⊕ 02 [accidental voice/action]

[Accidental recording set in the morning of the 28th, post-event.

He awakens with a start, his arm twitching from where it was stretched out to knock his journal -- and his clock -- off of his bedside table. There's a hiss of confusion, followed by the movement of him dragging himself out of bed.]

What... Aqua? [That's right. This was Aqua's room. They had been sleeping in the same bed because of ... another experiment? He's confused, trying to sort through everything that had happened.

Then he realizes that Aqua's room is empty. He's out the door a moment later, but not before his journal picks up his voice one more time.]

Aqua?

[Later on in the day, he can be found in the item store. They can't just wipe out her existence like that, can they? He has to at least try to find something of hers.]

[He nods, not wanting to repeat himself for a third time. He finds some focus in staring at the items in front of him, and he continues lamely.]

I was looking for something-- anything-- of hers. But they took all of it.

That's what happens when people leave...

[But why did they have to take everything away? Even the stuff from Luceti always vanished...

Ven looks down at the floor. This is the worst possible timing...]

[...As much as he wants to focus on his own brooding, Ven's presence reminds Terra that he's got his other friend--the one who had been in danger not all that long ago--to look after.]

It'll be okay. [He puts a hand on Ven's shoulder.] This isn't forever.

Yeah...

[He looks up at Terra with a smile.]

And who knows? Maybe she'll be back before we know it!

[He's not really sure what to think of that for a moment. Then his expression lightens a little.]

Hopefully. If we're going to go home, we should all go together.

Yeah. We're a team!

[But, heh, he'll pull out his Wayfinder.]

But no matter where she goes, we'll always be connected. I'm sure she wouldn't want us to worry too much.

[When he sees Ven pull out his Wayfinder, he looks for his own. There's the slightest, sheepish quirk to his lips as it takes a moment for him to find his own Wayfinder, and he holds it out.]

She would want us to watch out for each other.

Well, I don't know about you, but I think I can handle that.

...I think I can, too. As long as you don't run off too far on me.

Aw, c'mon!

[He laughs.]

I'm not gonna disappear. There's still a bunch of stuff I wanna see here, people I wanna meet... Besides, I'd hate to leave you behind.

Good. I wouldn't want to leave you alone here either. [He pockets his Wayfinder, ignoring that lingering feeling that Aqua would say something similar to that.]

So what do you think? Do you think any of her things are still here? [Or should he give up?]

[He glances around, but when he turns back to Terra, he shakes his head.]

Doesn't look like it. You wanna head back?

Yeah, we probably should. [...] I guess I'll have to reorganize my things, too. [Some clothes had gone into closets, others into Aqua's room...]
