► third sketch [Video]

Mm, I think that will do.

[The feed clicks on abruptly with a soft "toge!" People around Violet town will see an interesting sight. A bunch of locals, pokemon and one Nobody are gathered around one part of town, with boxes of decorations, lights, streamers, banners, and occasional lanterns and several other things for the festival. Naminé herself has an armful of posters in her arms, and she watches some of the locals stretch out the flag streamers they had worked on all morning, preparing to hoist them up. Everything seems to have a fall-theme to it, with warm oranges, bright yellows and reds.

Sky, Naminé's Pidgey, has an end of the flag streamer in one claw, and she flies off to one end, raising it to quite a height as she passes the feed. It might be a little early, but with so many things to be done, it's better if things got started.]

[ooc: action to anyone in Violet. They could use the help!]

[She walks over to her bag, gently tucking the sleeping baby Eevee in its blanket to the side. After some rummaging, she pulls out a sketchbook she bought from the pokemart, flipping through it and tearing out a page.

After hesitating a little, she handed it (http://imgur.com/AKQo5.png) to him. She's been working on this particular one very carefully.]

I--

[he holds the paper so gently in his hands, like he's afraid touching it too much would somehow ruin it. Naminé probably doesn't need her powers to sense how Sora's heart is squeezing when he looks at the drawing, and how much he misses Kairi.]

Naminé, this is...

[he can't even find the words for a few minutes.]

... It's like seeing a memory right on paper. I remember this... How'd you know?

[Naminé reckons she should at least tell Sora who she really is. She goes quiet before clasping her hands together, looking down.]

... I'm not sure if Roxas explained it yet, but...

Remember when you stabbed your heart to save Kairi?

[all too well, considering that's the last thing he remembers before arriving here. Sora nods, wondering where Naminé's going with this-- and how she knows.]

What about it?

You became a Heartless, right?

I... guess so.

[he actually has no idea; he never made it to Heartless stage.]

When a person loses their heart, not only do they become a Heartless, what's left of them becomes a Nobody, an empty shell.

Technically, when you stabbed your heart, Kairi's heart was in it. But she didn't had any Darkness in her heart, that's why she didn't became a Heartless. But she still had a Nobody.

[Sora had been told what a Nobody is, and how Roxas was his Nobody-- what was left of him when his heart was taken by darkness-- but...]

What? But... I don't understand.

[NONE OF US EITHER, SORA, BUT THAT'S HOW OUR CANON GOES.]

Which part?

[didn't Nomura and Ansem the Wise say that Naminé is technically Sora's flesh and soul-- have fun trying to explain to Sora how his body turned into a girl.]

I just... I just wanted Kairi to be okay. That's all.

[because he can't even think of how to ask his questions right now.]

And she is, Sora. Don't worry.

[that gets a small smile out of him.]

So... Kairi has a Nobody?

Mm.

[And no, it's not Xion. We don't get where Naminé got her hairstyle too, since it's longer than KH1!Kairi's short hair, so don't even ask, Sora.]

And her Nobody is...

[he tilts his head at Naminé incredulously. look, he's catching on! ... maybe.]

[She'll wait for his answer.]

... Oh.

[because how else would Naminé have been able to draw this? Unless, in a roundabout way, she was there, too?]

[Now she feels bad for telling him, and there's guilt painted all over her face. Salty senses this and immediately toddles over to her trainer's feet, prri-ing.]

[that guilty look rips him up inside, and he reaches up to place a hand on her arm-- he hesitates, though, unsure.]

But you... Can be your own person, right? You don't have to...

[merge? she wouldn't be like he and Roxas are, would she?]

In this world, mm. I can exist separately.

But I can't in our world. Kairi's incomplete without me. I was already merged with her before I came here.

... I'm sorry, Naminé.

[he made a mess that day, didn't he? and who knows where that friend he helped 10 years ago went.]

[he's sleeping in the the basement of the castle I was born in, Sora.]

You did what you had to do, Sora. And if you haven't done it, more people would have been in danger.

[sheesh, and I get called a lazy bum.]

Well, I-- I'd do it again in a heartbeat. [hurrr, excuse the pun. Sora doesn't even realize he's made it.]

I'm just sorry that so many other people got involved.

[he has the current record of twelve years of sleeping while you only got one. shame.

She cringes at that pun but tries to offer him a small smile. You got a lot of people involved the moment you were born, boy.]

I know. ... but, to tell you the truth, I'm actually glad I existed.

[if Nomura had his way, Sora would have been getting all up in people's business even before he was born. that gets a smile out of him, though.]

I guess your happiness is all I could ever really ask for, Naminé.

[how do you know, Diane. how. do. you. know.]

... well, I can't really feel happy, but I'll try.
