How is it possible the universe ceases to exist? It was there moments ago! How could it be gone in a matter of minutes? Who are you to claim you know what has happened to such a vast world? Who are you to put it back together? Do you honestly hold such power? Can one lord hold so much power

[It's strange to Riku, trying to be supportive of somebody he barely knows. But he feels like she needs it right now, and for that reason, he'll try.]
Where I came from, it was the strength of your heart that kept you from disappearing along with your world. Not the whim of any one person.
And...
[Aara won't know how Riku hesitates here, how he stares at the page trying to decide if he should say or no--the written word, for better or for worse, doesn't reflect that.]
Yeah, it's possible that one person can save all the worlds.

Thank you... [Aara's voice is soft.]
The ocean? [A soft rumble can be heard, a seeming hum of appreciation mixed with something almost like a purr.] I would love to see the ocean. Is it as big as people say it is?
What was growing up with Riku like? Did you grow up with Sora, too?

I really miss it.
Riku... Heh, we used to play together all the time. He was the leader. If there we went on an adventure or there was a new game, it was Riku's idea. He could have got us in a lot of trouble.
[And yet there was nothing but affection in her tone.]

I'm sorry.
[And now she's laughing lightly at this.] Really? [Her voice sparks with amusement.] What kind of trouble? [Oh, look Riku, Kairi and Aara are trading sisterly secrets about your childhood~]

We had so much fun that day, but we could have been hurt or caught in a current. And if our parents had found out...
Well, they wouldn't have been happy.
[She laughs.]

[Laughs with Kairi.] I'm glad you were all safe. Is the water so dangerous?
Riku sounds like many of the boys of my...old clan. [She catchers herself there, then suddenly feels such sorrow at the reminder of a clan that was no longer hers.]

[As long as you stay within your depth and don't get caught in currents... And it's not storming.
Kairi doesn't miss the emphasis there.]
Your old clan?
Reply
[There is a bit of a hesitance here as Aara attempts to find the right words.]
Yes. Sometimes I forget the clan is...no longer my own. It is all I have known. All I remember.
I left...

We all left.
[To come here. Kairi has clearly misunderstood.]
That doesn't mean they're not your family.

If only that were so.
I am a foundling. While a few of my clan are like family...they are not mine.

I was not born of my village. There isn't anyone in the clan who shares my blood. I was found. Lord Kanan was the one to find and rescue me. He healed me when I was sick and weak, and gave me a place to stay.
[But it is not mine. How desperately she yearns to admit it out loud. She holds the words in as if they are bile on her tongue. She started over. She was starting over.]
Reply
[Why does that matter?]
Well, so was I. That doesn't mean it wasn't your home.

You are also a foundling? [There is quiet awe in her voice.]
Home...
[Oh how desperately she wanted Shahar to be her home.]
What if the people do not accept you?
