So...I can talk to other people this way, right?

[The video feed shakes up and down as Cambot nods.]

Really? Great!

...Wait, there are other people around, aren't there? Because crash landing in a space station ghost town wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I can't believe you're here. And Riku! Sora, Riku's okay! Did you see him? He's okay! You're both okay...

Um. Well, I...kind of followed you to that creepy End of the World place even after you told me to stay put. Sorry about that. By the time I caught up with you, and Donald and Goofy...I saw you closing a big set of doors. I kind of got the feeling that Riku was stuck behind them.

You promised the three of us would be together again. And then you and I got separated. I watched you disappear in a blue haze. The stars started flaring into the sky...and I woke up here.

...Sora. You're huge.

[optimistickey]

Yeah, he's okay! He's been okay for awhile.

...Oh. Okay, so you saw us when we closed the Door to Darkness...

[And the first thing Sora focuses on is someone actually thinking he's tall for once...] Heh, you think so?

[seasidememories]

You're kidding, right? Look at you! I'm jealous. Think of all the tall shelves you can reach now.

Sora. I'm so glad the two of you are alright. I don't care how much you've grown. Riku's still taller than you, sorry. I don't care that we're stuck on a crazy space station. This is the best moment ever.

That might sound weird to you, if you're really from my future, but...just trust me on it.

[optimistickey]

[He folds his hands behind his head.] Yeah! And the weirdest part is, I guess I slept through most of that!

I guess Riku told you about the future thing, huh? A whole lot has happened since closing the door.

Where are you on the ship right now? We can come find you!

[seasidememories]

Well, I can't wait to hear all of it--including why you were sleeping through most of it. Not that that surprises me very much. You're always snoozing on the shore.

Me? I'm still in the hall on the first deck.

[optimistickey]

The sleeping part I'm kind of fuzzy on... [Considering he was asleep for it and all.] And I'm not always like that! I was way busy this last year!

I'll come and find you, then!
