Not a lot. A few have talked to me about it, and they're talking to each other. I know some of the others on the other plane are sending messages as fast as they're allowed, but it might be less than half of you.

If it's the universe playing a joke, I have to find a way to stop working with the universe and stop it from carrying out its plans. That's not fair.

[whitewalls]

Hm... got it.

[ she can't tell if it's better or worse that there's not that many people who do know, considering what the information is. ]

Even if it's true, I don't know how we even decide who should be the last person.

[cyclists]

Well...if you had to pick based on who's still here, who do you think would be a good person to trust for the benefit of all of us? You've been meeting and spending time with people, right?

[whitewalls]

... it feels odd to make that decision.

But if you ignore my obvious biases... everyone likes Shess.

[cyclists]

He seems smart. We don't talk much, but Lune likes him a lot and I trust Lune's judgment. I think he'd do what's best, too.

[whitewalls]

He can't be too smart if he doesn't go to see you a lot.

[ she's biased ]

[cyclists]

[Just. This face.]

...a lot of people want answers, Naminé. And Lune is better at reassuring people that things are going to be okay. He's really smart, so it's not that surprising.

[Things he's not saying: he's aware people see him as a child and go for the adult, so that makes sense to him.]

[whitewalls]

... I understand.

You're pretty dependable too though.

[cyclists]

...would you say that even if you knew there were things I haven't told you yet? Not about here. But...home.

[whitewalls]

[ she tilts her head. ]

About the future?

[cyclists]

Yeah. ...you know I'm the furthest ahead in the timeline or whatever, don't you?

[whitewalls]

Yes...? Axel let me read Jiminy's journal entries on his gummiphone, so I more or less know what has happened.

[cyclists]

...there's something the journal probably doesn't say, because it's after what Axel remembers, too. I didn't want to tell anyone. And I still don't know if it's a good idea, but things have changed here now.

Surviving this is even more important than before.

[whitewalls]

Roxas, what happens?

[ the only thing he's really hinted at is that he's looking for someone. ]

[cyclists]

...has anyone explained the power of waking? Did Jiminy's journal talk about that? [Please say yes, I have no idea how to actually explain it.]

[whitewalls]

[ she nods but

honestly naminé probably would know about that even without that considering everything else she knew but i am pretty sure it's in the journal ]

[cyclists]

...Sora...[How to explain...] He never really mastered it. He used it to bring a bunch of us back, including Kairi, but...now we don't know where he is.

[He's dead, it's fine.]

[whitewalls]

... oh.

[ well.

that's concerning. ]

Is that the last thing you remember?

[cyclists]

Yeah. We all split up to try and find him...and when I left, I got called here instead.

[whitewalls]

Oh, Sora...

[ she's really not sure what to say. ]

[cyclists]

If I do what the universe asks, and I act as a guide for everyone, the universe should give me an answer of where to go next to find him. And that's why I'm playing along.

[whitewalls]

... I see.

[ she sighs. ]

That makes a lot of sense.

[ considering roxas does have a temper. ]

[cyclists]

Wait, which part? [He has no idea what she's thinking, but yes, please praise Roxas for being not as yelly as he could be.]

[whitewalls]

Oh, that's not important.

[ it's fine. ]

[cyclists]

If you say so. [He's shaking his head.] But that's the truth. I told Axel, but the others don't know yet.
