Mission 16

[skysmirror]

[Not long after this, Cambot comes across Xion in Sora's room. At least, one would think it's Xion, but her hair looks a little too brown--no, wait, it's black as usual, must have been a trick of the light.

It looks like she's checking up on Sora, who looks like he's asleep. Pretty deeply asleep, too; he doesn't seem to be aware of Xion checking his pulse. She looks up when she's done, and she's pretty obviously concerned and tired. When her mouth moves as if she's speaking, Cambot helpfully provides subtitles.]

I can't get him to wake up.

Comments

[Really, Xion's glad that so many people are concerned about Sora, but giving explanations over Cambot--especially this kind of explanation--is awkward. At least Cambot's helpful in providing subtitles.]

We thought we'd try the time machine...

[beforethemoon]

["Did something go wrong?" Isa assumes it must have been a malfunction]

[skysmirror]

[Well, yes, there was a malfunction, but not with the machine.]

You could say that.

[beforethemoon]

"What happened?"

[skysmirror]

[Xion looks thoughtful for a moment before she answers.]

I'd rather not talk about if over Cambot

[beforethemoon]

[That seems odd. "Well, okay, then tell me in person."]

[skysmirror]

[She nods.]

Right now?

[beforethemoon]

["If you want."]

[skysmirror]

[She looks back at Sora.]

I kind of don't want to just leave him like this. Would you mind coming here? Or we'll talk later, after he wakes up.
