[ she leans up to kiss him. ]

You are always you. It's not your fault if this place messes with you and shakes things up a lot.

"Welcome back" doesn't really fit.

[robopriest]

Heh.

[He kisses her back, sweetly, before tucking some of her hair behind an ear.]

I appreciate you looking out for me, no matter what...though you really should've prevented me from eating so many corn dogs.

[chanteuser]

I don't think I could've stopped you eating all those corn dogs even if I'd wanted to.

[ just say it like it is, alex. ]

[robopriest]

[He smirks.]

Well, you would've been given points for effort?

[chanteuser]

[ she smiles a little at that. ]

That’s like a trophy for participating. I’ll pass.

...

So. After everything we’ve all gone through to get here, what are we supposed to be doing next?

[robopriest]

Haha, fair enough.

[And at that question...his expression grows serious.]

Fighting a monster, I imagine.

[chanteuser]

[ oh good. ]

Right.

... I wonder if what Sora and I saw all those weeks ago was the monster. Or if it was something else. [ not that that fills her with any sense of relieve or comfort -- there had been painfully little she was able to do against that thing. ]

[robopriest]

[He shakes his head.]

I think it was something else. When I asked Tiger, she looked at me like I had grown another head. I don't think it has to do with anything with the monster. Maybe just someone's memories.

[chanteuser]

Someone's memories that can shift to target people individually like that? It was pulling directly from our heads, Hansa. That's something I've only seen the Realm do.

[robopriest]

[Hm.]

I don't know...I just know that Tiger doesn't think that's the monster, but she could be wrong.

[chanteuser]

... I guess we'll find out either way, if we're seeing this all the way through.

[ whether they want to or not. ]

I hope she's right though. I don't want to see that thing again.
