Part 56: Day 276: Disorder



Video: Snarl of Memories & Riku Takes Care of Xion (Watch this!)


If you're wondering why I put 2 videos together, it's because the second one is just 14 seconds.



This is the first time I actually posted a video flashback about Sora's.



This is a nice* break after Leechgrave. We won't be having any mission today.
*May not be nice to your brain


*Roxas picks up something in the sand*





Roxas sees someone on the island and chases after them.



Xion!



The person removes their hood.



Surprise! It's not Xion. It's a zombie.

You must have known this was going to happen.



Welcome to what is by far the most confusing day in KH Days!



Roxas doesn't know what the fuck.

Because, in your memory,



Roxas still doesn't know what the fuck. Being the most confusing part in a KH Days is a huge feat.

And of course, in those worlds, the only beings you met were the dark kind.



Pictured: The effect of KH plot on most people

The darkest of memories. Your memories of home are gone-every one.



There's static here. This is Riku speaking, by the way.



And Roxas turns into Xion. As if this scene isn't confusing enough.

They're my...



Even knowing that this conversation from Zexion and Riku is from CoM, this is still a very confusing scene

And who threw away those friends? Maybe it's your own actions you've forgotten. It was you who destroyed your home!







What am I here for?



I can't capture it clearly, but Riku strokes Xion's hair here. Don't be a creep, Riku!

Video stops here
Music: Missing You


Meeting Namine signals the end of the mindfuck. That's a first.

You made me a promise.
To look after Sora. I remember.
I'm sorry... I'm not sure I've kept that promise very well.
What happened?
Some of Sora's memories are missing.
How can that be?
They're escaping through Sora's Nobody into a third person-and now they're starting to become a part of her.
You can't get the memories back out?
If they're still separate...then yes, I think so.



I would need to untangle her memory before I could finish Sora's... What was supposed to take months might take years. DiZ would be furious.

So basically Xion and Roxas are killed because DiZ is an impatient asshole. Okay then.

So what's the solution?
If I try to just jump in and rearrange her memory then I risk Sora waking up to find out that nobody remembers him anymore.
I can't do that to him. It's too late either way. His awakening will have to be delayed.

Yeah, the events at CoM also erases people's memories of Sora. Remember that plot point that literally only comes up once in other games?



Unfortunately, the only real solution...is for them both to go away.





That proves some of Sora's memories are inside her. Some inside her, some inside Sora...others inside Sora's Nobody... I can't sort it out anymore. All I can do is pick up the pieces once what has to be done, is done.

All right, then.

Music stops
Video: Roxas Passes By & Xion's Dream


Another 2 videos merged together. That's right, today has 4 videos in total.



The first part is just 14 seconds long. The content is exactly like what the title said.

Music: Musique pour la tristesse de Xion


An actually different sunset!? In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days?!



Is it that I'm not supposed to exist?

No, there's nothing before it. That question just comes suddenly.

Well, what do you want to do, Xion?
I want... I want to be with you two.





I can't... Not the way I am now. But...what would it take for me to be like you?



Video stops here
Music: At Dusk, I Will Think of You...



Twilight Station Tower: 48
Sea-Salt Ice Cream: 86


What, you thought just because today has no mission we won't be getting ice cream?



Been that long, huh?

*Roxas sits down*

I got to go to the beach today for my mission.

Apparently SE is too lazy to make Destiny Island an actual playable world here

There was this girl there who looked kind of like Xionbut I couldn't get close enough to tell for sure. I probably imagined it. To be honest, I'm not even sure today's mission really happened.
I feel like I just woke up from a dream or something.

That doesn't make the flashback any more understandable.

This is gonna sound crazy, but you know how we promised each other we'd all go to the beach?
Well, I think I only saw here there because I wanted her to be there.

*Axel stands up*

You wanna go look for her?
Huh? But Xemnas's orders...
Orders, shmorders. Starting tomorrow, let's use our spare time between work and coming here to try and find Xion.
Okay... Yeah, it's a deal!
