| The Thirty Third Aura • Accidental Video |

[The first thing that gets recorded is the PCD being dropped unceremoniously onto the ground. It's easy enough to see that it's an accident, a mistake that wasn't meant to happen. But fingers get weak and slippery, devices fall to the ground and are left to film the scene as it unfolds before them

[Raven watches this scene with her usual emotionless mask on. And yet she feels for him. That's why she refrains from calling him an idiot when he destroys the tombstones. They've been warned they'd only saw their own death if they did that. But she says nothing. She'd been careful and reasonable so far and has avoided all tombstones yet she kinda knows it won't last. When he starts crying again, she switches to voice and whispers.]

All of this is deception. Only our pain is real.

[He appreciates the restraint. He realizes it probably wasn't the best idea to destroy the stone, but he couldn't bring himself to know that it was out there and he could stumble upon it at any point and time, like a badly placed reminder that would only serve as a memory of what he failed to protect. So when he hears her voice coming over the device, he does little more than switch it on to the matching form, voice, his own as quiet as hers.]

Then it isn't really a deception, is it?

What you feel is real. What you are is real. What you saw wasn't. It is deception.

[She can tell it must have felt terrible for him, finding his friend's tombstone like this. He probably feels guilty about it, considering that Sora's dead because he wasn't able to protect him. But to her, that only means he's exactly the good guy she think he is.]

[He doesn't speak, because even if he knows it's not real, being told it isn't in that tone doesn't exactly help make him feel any better.]

Oi. Snap out of it. Just be glad it isn't real.

[Her tone is sharp, unforgiving. Despair is not something she wanted floating in the air again.]

[Voice]

[reflectivedawn]

Do you have anything useful to add or is that it?

[Voice]

[fallenapple]

Anything else you wanna do other than break fake tombstones? I thought you were stronger than that, Mr. High and Mighty.

[Voice]

[reflectivedawn]

I could break your face. But that would be impolite, wouldn't it?

[ff_red_turk]

Riku. Breathe.

[reflectivedawn]

No shit.

[ff_red_turk]

I'm not joking.

[reflectivedawn]

Neither am I. And in case you didn't notice, I really don't need your help.
