♔ day 1 ♔
[There’s a long pause and some hesitant breathing before a teenage boy speaks. Maybe he’s too confused to speak at first. Maybe he knows he’s not supposed to interact with people in other worlds. Maybe he’s just really shy.]
I’m not supposed to be here. I have to get back or I’m going to be in trouble. I’m probably going to be in trouble anyway.
Can someone tell me what this wo—what this place is called? ...please.

Confusion is bad. And he'd really rather be back at the tower having ice cream with his friends or even just napping back at the castle. Hello, frustrations.]
What? How would you know? Who are you?

Somehow he's worried he won't get there in time, but then he's gotta wonder: in time for what? All he knows for sure is that he doesn't want Xemnas playing his weird games here too, but how does he explain that to someone who doesn't even know him?
And moreover, to someone Sora himself doesn't even know, not really. It's all half-glimpses and feelings and nothing concrete... ]

Uh, sorry. I know it's weird. I guess I should've started with that.
[ except he thought you knew him, but then, there is that wonky business of TIME and stuff ... ffff ]

[ pause ]
You're in a place called 'The City'....and it's sort of like...uh...[ a hmmmm sound ] ...if you think about all the different worlds and kind of mashed them together---no not really, but if you had a bunch of people from each one meet up. That's the kind of place this is.

I'm from the future.
[ Yeah, because THAT'S going to go over really well..../derp ]

I promise, I wouldn't lie to you.
[ Though he doesn't entirely understand still how Roxas is a part of him, how everything is connected, how unlike the others Roxas does not, or did not fade but simply rejoined with him, Sora does understand it's important to try to protect him. This is not the Roxas he fought with and this is not the Roxas who finally reconnected. But it's still Roxas, and that can't be overlooked. ]

But if what this person is saying is true, then that means Axel and Xion are dangerous too, or lying to him, or just not safe...and he knows that's not true.]
You don't.

Stay away from me.
