Eighth Breeze

Hey, uh... guys?

[It's Ven on the Cambot, looking a little... disturbed, shall we say.]

Anyone who can see the... the ghosts, I guess... [He pauses, looks to the side, then back at Cambot.] Are any of them saying they know you?

[Cam adjusts his camera so he's focusing on the... is that a little girl? It is, and she's standing next to Ven, staring up at him with big eyes the same color as his. Her hair is different, a light brown, almost sandy and pulled back in a short ponytail, but there's a similarity to their facial structures that probably isn't coincidence.]

[She's also covered in gashes that shine red, mostly over her arms and chest. And she just keeps watching Ven.]

[Awww that's...kinda sweet. And somehow it makes him a bit sad, too.]

[salvagedlight]

[Seriously. All she wants is to play - it's possible she doesn't realize she's dead, or even see her injuries, since she's not asking for any sort of first aid. Ven watches her, his expression getting more shaky as she moves, then finally gives in.]

Look... um, Penna... [And he takes a deep breath.] Who are you? Who are we?

[She pauses in her twirling and looks back at him, confused.]

Why are you being silly?

[optimistickey]

[Sora is a little afraid of where this conversation may go. He doesn't say anything still, but is ready to step in if needed...]

[salvagedlight]

I'm not, I'm... I'm just confused. It's- It's kind of hard for me to remember things from when I was little, and...

[He trails off as her expression falls. She comes over to him, really close but not touching.]

But it's me. You know me.

[optimistickey]

[Sora's definitely wondering if he should step in now. Problem is, what would he say? Could he even serve as a distraction?]

[salvagedlight]

...Penna, I... I'm sorry, but I don't.

[As hard as it is for him to say it, it's harder to watch her face as it falls at that unhappy revelation. She looks so wounded. Whatever they had, they were close...]

But you've gotta! You remember me and Mommy and Daddy! We're family and family doesn't forget!
