...it's good. That he felt like he could ask us that, I guess. [...] It just feels sad that we have to do it because he's gone.

[eventually, she gets to... a plastic container! which she tugs out of the hole.]

[reconnective]

Better late than never, but...it still shouldn't have gone like this. You're right.

[he blinks in surprise.] Think that's it?

[dawnblushed]

I don't see anything else buried in here...

[she eases the lid off of it!



izumo's kimono is in there. it's folded up nicely.]

[reconnective]

...are you serious.

[dawnblushed]

...am I supposed to give this back to her, or...

[KANO WHY.]

[reconnective]

Um...[UM.] Do you think she'd want it back?

[dawnblushed]

...maybe? Unless she didn't want it, and that's why he had it in the first place?

[reconnective]

She might've thrown it away but I don't know if she meant to get rid of it entirely. Izumo's funny that way.

[dawnblushed]

Hmm... I guess I'll hold onto it until she says she wants it. Then I can give it back to her, but she doesn't have to deal with it if she doesn't want to.

[reconnective]

That's probably all we can do. I don't know why Kano wanted us to find it, but...Izumo seemed to take his death pretty hard. Maybe he thought it would help her to have it back.

[dawnblushed]

Maybe. It's really hard to understand what he was thinking... and it's not like I can ask him anymore.

[reconnective]

Yeah...[he frowns.] I'm going to ask one of the leaders if there's any way we can send messages or something to the people who've been removed. They can't be totally gone...can they?

[dawnblushed]

...

[um]

Are people not totally gone when they die where you come from, Sora?

[reconnective]

[...]

Not always, no. [britt kh3 is fucking wild.] Sometimes, if their heart is really strong, they can still exist. Sometimes they can even come back.

[dawnblushed]

...I didn't even think about that. Where I come from, once you're gone, you're gone.

[...]

Unless you get reincarnated, I guess, but that sort of thing is really, really rare.

[reconnective]

...how does it work in your world? Do you know?

[dawnblushed]

What, reincarnation?

[reconnective]

Yeah. It's probably different in other worlds, right?

[dawnblushed]

Maybe. I've never met anyone who's someone else's reincarnation, so I don't really know.

[...she brings a hand up and brushes some of her hair behind her ear.]

...supposedly I'm someone's reincarnation, but I don't feel any different from anyone else. I'm just me, you know?

[reconnective]

You? [he doesn't mean to sound so baffled by it, but that's not something he hears every day either.] You are just you. But...I dunno. Sometimes people like that have memories from who they were before.

Maybe there are still memories from the people who've been removed floating around here.

[dawnblushed]

I don't have anything like that... but the person I'm supposed to be the reincarnation of had hair that was just like mine. [A beat.] Or, I guess, I have hair that's just like his. Red hair is really rare in Kouka, so maybe that's why they think it.

[shrug emoji.]

...but, I guess it's possible. This Realm is different from where we came from, and memories are... weird, here, so it's not impossible.

[reconnective]

Maybe. [...granted, considering there's only two redheads in kingdom hearts and their origins are questionable maybe she's onto something.]

It's something we can ask at least. Any questions we can come up with about this Realm are worth checking into. Maybe we'll find out something else we didn't think of yet.

[dawnblushed]

I guess so, yeah. It would be nice if they weren't... gone.

[reconnective]

It would, wouldn't it. [he has hopes, but he's sure it's more complicated than that.]

If I hear anything about it, I'll let you know.

[dawnblushed]

Thank you. If I hear anything like that I'll let you know, too.
