"This is Roxas.
You can say something, I guess."

I did?...OH! Oh, right, the recording! [He laughs.] Sorry, I set that up months ago and completely forgot about it.
Oh really?
[She laughs weakly.]
Whoops! Don't mind my odd response then. Let me try again.
[Pause]
Hello Roxas! How are you today? [He hopes he's doing better than her.]

[Like he has any room to judge what's odd or not.]
Hi, Namine. I'm all right, I guess. What's up with you?
Hi, Namine. I'm all right, I guess. What's up with you?
[ At least he's well. Better than how she's feeling. ]
Bad.
I don't feel good and I want to make this feeling go away. So I wanted to talk to you.

Riku's gone.
[And she has no clue if they are on friendly terms or not when he was here, but she wants to say anyway. He did ask.]
I guess he got ported away? I don't know. I just know he's not here and I don't feel good now that he's not here...

What? He is?
[Immediately, Roxas feels a whole mixture of emotions. Some of them he can't really identify.
He'd be lying if he said relief wasn't among them.]
I...guess that stinks, for his friends. I'm sorry.

[Oh, so he hasn't heard yet. At least now he knows...but his reaction is different from how Sora and Kairi acted. She wonders why.]
You don't feel the same as his friends do?

We didn't get along. Or maybe it was just that I couldn't get along with him.
[He's quiet for a moment.]
I don't...hate him. But he's the one who took me and put me in that town.

[ There's a long silence that comes from her end. Naminé can't help it though, she's currently beating herself up mentally for even bringing something like this up. She should have known better, since she actually was there when Riku did it, and of course Roxas isn't happy about it.
Why did she ask him that? ]
...I remember...and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you feeling this way against him, after all we've done to you.

...I remember...and I'm sure he wouldn't mind you feeling this way against him, after all we've done to you.
[The silence lasts a little longer. He feels...kind of gross, when he thinks about Namine feeling bad, even though she'd helped DiZ too. Because Roxas had seen how that man treated her, too. And because she probably thought of Riku as a friend so of course she's not happy to see him gone.]
Yeah. He didn't act that upset about it while he was here.
Yeah. He didn't act that upset about it while he was here.
Heh, that sounds like him.
[ And knowing Riku, he probably thought he deserved it too. She's grateful Riku at least had his best friends around him to combat that. ]
You know...I can understand if you feel relief after he left, if you actually feel that way.

Maybe a little.
[He's quiet for a moment.]
When I first got here, I used to get scared that he'd decide he needed to put me back with Sora to make sure things turned out all right. I could have fought him, but I didn't want to. I never wanted to.

Because you're better than that, Roxas.
And...I don't think he would have put you back in again. He knows better than anyone how much you deserve a life too.
Not to mention he probably would have taken his time researching to see how things came like this. [She's still wrecking her brain over this!]

He would have if he thought it was necessary.
[Roxas knows that for sure.]
But it wasn't, so. I guess it doesn't matter now.

[ she's been here for all of three seconds (yeah yeah housing assignment yeah yeah new job, less important than this) and already she's scrambling to get in touch with him. ]
Roxas? I'm back.
Are you still here?
Roxas? I'm back.
Are you still here?
[There's a stunned silence when he gets her message. Stunned, but happy.]
Xion? You're really back?
Xion? You're really back?
[ oh, thank goodness. she lets out a breath she wasn't aware she'd been holding. ]
Really, really. [ it's just so good to hear his voice. have him remember her. he remembered her before but knowing he remembers her now... ] I'm sorry I made you worry.

Y-yeah...it's okay, don't worry about it.
[He's laughing a little, even if it's not funny. He's just so glad.]
Where are you?
[He's laughing a little, even if it's not funny. He's just so glad.]
Where are you?
Cape Canaveral. I'm heading towards Heropa now.
[ sorry phone lady, the second it was back in her hands she was scrambling to make a call. ]
[ sorry phone lady, the second it was back in her hands she was scrambling to make a call. ]
I will be right there.
[He's basically already on the move. She can probably hear the quiet whoosh of a summoned dark corridor.]

[ she sure can. she's turning around, and the second she sees him he's getting hugged tightly.
it was a good thing they shared that paopu. it would never let them be too far from each other ever again. ]

[He's thinking the exact same thing as they more or less crash into each other. He'd lift her off her feet but, well, they're the same height, so that isn't gonna work. Roxas is grinning so hard his face hurts.]
I missed you.
I missed you.
I'm sorry for disappearing.
[ again.
but they don't have to worry about that anymore, do they? sure, they might vanish from here one day (though she hopes not) but - this is no longer the only time they have. there's a future waiting for them, all their own.
assuming the world doesn't end. ]
