She had forgotten how many hours she had stood there over these past two years, just watching him sleep. How often she had sat on this floor, thousands of papers around her, physical representations of his old life. The life he was leaving her to go back to… at least that what she thought was going to happen. The silence had proved it, hadn’t it? However, the soft quiet was shattered today by the harsh resounding footsteps of black boots. The girl clad in white standing by the capsule did not move or turn. “You called for me?” the man’s deep voice was loud and rang throughout the white room. His stark black and scarlet outfit stood out against the cold white of the room and the pale girl's own colorless outfit. The girl didn’t turn, but placed her hand on the cold glass. “He’s waking up.” The footsteps stopped. Silence took back over as both man and girl stilled. “Isn’t a little early?” Scared blue eyes turned and stared up at him from under blonde fringe, “Far too early.” “Is that going to be a problem?” The girl turned back around, staring up at the sleeping boy. The silence continued. The man’s one visible amber eye narrowed. “Naminé?” “He’s taken over.” She barley whispered, “He’s putting his own memories back. Slowly, almost painfully, but he... he won't let me help.” “How is he doing this?” “I don’t know.” The girl sounded lost, confused. The man gave a dark chuckle, “Less work for you, I suppose?” More silence. The scarlet clad visitor began to get annoyed. “Naminé…” “I haven’t finished taking apart his-“ she paused, turning slightly. “My memories again… He’s putting his old memories back together before I finished taking apart the ones I created here! He’s trying to remember everything. He’s so worried about promises that now he’s trying to keep them all.” The blonde’s voice had risen till she was practically yelling. She shut her eyes tight, afraid of her own words. The man merely looked up, cocking his head in thought. “Is that so bad?” The girl looked abruptly lost, eyes wide with surprise. She sputtered a moment, holding both clenched hands to her chest, looking hurt. The scarlet man was silent a moment longer before he smiled, “Retaining all his memories… then it should be easier-“ “You don’t understand!” the blonde girl interrupted hotly, throwing her hands down. “His memories won’t all return. Those around him will still forget! There will be missing links!” “Missing links?” She nodded, still looking hurt. Her voice was noticablly softer. “There isn’t enough room in his heart for both of them. When he rejected my help in taking apart my memories, his heart has tried to meld them together.” He voice slowly lost it energy as she spoke, and her eyes softened as she looked back up at the sleeping boy. “By keeping mine, he’s elected to lose others.” “Lose?” The man’s voice sounded worried, “Naminé, which ones will he lose?!” She turned away, shaking her head, “I don’t know. I don’t.” "What do you mean?" "He keeps saying he made promise. He won't let himself forget. No matter how many time I push him away but he won't let me go." "Or perhaps you don't have as much control over his memories as you once believed." The words send confusion across the girl's face. The Scarlet Man didn't elaborate but instead stared up at the clear case once more, through the smoky mist, to the boy floating inside. A faint smile graced the child’s lips, as if he knew a secret they didn’t. The Man made a small noise of discontentment before turning sharply on the ball of his foot and started walking back. “There’s more.” The man started at the girl’s quiet words, and paused. He cocked his head backward as she continued, “Kairi still doesn’t remember him. Now there are just broken memories with a forgotten face. There’s such a hole inside her and she doesn’t know what to do. I think she's losing her light.” “You've suspected that for a while. We’ve already taken care of that…” “We don’t know if he’ll fill the hole." The girl's hands rested where her own heart should be, "I know he volunteered, to set things right, but I know… it won’t work.” The girl shook her head. “How do you know that?” “Because I wouldn’t forget him- wouldn’t replace him.” She whispered so softly, it was almost overcome by the gentle hum of the case in front of her. “I should have gone instead.” “It’s too risky, Naminé.” The man’s voice was final, “We are not yet sure what being in contact with Kairi will do to you.” “I don’t care.” Her voiced sounded bitter, she put a hand on the glass case again, “It was my fault everything was so messed up and I tried to fix everything but everything has just… just got worse.” She gently laid her forehead against the glass. The man stared down at the girl, back not half as rigid as “There’s something you’re not telling me.” Another moment’s pause and she sighed. “Roxas’ memories are interfering.” “Roxas? His memories of Twilight-“ “No. The ones he’s making now…” “Sora can see those?” “Yes.” "I see. Then perhaps we should not have..." His voice faded. He sighed, “What do you suggested we do then?” The girl barley turned to look at him. There was a distinct pause, which was dramatic and tense even if she didn’t mean it to be. Finally she answered in a small and tentative voice. “Send Riku for the King.” The Scarlet Man narrowed his eyes. The girl stumbled over her next words in an effort to continue. “Have the King come! He’ll know-“ “What are our other choices?” Her eyes grew hard. “There are no other choices.” “Don’t lie to me, Naminé. There are always other choices.” The girl faltered. She twisted her hands around themselves in despreate attempt to think. “Send…" He voice faded before she lifted in her head, eyes absolute, "Send for Riku. Maybe… maybe he can help.” “Very well…” The man turned again but paused. He seemed wrapped up in his own thoughts, his own broken plans and ideas before he sighed, “What has happened, Naminé?” “Memories are unpredictable.” An ironic chuckle that started small then grew until it was a full out laugh. “Much like hearts I suppose. I thought I had learned all there was. Unpredictable, are they?” “This is why they shouldn’t be messed with.” She spoke with the air of someone who has learned a mistake before, only to make it agian. He made a small noise of agreement, “Do what you have to do.” Then the sound of his boots hitting the floor echoed across the room. Finally, complete silence once again. It ate up time and space, until it was broken by the dull drips of tears on the circular green designs of the floor. “Even if you take apart the chain of memories in my heart the links are still there, right Sora?” She laid her head back against the glass orb. “Why couldn’t you just leave them alone? I don’t want to have to-” She put her hands up by her head, letting her wieght sag against it. (I’ll come back you after I wake up-) More silent tears hit the floor. “I’m sorry, Sora…” ________________ I love Comments, but I love it even more when you're truthful. :nod:
