[What..in the world...?]

Back? You've been here before?

[staytunednext]

Perhaps.

[Isn't that helpful?]

I remember being here. I remember the snow and the helpfully mysterious administrator with the not at all suspicious beacon. But how much can any of us trust our own memories? How reliable a narrator are we to ourselves?

[seekthelight]

[Not really.]

I..guess that's fair. I mean, I've had my memories messed with before so it could happen to anyone, right? [Sora no. Don't play along with Cecil.] I've wondered since I got here if this was some sort of weird dream world.

[staytunednext]

Have you tried asking it if it is a dream?

[Wow, Sora, don't you know anything?]

It is, after all, illegal for a dream not to positively identify itself when asked.

[seekthelight]

Well, no, I haven't. I..hadn't really thought to ask, actually.

[Would that even work?]

Wait. What?

[staytunednext]

[What was difficult about that, Sora?]

Perhaps you should try asking then!

[seekthelight]

...I'm not sure it's really that easy.

[..Or is it?]

[staytunednext]

And you will never be sure until you try, even then a true certainty may not be achievable. So many things in life are ambiguous.

[seekthelight]

I..guess that's a good point. Yeah. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

[Why not? What's the worst that could happen?]

[staytunednext]

Then I shall leave you to your endeavours, I hope that the dreams you fear speak to you so that you may find your answers. And I hope that what they say does not live with you in terrified hollow nightmares forever after.

[seekthelight]

Um...thanks! I think.
