[ It's been a rough couple of days for this gal, but she's decided there's no use hiding any longer, as she kind of needs to eat. Aside from the yellow eyes that she's more or less gotten used to, her hair... seems to be turning black at the roots. There's not too much there yet, thankfully, but it's got her worrying and wondering how long she has left as a Kairi. She knows the darkness she absorbed for her mission has eaten away a good deal of the light inside her by now, at least... ]

[... Black roots. Well, considering what he saw earlier, there's no doubt in his mind that this is her.]

Kairi...

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

...hi, Ven.

[ She can't bring herself to look at him, rubbing her arm and staring at the floor. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

You okay?

[He hesitates for a moment before approaching her.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ That surprises her, honestly, and she takes a step back almost automatically. ]

Could be better.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

... Wanna talk about it?

[Well, even with what he knows...she's his friend! So he's gonna stop right next to her, a-yup.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Ven... what do you think of me now?

[ She's hesitant to ask, but she really wants to know, even if she ends up not liking the answer. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Hm. He stays quiet for a moment, truly thinking this over.]

Well... It's kinda weird, but it doesn't bother me. You're still Kairi, not to mention one of my best friends here. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it really doesn't matter to me. You're you, and that's what counts.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Kairi smiles softly at that, though she still looks pretty sad. ]

What happens when I'm not me anymore? It's already happening.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

... I'll still be your friend. But what d'you mean, Kairi? Are you...?

[Turning into him?]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

...for some reason, in my world, there was... a problem in time, that was going to keep Vanitas from being created properly. If it didn't happen, everything we knew would change. Sora and Riku were so busy keeping all the worlds safe, so I volunteered to go back and... be the base for his creation.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...And he can't even imagine what that's like. Oh, Kairi.]

So you did it to save everyone... I don't blame you.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ She puts a hand over her heart, still looking down. ]

I won't see them again, but I'm glad I can help them.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. Same here.

[He sighs.]

Unless I can find some way to fix everything, well... something's going to happen to me too.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I know.

[ She takes a breath that's almost a sob. ]

I know. It's going to be my fault, in my world.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

No, it won't be your fault. You're just doing what's right. It's what's supposed to happen, you know?

[Even so, he sounds incredibly sad...]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I wish it wasn't. I wish I hadn't come to this stupid place, I wish I could've just- just stayed and turned into him like I'm supposed to, without getting close to anyone.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

How can you say that? I know I shouldn't talk like I know-- I can't even imagine what it's like. But, Kairi... just pushing people away won't do any good.

[... Hm.]

I wish I could help somehow.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

You can't. This needs to happen. What good is making more friends when I'm just going to turn into Vanitas and end up dying? And... it's not going to just be in appearance. That's what I mean.

SPOILER

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

What good is making more friends when

It's about making the most of what you have. As long as we're here, we might as well enjoy it.

[Another pause.]

Besides, there's this guy... Maybe he could help both of us.

no u

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Ven, stop that, she's going to cry. She's about to comment on what he's said until the last part, which makes her pause. ]

Who?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

This... guy who can see the future. I don't remember his name, but he's got these friends, and he said that they could fix my future so everything turns out okay. Maybe he can do the same for you!

... I just don't want to see you upset like this. It's not fair that you have to deal with all of that, even if you have to.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Ven... "okay" doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the same. I don't want to wipe out the people I know... because they wouldn't be the people I know, if things changed.

I volunteered to deal with this. It's hard, but it was my choice, and I'm going to see it through, no matter how much it upsets me.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...Touche. That gets another pause out of him.]

... You've got a point. I guess it's kinda risky. I just---

[His friends. He doesn't want them to suffer all because of him. That's why he wants this help out of the faint hope that it'll set things right.]

It might not be for a while. Some people've been here for a really long time.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Silly Ven, KH is too tragic for you to ever have a happy ending. Maybe you'll get lucky in KH3. ]

We're not from the same world. You should definitely see if that man can help you. Just make sure you be careful, alright?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I will, but it's still not fair. You don't deserve this!

[Grmmph. He doesn't like this tragic stuff. Kid wants to save his friends, darn it Still, look at him talking about making the most of it and...totally getting upset. Sigh.]

Maybe we both could use a distraction.
