...365 days and I didn't disappear.

That you're the same person, or something like that. Is that right?

[perplexme]

Yeah, essentially. We're each half of a person basically.

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. But why would that make you disappear?

[perplexme]

If I were to permanently merge with Sora, I'd disappear.

[knightofratatosk]

You-- what?! T-that's not going to happen though... right? I mean, you don't have to merge with him or anything, do you...?

[perplexme]

If we ever get home, I'll have to.

[knightofratatosk]

But... why?

[perplexme]

Because Sora has to be whole.

[knightofratatosk]

...

[perplexme]

...what is it?

[knightofratatosk]

How... how can you be sure that you'll disappear and not Sora?

[perplexme]

Because I'm his Nobody. Nobodies are nothing without their Other. Others can exist without their Nobodies.

[knightofratatosk]

... so in other words, he's the one who existed first.

[perplexme]

Yeah, more or less.

[knightofratatosk]

What will happen to all of your memories when you do merge?

[perplexme]

I keep my memories. I did last time anyway.

[knightofratatosk]

That... that's good. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to lose the memories of everyone you cared about.

[perplexme]

...the thing is...you might forget about me.

[knightofratatosk]

That doesn't make any sense. If you're the one who is going to disappear, why would I forget about you?

[perplexme]

Because, if all of us go home, nobody will remember me because I wouldn't have really existed. [No this doesn't make sense but he's had it happen to him before so just allow him to be crazy-talky right now]

[knightofratatosk]

I'll still remember you. I've been keeping a book of everyone I met here in Luceti so that I won't forget anyone, even if they get sent back home.

[perplexme]

A book? Like a different journal or something?

[knightofratatosk]

Kind of like that. I guess you'd say it's more like a diary.

[perplexme]

What's the difference?

[knightofratatosk]

... actually, that's a good question. I meant that it's not like the journals the Malnosso gave us.
