[Kairi reappears over the screen, after a good month, looked slightly irked.]

Wow, this is some crazy spring, huh? [Sigh.] Yeah... I was asleep again. If someone could fill me in, I'd really appreciate it.

Is this place always so 'interesting?'

[royalseashells]

[A light laugh.] Pretty much. I guess you're new here?

[gimme_ur_pants]

[Shiki hesitates before answering. 'She has the right to know...' the girl tells herself. 'Kairi is his best friend.']

Kairi... Riku went home again.

[royalseashells]

[There's a small intake of breath on the other line, followed by silence.]

... Can we... do lunch again?

[gimme_ur_pants]

Of course! I can tell you all about what happened to this place.

... And, I'm sorry, Kairi.

[royalseashells]

Sounds great.

It's okay. I know this has been really tough on you, too.

[gangstaspeak]

Ain't sure whether to say ya lucked out or not.

[royalseashells]

Oh, yeah? What happened this time?

[gangstaspeak]

It was like everyone thought they was someone else, you know?

[royalseashells]

Yeah, I heard. That's happened before, though, right? Was it different this time?

[idkmybffsakaki]

Oh, you slept through everything? [She had heard about sleep comas, but she didn't know anyone personally that had been in one since she got here.]

[royalseashells]

Yeah, it's been happening to me a lot recently. I usually don't sleep this much. [Grin.]

[idkmybffsakaki]

[She can't help but smile to this.] Well....maybe it was a good thing? A lot of strange things have happened lately...

[royalseashells]

Maybe it was. And I feel like a lot of strange things happen every day here...

[linkings]

[If anything, your Nobody here sound exhausted.] Another one, again?

[A pause.] I don't think you missed too much now, Kairi. But... Riku is gone.

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

Mm. I'm hoping it'll be the last.

[Her voice softens.] I know. It's happened before... with Riku, Sora, and even you. People just disappear from here without any warning.

[Voice]

[linkings]

Mmm. [And a little pause. She tries to sound lighter and happier in the next bit.] Hopefully. That can't be good for you all the time.

Well... Riku and I came back, so maybe he will again next time. And stay for you too.

[Voice]

[royalseashells]

... It sounds terrible, but I've kind of gotten used to it. And I know it's not their fault, so it's something I try not to get upset about, you know?
