[ Someone seems to be wandering through the halls, a less-than-pleasant expression on his face today. What's more, a strange song seems to follow him wherever he goes, albeit in flute as opposed to piano.

After his encounter with the Nobody Kairi in the kitchen he's been feeling a mix of frustration and guilt. But why? Even if she was a Kairi, she was nothing like his. No, she was one of them... those strange Nobodies in the castle, and she'd already tried to mess with his feelings and try to hurt him. Even tried to antagonize him in the kitchen. She more than deserved it...right? And it's not like she could feel--

He shakes his head. Who was he kidding? He'd only just learned about Nobodies, and an existence without a heart was hardly something he could imagine. In truth, he was in no position to talk. ]

[Guess who, 'ku? Someone's standing against a wall nearby, her hood up. But it's obviously her. Nobodies don't tend to stand in a way that looks... down, all that often.]

[ ... Oh. He stops at the sight of her. This...isn't good. ]

[She doesn't respond to him. She's ignoring you.]

[ Way to guilt him some more. 8C ]

Kairi.

[She doesn't move... in a positive way, at least. She turns her head away a bit.]

So I do exist.

[ ... Oh. Definitely not a good sign. ]

Guess you do, huh...

[Silent now.]

[ Goes silent as well, for a while... It's all so eerie. The way she was acting before, and now... ]

Surprised you haven't fought back, especially after what I said.

Does it matter? In the end, I'm just another 'empty shell'. [Her tone of voice is so blank it's spooky.]

Funny. You had no problem pointing out my flaws... Now you know what it's like to be on the other end.

[ ...That is creepy. And at that he sighs. ]

When I pointed it out, what did you do? [Think real hard. Not get angry, but what else?]

Defended myself, but that sure didn't stop you from doing it.

You had legitimate points. You can change. You can grow. [She lifts her head to look at him blankly through the shadows falling on her face under the hood.]

Do you think I can?

Only if you want to.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

No. [She pushes away from the wall.] And do you have any idea why I can't? [she steps toward him until she's right in front of him, raising one hand and putting it on the center of his chest.]

I can't change the fact that when I look at my best friend, it's the same as if I were to look at my worst enemy.

[ ... No heart. Of course. ]

I wouldn't know, so I guess I'm not one to talk.

[Shakes her head, and when she's finally got a look on her face, it's more disgusted than anything, here eyes narrowing.]

[However, it's fleeting, and it fades back to nothing. as she steps backwards away from him. Her hands go out to the sides a bit, and she shrugs.]

But look at it this way. [And here is the most melancholy smile she's ever given.]

You're lucky. In the end, you get to go home. And me? I get to waste away like the rest of them. There's no place for 'empty shells' in a world full of light.

[ He looks away, but doesn't move. This is too much. ]

And what did you even do to waste away?

Got killed for fighting for my right to get my heart back. [laces her fingers behind her back.]

Go figure.

[ He shakes his head. ]

How, exactly, were you fighting for that right, then?

Following direct orders from my Superior. They sent me to fight the Keyblade Master.

Fight and destroy him?

[ ...Tenses up a bit. ]

[ Oh, hello random Kairi. He'll glance back. ]

[Hmm... Looks like she's considering whether to actually talk to him. But she seems to decide against it, and glances a little longer before walking again.]
