[She hears the explanation, but her forehead creases slightly in confusion all the same.]

What do you mean?

[whitewalls]

... I wasn't born normally. I came from another person, when she lost her heart. I'm not human, I'm something called a Nobody.

[ she has no idea what axel told emma, so she'll wait to see how she reacts. ]

[foodbin]

[She can't really claim to understand that at all, but—]

That's a stupid name for someone like you.

[whitewalls]

... thanks. I didn't come up with it.

But it's because we weren't really meant to exist.

[foodbin]

And who told you that, exactly?

[whitewalls]

That's... just how it is. A nobody is created when someone loses their heart. If that never happened, we wouldn't be born.

[foodbin]

...Even if it happened because of something like that, I don't think it's fair for anyone to say it shouldn't have happened, or that you shouldn't be around.

[whitewalls]

Maybe...

[ she agrees, but she didn't name them. ]

Kairi is the person I was created from. When I altered Sora's memories, she's the person I replaced in them.

[foodbin]

[With a tilt of her head:]

Do you feel bad about it? It doesn't seem like you had much choice in the matter.

[whitewalls]

... a lot of what I've done after is to make up for it.

[foodbin]

Right... I remember you said you made sure to fix his memories.

[whitewalls]

Mmhm. It took about a year to finish.

[ it was a Long year. ]

[foodbin]

And... What happened after that?

[whitewalls]

[ ... ]

I reunited with Kairi. We became a whole person again.

[foodbin]

[ah.]

...What does that mean?

[From the rising expression of alarm on her face, it seems like she already has a guess, but.]

[whitewalls]

... I was born from her, so once I completed my mission, I returned to her heart. I don't exist as you see me anymore.

[ it's why, on their first day here, she was asking people if they could see her. she was surprised at having a physical body again. ]

[foodbin]

But that's...

[It's not difficult to see the way she struggles with that, her frown growing.]

Is there any way to undo something like that?

[whitewalls]

... there might be. Axel is ahead of me time-wise, and he told me that they're trying to get me back.

[ ... ]

Even if they don't manage it, it's a nice thought. I'm surprised they remembered me.

[foodbin]

[The sound she makes is almost a laugh, but it’s surprised and sad.]

Of course they would remember you.

[whitewalls]

... there's a couple of people they needed to get back. Admittedly, I'm the lowest priority because I can't help them in the way that the others can. And my bonds with them aren't as strong with them in comparison as well.

If they can somehow safely separate me from Kairi without harming her, I'll appreciate it. But I know that rescuing everyone else is more important.

[foodbin]

...Your life isn’t any less important because you don’t know them as well, or because you don’t have the same abilities. Just keep that in mind.

[whitewalls]

... thanks.

[ she smiles. ]

It's why that... even though there are so many terrible things about being here, I didn't mind it as much as I would have otherwise. It's nice being able to do things.

[foodbin]

[It still hurts to know, but... There’s a small smile all the same.]

I hope you’ll get the chance to do a lot more of that, here and back home.

[whitewalls]

.... yeah.

You've been helping with that.

[foodbin]

...Well, good. I bet I'm not the only one, though. You've been having fun in the gateways, right?
