Tenth Key

[optimistickey]

[Sora comes onscreen, back to his human self. Luckily, his Cambot isn't busted or anything, but he still looks pretty embarrassed and upset with himself.]

Uhh, h-hey, everyone. It looks like we're back to our normal selves now! And that dragon-horse guy is gone! I guess I wasn't the only one he was messing with, but...that was like living in a really weird nightmare.

Listen...I just wanted to apologize to anyone I hurt. I was a total jerk. And I'm really sorry that I said that stuff...I don't mean it at all.

[Sora is relieved himself!]

It feels good to not be acting like that now!

[skysmirror]

I bet.

[Then she looks away a bit.]

I...umm..explained a few things to Lea and Isa.

[optimistickey]

[Now Sora looks a bit anxious...]

What all did you explain?

Action

[skysmirror]

[She heads over to where Sora is, shooing the Cambots away when she finds him. This isn't something for everyone to hear.]

Not many details. I was mostly trying to reassure him that Axel didn't abandon us. He seemed to believe me, but...

[She sighs.]

Sora, he knows he becomes Axel at some point in the future, and something bad happens. If he wants to find out more, he'll find a way. Axel always did.

[optimistickey]

Ohh. [That anxious look remains.]

I didn't really want Isa and Lea to find out about that...I don't want to mess up their friendship or anything.

[skysmirror]

[That is such a Sora thing to say. She smiles sadly. It's not that she wants to mess with their friendship, either, but...]

I think they got hints from some of us being confused. I know I called them "Axel" and "Saix" the first time I saw them.

[She looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Isa probably guessed more than Lea did. There was one time I almost explained to them, but Isa kept the conversation away from Axel.

[optimistickey]

Ohh, right.

Isa does look like the more observant one... [Not that Lea isn't observant at all.] But do they know all of the details of what happened between them?

[skysmirror]

[She shakes her head.]

No--I don't think anyone here could tell them that.

[optimistickey]

That's probably the best thing, then.
