...making sure all of our numbers were met for one thing. Knowing what teams to protect and what teams needed extra help. And being someone that can help keep people going. Among other things.
As somebody who's met a few extraterrestrial beings and people without hearts? I don't know if I believe that. But if you say so. [he does not believe it in the slightest.]
[...hm. that sure does sound like something that could be real.]
Sounds lonely. [point-blank.] If you can't leave the place you were designated to or whatever, then what happens if you run out of resources? What about meeting other people? Can people ever get past those walls?
If you cannot support yourself in that world, you die. And even so, the other side of the wall is worse.
[???
She doesn't look inclined to elaborate on that, though.]
Regardless, it is the same as most planets, I would imagine. There are fools who try, and those who give up and do not. Some try their whole lives to cross those walls. For me, though...
[...the worst part is that he's comparing this to what he knows about clementine's world since he himself has never had to really scrap to survive. but then again, he thinks about the memories he's obtained from roxas and about never was.
there was a time roxas had been warned that being out of the organization was worse than being in it. it seems similar to that.
so he nods and doesn't ask for clarification, drawing his own conclusions that may not even be correct.]
For a while, we didn't know how we were ever gonna leave our world. We knew there were other ones out there, and we had plans to go on a raft and sail as far as we could, but even that seems kind of laughable now. The only reason we left at all was that our whole island was destroyed and the three of us were separated while being cast out to different worlds. [so sure. other planets have walls, too.]
...it sounds tiring. Spending all your time just trying to survive without a hope that things could get better.
[Ange is quiet for awhile as she listens, single remaining eye still on the sky.
....... She wonders, a lot, about the people here. Why they are the way they are. Why Sora is still the sort of person he is, even though his island was destroyed and he was separated from his friends.
What is it that makes them so different?
Either way, she finally looks at him at that.]
I didn't say I've lost hope. There is something I am working towards as well--a reason I need to return home.
But that... is enough of that. I've described my planet to you. Are you satisfied? Has it assisted in putting any pieces together?
[She's sure she's quite the enigma to people now after weeks of her faking.]
[he doesn't mind the quiet as she absorbs what he's saying and instead he also stares straight ahead.]
...that girl you like, right? The one you want to run away with and explore the world.
[he can put together pieces, now, that he's taken in the things she's said and what he knew about ange's fake personality. he doesn't quite say yes or no about being satisfied and instead leaves that question in the air.]
[He's right, because even though she's been putting on a show this whole time, not everything she said these past seven weeks were lies.
........]
Well. I am a liar, after all. [admitting it when she's not hiding who she is feels a bit too naked to her, but the fact that she doesn't have a ready made lie is probably answer enough.]
[it's not like he doesn't understand. he has reasons to get back to where he came from, too, with the hopes of going home again someday. but he does grin just slightly.]
I think the thing about hope, Ange, is that it comes in all different forms. Even if people don't understand it. [that is to say...] Don't lose sight of what you're working for, even when you get back. Not that I need to tell you that but...figured the reminder doesn't hurt.
[even if everything else has been a lie, most things, even if this isn't the ange he thought she was...it doesn't change that this is someone with a wish who is doing all that she can to make that wish come true.]
[there's a quiet huff of amusement at that despite the fact he won't look at her then.]
You say that like I don't consider you a friend still. [which i'm sure she absolutely loves.] But believe me, I will. That's the only thing I can do now.

[...and yet...well. there's always time to digest that later.]
Planning to stay up here much longer?
no subject
And then:]
Yes.
This is my new room. It was assigned to me five minutes ago.
[........... obviously uh. that's a lie.]
no subject
Well. You've got a great view. I'm almost jealous.
[the most unfortunate part is that even with her real personality coming into play he's not that bothered.]
no subject
It is all right. I've seen worse views.
[...]
I have a question for you.
no subject
What sort of question?
no subject
no subject
...making sure all of our numbers were met for one thing. Knowing what teams to protect and what teams needed extra help. And being someone that can help keep people going. Among other things.
no subject
That is all I wanted to know.
[She shifts her gaze back to the sky again.
Useless, Ange!!]
no subject
You had a reason for asking, didn't you? What did you expect? [was she searching for a specific answer? he wonders.]
no subject
Before finally:]
Because I am only an extraterrestrial visiting in passing, there are a lot of things humans do and feel that I do not understand.
... This situation has only confirmed that for me.
no subject
As somebody who's met a few extraterrestrial beings and people without hearts? I don't know if I believe that. But if you say so. [he does not believe it in the slightest.]
no subject
i'm crying
it's not untrue]... I suppose they were not from the Black Lizard planet. I cannot speak to the feelings of other extraterrestrials. I have not met them.
no subject
Okay, so...what exactly is the Black Lizard planet? I've never heard you mention this before. [because it's a lie. but tell him anyway.]
no subject
It is the planet where I am from. [uh huh]
It is not a very interesting place.
no subject
[is he going to be stubborn about it to see what happens? yes.]
no subject
She doesn't miss a beat though.]
It is a planet divided by walls. Those of certain designations lives in certain places, and there is very little crossover between them.
It is a cold and unfeeling planet. To survive, you must be able to depend on yourself.
[... maybe not all about a fictional planet.]
no subject
Sounds lonely. [point-blank.] If you can't leave the place you were designated to or whatever, then what happens if you run out of resources? What about meeting other people? Can people ever get past those walls?

... No. You do not need to remind me.
[...]
There are some things I cannot forget. [Even here.]
Focus on yourself, Sora. From this moment on--focus on yourself and your friends.
no subject
You say that like I don't consider you a friend still. [which i'm sure she absolutely loves.] But believe me, I will. That's the only thing I can do now.
