So it's kinda coo'. Been hearin' people comin' back an' all. Phones got his butt back in Luceti so now I get ta' punch him wheneva' I want.

But uh.........

......

Been lotsa people goin' home, too. Guess that's coo' too, but...... Well.... I've been thinkin' yanno?

......

....What do people do when they get forgot? I-I mean, peeps from Luceti don't remember this place, right? ....So what'dya do then? When you get forgot?

......


...Nngh, naw, forget it. This is dumb. This is why I ain't suppose to think.

[he flips the book against the bed and flops onto it with a heavy sigh]

[skaterbrain]

....You think so?

I mean, about the heart thing. We just gotta remember them and they figure it out someday?

[fourteen]

... that's what I believe. Even if you think you forget someone... they're still in your heart. That's what's most important. The memories are still there... locked up, somewhere deep inside. All you have to do is unlock them... someday.

[skaterbrain]

Someday, huh.....

[He wonders. Neku and Shiki say they win, but does that mean Rhyme gets her memories back? Or...]

....I hope so. Thanks.

You n' I never talked before, have we? I found out I've been forgettin' lots too so, uh...sorry, if I forgot. I guess.

[fourteen]

... you're welcome.

[ ... it feels nice to be the one giving the pep talk, for once. She smiles. ]

No, it's okay. I don't think we have. My name is Xion. What's yours?

[skaterbrain]

Sup, Z. Name's Beat. Glad to know I didn't forget someone finally. Man, it really sucks to be known without knowi--

....

[oops]

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, so how long you been here?

[fourteen]

... Z? [ Blinking. ]

Hehe, um... promise you won't freak out if I tell you?

[skaterbrain]

Naw, won't freak. Can't be really freaked out when you wake up wit' yellow wings, yo.

[fourteen]

Okay. I've been here for almost three years now.

[skaterbrain]

....whoa. Can people stay here that long?

I mean... I guess, Shiki has, but...whoa.

[fourteen]

Yeah... it's strange sometimes. I've been here so long, it's almost like... [ ... ] It's silly. But it's not so bad... I've made so many friends here! And done so many amazing things. There can be good things about it, too.

[skaterbrain]

That's a good way to look at it, yeah. Guess you can do a lotta things in that time, huh? You learn anythin' new here?

[fourteen]

I've learned so much! [ She brightens considerably. ] I've been studying medicine and healing for a long time, and I work at the clinic... I've learned martial arts, too! I learned so many things here I could never learn back home.

[skaterbrain]

So...did you find new dreams here, too? 'Cause all that stuff sounds pretty cool, ya know?

[fourteen]

New dreams...

[ She considers, thoughtfully. ]

... I don't think I really had dreams before I came here. There was one thing... but it wasn't possible.

But being here changed everything. For a long time, I got to live my dream, like I always wanted... and I found new dreams, too. New things I wanted to do, and try... I made so many new friends and discovered so many things. For all the bad things that happen... this place has given me so much.

[skaterbrain]

....Hey, can you help me make one of those locked thingies so we can talk?
