[he's not sure which is more comforting here, the hand in his hair or what she says. he stays leaning against her and seems to consider this even if it's obvious he's relaxing a little more once again.]
Okay. Then we'll figure it out together. [there's another pause then.] ...I think I forgot something, too. But I don't know if it's because of this place, or I just don't remember at all. It doesn't feel like static.
The static might, um. It might be designed to fuck with me specifically, but that's just a buckwild theory I've got going. [ she says, vaguely annoyed by this. ] This is going to be an extremely stupid question but what is it that you don't remember?
I don't remember why we ever thought there were other worlds out there besides our island. Or why we used to talk about them so much. They only reason I left was because our island was destroyed by the Heartless.
[but he knows that he and riku used to talk about other worlds. they used to think about how all of the stars up where were other worlds, but...was it really just a childlike fantasy? the idea must have come from somewhere.]
Maybe there's something we can do to make the static quieter for you. Or at least less obvious.
[ hm. she thinks about his lost memory for a moment, watching him. she doesn't know what she can say to help - but she keeps it with her for now. ]
I think it is what it is, but I appreciate the effort, kid. [ sigh. ] It's looking like the only way we're going to get out of this mess is by trying to win as fast as possible.
Well...okay. [he'll still try to brainstorm something on his own time. there's no way that's just it.] How are we even supposed to win though? We still don't even know what this nova stuff looks like or how to collect it. It's been days.
The only thing I keep getting from the leaders is that nova's attracted to people. It might just be a matter of us being here. Like we're bait.
Elsa mentioned she thought the Realm didn't have any way of asking us to help, so it just brought us here instead. Building off that - it doesn't matter who we are, as long as we're here as something to be - I don't know, not fed off of, necessarily.
Really? [he doesn't necessarily like being used as bait. he would really rather not do that, thank you!] So us being here means more nova appears, and the more it appears the more we can catch to put it back where it's supposed to go.
I wish they made it more clear what that really means. What attracts it to people? How do we attract more of it?

That doesn't mean you can't help me.

I want to. So what can I do?

We're the cheese in the mouse trap, I think?

No idea, and... no idea. Maybe good questions to ask the hosts? I'll keep it in mind next time I go to get alcohol from mine.
