It's possible. After all, it was able to simulate snow on a tropical island.

That's true. Artificial intelligence is a little more of a step up, though. How would it do that?

Hm, is it any more difficult than creating realistic sensations? In a way, it's all an illusion.

That's true. I guess it's not, really. Well, in that case, let's just go see what all we can do.

[smiling, and then walking over to the door to hold it open; some habits are retained even after changing gender]

[something about that just makes ~~her~~ him laugh, but he nods and walks through anyway, stopping to wait.]

[and...she walks inside, closing the door, and than heading over to the control panel. After doing so, she shoots a glance towards--- him]

Shall we begin?

[follows, of course, stopping beside her and looking over the panel, then nodding.]

Go for it.

[typing a few things and then....stops]

What would you like to see as far as environment goes?

I don't care. You can make it anything, or just leave it as it is.

[shrugs; he's got something else on his mind.]

Um... Hey. I need to tell you something.

Well, if you're sure.

[a few more keystrokes, and--- pauses again]

What is it, Kairi?

[pauses as well, thinking.]

The other day I talked to another Ienzo. Well, I've talked to a younger one before, but this one was different. He was... you. Or, he was your future self.

You know, that's quite the coincidence... I spoke to the future version of you as well.

Though, what did... 'he' say?

--wait, you did? A future me? What did she say?

Well, evidently the two of us remain here, and the population has grown... as have the amount of heartless. She also... called me 'handsome'.

[okay, his lips are twitching into a small grin.]

That's what he told me. About the heartless, and us being here. And... I have to agree with her.

[totally looking the other way now, not planning to reveal what else he said.]

[...red. Again.]

T-thank you... But, ah, was there anything else he mentioned? Anything that your older self may have omitted?

[kind of finds that adorable, but will go easy on Ienzo right now. He shakes his head.]

No, not really. We talked about the heartless, and how this place grows so much, and... well, I asked about me, but that was pretty much it. It was interesting.

Well, what did he say about you?

... He said I was still tanking, and an 'admirable individual', and... he also said I was beautiful.

[my, that ceiling is fascinating.]

Well...you are...

[yeah...glancing at the keyboard]

[--surprised by that response, glancing back now.]

... Thank you.

...You're welcome. As I've said before...I wouldn't say it if it weren't true.

[well now he's red, too, and kind of at a loss for words.]

I know, it just... Hmm. Thank you.

Kairi... is there something wrong?
