make my skin unbreakable. It's a little hard for me to know what's weird, these days.

...

You what from the what that do what?

[She's not weirded out, so much as just... genuinely uncomprehending.]

There are beings called Personas that have magic powers, and I can summon them to help me.

Most people where I'm from can't do that.

[THIS WASN'T A CONTEST, SOUJI]

I see... I, um, don't really understand it, but it sounds pretty cool...

Sometimes I don't understand it either.

I just wanted you to know I wouldn't get weirded out.

I'm glad...

Wait, are Personas like genies? I know about Genie!

I don't know much about genies.

[So he's not sure.]

He, um... He's big and blue and grants wishes?

I've had Personas that are big and blue, but so far none of them have granted wishes.

But you summon them and they help you, right?

That's right. But they're... a part of me. And a part of everyone.

Part of everyone? What do you mean?

Personas come from the 'sea of the unconscious' ... which I think means, the connections and ideas that link us all together, even if we can't see them.

'Sea of the unconscious'...

I wonder, if that's like the chains of memories?

Tell me about them?

I don't really understand them myself. Namine is the one who knows most, but... It's how people's memories connect them to each other. And how... If you break those chains, then no one can remember that person anymore.

That's -

That's really frightening, actually.

[He sounds sobered just by the idea.]

But... it sounds at least a little similar.

... It is.

[ha ha. ha.]

I was made... from the chains of Sora's memories. So to return those memories to Sora, I had to be...

[She trails off.]

...I understand.

But you're here now.

Yeah.

[She pauses, shaking her head.]

I don't even understand it myself... There was some, sort of... Crossing time, and...

[KINGDOM HEARTS IS BULLSHIT.]

But I'm here now.

Time's a little strange for people who came from my world as well.

But, either way... I'm really glad you're here.
