[foodbin]

Yeah.

[...]

I do hope you're right, at least.

[leaberator]

Now that's something I don't hear often.

[ it's a joke. ]

[foodbin]

Once this is all over, maybe it'll switch to 'I know you're right'.

[leaberator]

You do that, and then I'll really get a big head.

[foodbin]

Maybe then it'll match with how unnaturally large your hair is.

[leaberator]

You seriously don't like my hair, huh?

[foodbin]

It's fine. I'm just teasing you because it doesn't make any sense in terms of physics and gravity.

[leaberator]

[ he's cackling ]

I keep telling you, it's normal where I'm from! I dunno what you want from me.

[foodbin]

That doesn't make it any less weird.

[With a smile, she reaches out to touch his hair, and—

He'll suddenly experience something else (1:34:27 to 1:37:08, because the internet hates me and I couldn't find this specific scene elsewhere). There's a good amount of pain in her abdomen as well as her leg as long as the memory continues along with a sense of exasperation and fear, but it's fine.]

[leaberator]

[ Meanwhile, Emma can have a nice, fun time (that goes from 3:08 to 4:35 because same issue). He's quietly resigned and frustrated through most of it, but the flare of pure anger once Xion tells him not to hold back is real-- as is the thread of desperation lacing it.

The look on his face right now, after witnessing emma's, is... more awkward than anything else. That guy... ]

... Oh, good. It keeps happening.

[ he doesn't know what to say about it. it wasn't that long ago, was it? so... ]

[foodbin]

Sorry... Sorry, I should have thought about it, but—

[Hm.]

Is that before she...?

[Maybe they can just never talk about hers. That'd be fine.]

[leaberator]

... Yeah. [ he frowns ] It must've been a day or two before.

[ it's hard to pinpoint the exact day you forgot someone, ha ha. but. also. god. he shouldn't ask. he shouldn't ask. he shouldn't-- ]

So, who was that...?

[ oh my god why did he ask ]

[foodbin]

...I'm sorry.

[She pauses, then, and looks away.]

His name was Paul. It's... I only knew him well for about a day or two.

[leaberator]

[ thank god he's disney and knowing someone for a day or two before kissing them is normal ]

He's the same guy who... [ well it makes the earlier flashback make? a little more sense? he falters. ] I'm not gonna be jealous or something. You can tell me about him if you wanna.

[foodbin]

[After a moment of hesitation:]

He was a good friend. In the kind of job I had, not a lot of people take the time to hear your side of things or care how you feel, but...

[She shrugs.]

He was always trying to help, even after we accidentally got stuck in a horrifying alien apocalypse together.

[leaberator]

Sounds like a good guy. [ he hesitates and takes her hand. wow. nothing happens. incredible. this will surely keep up ] ...Is it weird if I say I'm sorry that happened to him?

[foodbin]

...No, it's not. It's nice of you to say.

[She gives his hand a squeeze.]

Sorry you had to see the whole - blood thing.

[leaberator]

Yeah, that was way icky. [ axel you're an adult ] Pretty sure you've seen me the same way at least once, though.

[foodbin]

As long as you promise not to do a repeat.

[She says, grabbing his other hand—

Which means he's getting 1:18:42 to 1:22:23.

She doesn't have any words for this one. It's fine.]

[leaberator]

[ that's fine, because she's getting this fucking gem of a memory. up until 3:24.

i realize now that ven having roxas's face makes this confusing on top of embarrassing so they match ]

............ Alright.

[ he doesn't know what to say either. ]

[foodbin]

[It's fine because

she's definitely starting to laugh a little bit.]

Oh my god.

[leaberator]

[ at her laugh he just. shrugs, because-- ]

Yeah, I know. I was a pretty weird kid.

[foodbin]

No... It was sweet.

[leaberator]

"Sweet"? What, the part where I got my butt handed to me, or the one where I was getting insulted the whole time?

[ or the part where saix had like, one feeling ]

[foodbin]

The part where you made a friend.
