[memories are a strange thing.]

[on some days, one could stand up from their seat, head out the door with a determined fire in their eyes, and... completely forget what they got up for in the first place. sometimes retracing one's steps doesn't even help. other days, one could have a song from their childhood stuck in their head without any particular reason. it's as if one's brain simply decided to turn on a recording.]

[other days still, you could be minding your own business, when suddenly, bam! something triggers an onslaught of memories you didn't know you had, if they're even yours to begin with. apparently, this phenomenon hurts one's noggin quite a bit.]

[in any case, this may explain why a confused but energetic kid steps out of Mom's house in New Bark Town, 'gear and gear in hand, and... promptly faceplants. for those of you watching the feed, it cuts in when the pokégear hits the ground. this unfortunate memory victim is down for the count for a few minutes-- at least, until that familiar pop of a pokéball can be heard offscreen, and a Girafarig appears on screen to start chewing on his trainer's mess of brown spiky hair.]

[considering where Sora is from, and where he is-- and the Girafarig, too-- this is entirely normal. when the feed finally times out, Sora's awake and coherent enough to try to bat Puddles away. worst alarm clock ever, honestly.]

[Oh boy it's Sora again, he'd better brace himself]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

[by now, he has a... well, he's definitely aware that there was both a lapse in time and his memory.]

You've been okay, Ven? Sorry it's been a while.

[This is grounds for Ven to be just a wee bit derped]

You know my name this time?

Well-- yeah, you carved that Keyblade for me, remember?

[Gonna stare at Sora like he's a space alien]

... ... ... Ven?

You really remember me this time?

[He won't wibble or anything, he promises]

Of course I do! I wouldn't forget you. Ever.

[Oh his heartstrings ;; Okay give him a sec, he's gonna duck offscreen for his sniffles. Lil' bro remembers him]

[noo, don't do that, big bro! but Sora sits there quietly, patiently. he'll wait for Ven to come back.]

[He's back after a little while. His eyes totally aren't red...mostly. Perhaps the smile will be distracting enough]

Well...welcome back, Sora.

Thanks, Ven. It's good to be back.

[he won't comment on the red eyes, though his own are maybe looking a bit watery. he can't help it.]

You've been all right the past few months?

[Clearly they can't resist the sap]

Yeah, I've been alright. How're things back home?

[Mostly, anyway. But with his arm all healed up he figures he can get away with not mentioning that, or the memory loss]

Same as it's always been, I guess. It doesn't really feel like I left here at all.

[you are going to tell him eventually though, right big bro?]

It doesn't? Guess it's different from Hope.

[He'll probably have to, considering it adds an air of awkwardness to how he behaves around certain girls]

It was... time passed when he went home, too?

Johto's so weird.
