[what started out as a day spent very warily heading out to as many ends of the barrier as possible to get a better look at what's looming in the sky above them all-- despite the weather-- has abruptly ended upon the discovery of a mask that looks exactly like a certain housemate

After the past two days - spent "killing" her friends and a few strangers (and one stupid black haired boy), then finding and apologizing to all of those people (except the stupid black haired boy), Xion's found herself exhausted, still. The forgiveness she received was, for the most part, unconditional, and she was grateful for it. But she's worn out just the same.
Seeking solace, hiding out in her room and trying to keep away from any and all further masks she might run across, Xion happens to glance at the journal to hear this broadcast.
And she quickly drops it as if the book has burned her.
Unspeakable, cold horror fills every inch of her. This ... this can't be ... who would -- a mask? On who? Who was that? How did-- whoever that really is, why do they look like her when she was dying? ]
Who.... [ Her voice shakes. ] Who are you?

[the voice that replies to her is identical, if not in inflection. Sora sounds both defeated and horrified that Xion can see him.]
[there's an apologetic note tucked at the last syllable, too.]
I'm Sora.
[unfortunately, there's very little that would make this more ironic.]

The sight, sound, idea of it makes her feel physically ill. What would have happened if you'd died instead of me? What would I have done to you? To everyone?
She is a monster. A hideous monster. And now Sora is stuck looking like...
... like a monster. ]
Sora .... [ Her voice is pale and weak. ] I ... I never ... I never wanted you to, to have to... [ Know. See this. ] I ....
... where ... are you?

[silence. Sora almost doesn't want to tell her where he is, like staying apart would somehow settle both of their emotions. he... gives in eventually, though.]
I'm by the plaza. [it's just barely something more than his earlier mumbling.]

I'd rather not find out what would happen if it was destroyed.

[ Hey Sora, hope you don't mind being run over to and pulled into a hug before you can protest by a certain Couple's Mask-induced replica because that is probably what is about to happen right now. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST AWKWARD THING EVER HI ]

Uh-- I'm not--

What's... what's going on? What is this stuff? [ The crystal, he means. ]

[moreso the turning into Xion than the crystals, though he still hitches and tenses with each chnk noise, each time more crystals form.]
