Sixty-Fourth Keychain - Written

I only have one simple question for everybody.

[Which is a surprise in and of itself. For Roxas, who generally asks lots of questions and pokes and prods at everything, simple isn't exactly something that fits in his vocabulary.]

What do you do when you've run out of things to do? [A pause.] I mean I've been here for 1,558 days. My cat refuses to keep up his painting and skateboarding lessons. ~~Axel's still gone, and Xion has Luke.~~ Time...moves really fast, and I guess I'm just now noticing.

At least it's close to Christmas again. I've really grown to like the snow and the holiday, maybe almost as much as Sora. Heh. All right, I don't think anyone can love Christmas as much as he can. That'll be something to keep me busy for a while, but what then? I think I've read almost every book in the library by now. Is there more that I can learn still, or does it all just stop?

Anyway, I don't really expect an answer, but I'd appreciate it if anyone had some advice.

…thanks.

With how much I've been training? I doubt that'll be a problem. If anything, I could stand to take more breaks.

It is possible, but doubtful. The last time they removed the seal, they soon returned it. I have no reason to believe they will act otherwise this time.

Well, uh. For me, it kind of just happened. An old housemate of mine had a kid and, well, someone had to look after her.

I guess I was kind of lucky, though. She's one of the easier ones.

Jack is...he's a giant skeleton that tried making Christmas better and that didn't really work out for him. I think he's the pumpkin king.

Then why do people bother with romance?

Then why don't you?

You never know...maybe it'll be a Christmas present from them or something. Unless you want the seal back.

...Stella, right? It was her kid.

I do. I am not meant to have my memories unsealed at this time. I am uncertain of what the effect may be if I remain in this state.

A giant skeleton??

...Okay I'm really tempted to go sarcastic, but I think I'll just confuse you more. There's maybe three reasons, and two of them are crass, so I'll settle on the last one. The last one, simply, is that people can't resist. And they ought not to resist.

Probably will. Just gotta stop being so stubborn, I guess.

[Heh.]

So, any good suggestions pop up?

I guess so. The worst that could happen is that we won't get anything at all.

That is indeed true. [You realize you're going to have to report everything to her now right...] Perhaps I should ask to join you one day to investigate these ships myself.
