[first things first: he's definitely not outdoors anymore]
[and then there's the whole deal with the softness at his back and head that feels suspiciously like, well... a bed]
[he keeps his eyes closed]
Hey, you know, when they said death was like falling asleep, I don't think this is what they meant.
... Whoever you are.
So that was fake, too

--What's your problem?
I'm not in a good mood either, you know, so you'd better have a good answer.

[Siiigh; okay, he sounds a bit less completely pissed off now.] So you ended up here, too. Great...

[... ? That... can't be right. She doesn't even have eyes to open any more.
She's in a room. It has pink walls. It's dark. The air is still and silent. She's lying in a soft bed, and it's warm and comfortable.
She's alive. How...?]
[Xion sits up slowly. It's... the most colorful bedroom she's ever seen, and very... well. Girly.
She slides out of bed. She's wearing soft pajamas (the one on the left) and the floor is cold under her bare feet. Everything feels so... surreal. But then, this isn't real, isn't it? It's just a dream, or something. Maybe in Sora's heart, the only thing left for her to do is dream. (She didn't think there'd be enough of her left ( ... )

In the pause in which they register each other, in fact, a few more things (books, knickknacks -- there are a lot of those) go sliding, unnoticed.]
No. I'm--
[The Replica pauses, gaze hard on the unfamiliar offender but words faltering -- nothing to correct to, after all, is there?]

[Xion wonders why she's so calm -- but then, what's there to not be calm about? This is either a dream, so there's no need to get all bothered... or it's Sora's heart, and so... maybe this is a memory, or this Riku -- not-Riku -- is a memory. Nothing to not be calm about, right?]

[The Replica's still trying to figure out if this is some weird kind of afterlife -- sure, Riku said something about it, but not even Riku had believed what he said; his Replica would know.
And of course he'd still have Riku's face here. Couldn't get away from that one even if his fake Heart gave it a good shot, apparently.]

[ He feels something odd, like something has changed (or like he couldn't remember if he left the stove on or something), but he thinks nothing of it-- after all, this whole situation has been bizarre-- and hangs up the phone to check out how "normal" normal is supposed to be ]

Zexion's reaction would have made him laugh if he weren't just as shocked.]
