[Filtered From Hayner]

So let's say that someone recently showed up in this place, but they're from a time where they remember you differently. How can you tell them about how things are in the future without ruining everything? And this isn't just a "oh I moved away" sort of difference, this is something a lot bigger...like memories.

727 days. Nearly two years, and I still don't see any signs of me going home anytime soon. Should I consider that a good thing or a bad thing? For those of you who have been here that long, what do you think?

Oh, hey. Hayner! I'm thinking since you're new here ~~and your sense of direction stinks still~~, we should probably explore Luceti some more so you get familiar with it. What do you think? Later today?

[Filter to Xion]

Hey. I think we need to talk.

Don't you think he's going to find out eventually? Sora and Kairi are already trying to convince him that they've met before.

They met the real Hayner. How are you going to explain that to him?

That's the part I don't know yet. It's either tell him that he's digital or whatever, or tell him that I'm part of somebody else. Both of those sound really bad, don't they?

I have the same problem!

... the thing is, I don't know if I trust him, either. I want to, but...

[ a sigh. ] Soul Eater? Is that its name? I guess that's it. [ she looks at him, biting her lip, then glances away again, ice cream temporarily forgotten. ] ... I wish he'd just give me space to think, but he keeps asking to talk to me. He seems like he feels really bad, but ... I can't just go back to the way things were before. If he could prove he was trustworthy, somehow...

Seriously? Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

Not one. So far I've just been avoiding talking about it.

I think so. Sora would know.

Anyway...he's been asking people about betrayal and how to fix it and make up for it. Pretty sure it's because of you. [Ear scritch for Nea.] Have you told him to go away? Because I could probably tell him to go away for a while. I already told him I only trust him about seventy-five percent right now.

That's why sometimes it's just easier to lie.

Who else is here that you have to avoid talking about it?

It'd be fine if I was sure he would never find out. You know how Hayner is, how he'd react if he found out I lied about it.

Just one. He's the only person here that's from the same world as me.

Actually I don't know Hayner at all. Your call, man.

He what? [ Xion did not know that. Her eyebrows knit and she looks away. When had he...? And not told her. But why would he tell her when...?

Ugh. Not even sure how to feel about that, Xion's just quiet for a moment. ] ... no, I haven't. I don't want him to go away, I just... I just wish there was an easy way to fix all of this, even though I know there's not. [ takes a bite out of her melting ice cream. ] ... I don't know anymore, Roxas. I don't know what I want, or what I really think of him.

I've got a lot of people here from the same world as me, but most of them know about me already. One of my best friends though? He just got here and he's completely clueless about it. It sucks, doesn't it?

...great. I think he'll figure it out if all of us move into the same house.

It really does.

I think it was probably filtered from you...sorry. [Other than not really because he's pretty sure Xion needed to know. He sighs deeply and shakes his head.] Love's stupid anyway. [Ice cream is melting and so he's going to eat it while he thinks this over.]

The other part is that Riku has a heart...we don't. Wonder if he remembers that feelings are different for us. [But scooting closer because he actually feels like being sort of supportive, though there's a grunt when Nea digs claws into his leg from the movement.] Ow. I think...you just need to stop thinking about it. Sure I can't tell him just to go away for a while anyway?

The only two options we really have I guess are to keep lying about it, or just tell the truth. How badly would telling the truth affect you and your situation?

I can't say. It would probably end on the bad side.

What about you?

Well then just tell him.

...maybe later. Needs to be tactful.

What do you think about the idea of moving in with them anyway?

Probably the same. No, scratch that, definitely the same. He won't believe me first of all, and then he'll get made for "lying" about it.

... don't apologize. I can understand why. [ she had something of her own to filter, not long ago. ] ... love's not stupid. It's just harder than I thought it would be.

[ she just licks at her dwindling ice cream quietly while she listens to him speak after that. truthfully, she's not sure her feelings are different -- jury's still out on if she has a heart -- but she doesn't say that. she smiles a little when he moves closer. ] ... I'm sure. I think he gets the idea... and if I have to, I can tell him to go away on my own. It's hard not to think about it, though. It's practically all that's on my mind, lately.

That might be a little worse than mine. I think he'd believe me, I just don't know how he'd take it.
