Maybe... we should go back to the basics...? Go back to things like, um... the nova, the teams, the Leaders. There must be something in there that can help all of us.
It's not a bad idea. Right now there's so much information that people are going to get confused what belongs to what. Like when we're trying to put evidence together in a way that makes sense.
[he glances upward as though to think.]
Okay. So what do we really know about the nova? It's our memories, right?
Right. And we know there's a monster out there that's eating the nova and that's what's causing our memories to disappear. This was the disturbance in this Realm that called all of us here in the first place, including the Leaders who showed up not long before we did. They traded their memories for powers to help us.
Right... I was wondering if these locations were created from the Leaders' memories that were taken, but it does not sound as though that is the case after all.
From what I know, they're memories of other places that were already disturbed. And remember that place I went to a few weeks ago? That was a memory, too. I think that one might have been connected to us though, somehow.
It is. I wish I had a simpler answer for why things are the way they are. We know the Realm responds to our actions though, so...it's why I want to keep trying to do something good. Maybe it'll change then.
Sora... that is such a wonderful thought. I had not thought of things like that at all, but you are right. If we all continue to try to do good... perhaps that will influence it too!
I hope so! It's why I'm trying to remind everyone just how easily influenced the Realm is. If people can remember that, and focus on doing better to try and teach the Realm new habits, maybe it'll free up the rules a little for us.
Good. [he looks pleased to hear that.] I hope that other people will, too. We can really make a difference if it's more than one or two of us. I know it.
[stop no they have to believe!! and so do i because i refuse to let it just be them.]
Isn't it? [he looks pretty fond of the idea of belief.] Believing in my friends and myself is how we got through our biggest battles. Without it...it's way too easy to give up and let the darkness win. So even if they don't believe in the same stuff we do, I hope people have something to hold on to the longer we're here.
[no this is me and sora not saying things it's fine, we're fine.]
You're right. [he can't do anything but agree.] But I won't be happy about it if other people here don't get that far. So we have to do even better to make sure everyone gets home.

That is how I feel, anyway.

[Ange's brow furrows as she stares at the water.]
Right... gathering nova will, um, protect our "world's memories", according to the Leaders.

However, they are created from our expectations.

It is all so very complicated, Sora...

You are very right...! I will do my best to do what I can as well to spread that idea.

Right...! That makes me feel a little bit more optimistic. Thank you, Sora... it is nice to have something to believe in at times like this.

[Ange is quiet for a long moment as she contemplates that... and then she nods quietly.]
You are right. I hope everyone here has something like that.
Having something like that... it will keep us all going. No matter what.
no subject
What else are you holding onto, Ange? What keeps you going?
no subject
... Do you remember... when we were talking about exploring... and I said there was someone I wished to bring with me?
no subject
Yeah. That friend of yours, right? Or...the one you want to be friends with, anyway.
no subject
[Her Crush.]
I think she is amazing! And... I would like to get back home and talk with her more... and travel with her... and so many things!
no subject
Sounds like it's very important to you. If that's what you can hold onto and that's the thing to give you strength? Keep it.
no subject
[Never ever... her big lesbian crush.]
And... you have home, right, Sora? Home and your [dokis] precious friends there.
no subject
something in sora's expression kind of flickers a little even while he smiles, because home is very important (and so are his friends and his dokis.)]
Yeah. I'll find a way back no matter what, so I have to keep believing. I can't let go of my world.
no subject
... I have faith in you. You are... one of the brightest lights in this entire place, Sora.
So you, definitely, will make it home to your world.
no subject
You're right. [he can't do anything but agree.] But I won't be happy about it if other people here don't get that far. So we have to do even better to make sure everyone gets home.
