[There's someone who hasn't been around in a while, still on her exploring kick it seems. She's found a room that appears piled high with shelves upon shelves of comic books, and is indeed reading though a few with an interested expression. Upon closer inspection, all the comics are about different versions of people in here, some before the dressing room and some taking place in it.]

[well now, that is interesting. he doesn't say anything right away when he spots her, just pulling a book from a shelf and looking the cover over.]

...how'd you find this place?

[Looks up when he speaks, offering a polite smile.]

Exploring. I've been doing that for a while now.

[nods, returning the smile and slipping the comic back on the shelf.]

This is the first I've seen of it. Wonder how new it is.

Well, I haven't been down this hallway before, so I can't say. Still...

[Flips through one of the comic books.]

I wonder if people might be upset by something like this.

[the smile dies a bit and he nods.]

It's likely. I know I wouldn't want someone reading my life. There are some things in every person's past that are better left secret.

That's what I was thinking. It almost makes me feel bad for reading any of these, like I don't really have the right, you know?

[Frowns a little and places the book back on the shelf.]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I wonder if the room should be closed off or something.

[...he also wonders where his book is.]

[Perhaps under the 'K' section. They're even alphabetized~]

I don't think the room would let it stay that way. It likes to mess around with people too much.

True.

[sighs and starts wandering, indeed heading for the 'K' section.]

[There's not much between the K's and the N's, and that's where she's going.]

If you found your own comic, what would you do with it? Lock it away?

Maybe. At least keep it where kids couldn't get to it.

[....there it is. pulls it out gingerly, staring at the cover.]

[In traditional comic book style, the cover should have some kind of familiar situation from his past, insignificant or not.]

That's probably a smart idea. And if someone bad were to get a hold of it... they could use something like that as blackmail, even.

[shudders at the idea. and his cover looks... kind of not-cheerful.]

Figures one of the bad memories would be the front.

[Looks over at him, but not trying to look at the comic.]

It can't be completely full of bad memories though, can it?

No, but the last... year or so is pretty bad.

[flips through it casually, smiling faintly at the sight of little Sora and little Riku.]

[Frowns just a little.]

I'm sorry.

[She's still looking through the Namine comics, eventually coming upon one that looks like hers.]

[shrugs, continuing to flip through until he reaches that first bit of trouble. silly Heartless, thinking they could get his Heart.]

They're learning experiences.

That's a good way of looking at it.

[Flips through her own comic, letting out a quiet gasp when she reaches a certain part. He's not the only one with terrible past experiences.]

[looks over briefly at the gasp, flipping to see if even the worst parts are in here.]

Didn't expect to see something?

Something I had... forced myself to forget.

[Shudders and flips to a later point. She's like to never ever remember what Marluxia did to her in that castle.]

Not always the smartest idea, much as those things hurt.

[pauses on one particular page, tracing a finger over a speech bubble.]

There's no point in remembering a thing like that.

[At least there aren't too many bad things in here other than that.]

I suppose.

[he doesn't plan on forgetting the bad shit that's happened to him. closes the book with a sigh.]

[Continues reading her own for a while.]

So you're going to keep it then?

Yeah, might as well. I think I'd be screwed if Larxene ever found this thing.

[that's Larx-ihn, by the way, not Larx-ene.]
