008 Connection ✎ Video

[It's been a while since she's really been on the network, and though she still doesn't know about Xion's panicked call from a month ago, she's been laying low in general. Little by little she's been trying to become more sociable, especially now that school  and her exams are finished.

So now she's focusing on something else, and it's come to her attention as she sits in a chair at Kahve, that it's been about a year already.]

Newcomers are coming in again. Hopefully things will be a little easy for them as they settle in.

But, I just have a question for those that have been here longer. Have your goals or dreams changed so much since you got here? Did you achieve things you never would have dreamed of?

[She's feeling sentimental, but thinking about the year she spent and all the things she's done now, it's got her thinking about other people too.]

People are generally too weak to bother fighting for them.

You're wrong. They might just not know how to fight for them.

[it's kind of funny how accurate Naminé is to his own situation.]

[just toss that in the pile of secrets Vanitas will be taking to his grave, but unlike the rest of people out there with "dreams," he's already working on a plan for his.]

That's exactly why they're too weak.

And you're not?

[It's not meant to be a cheap shot or anything at all. Genuinely, she's curious about this. Surely, he has to have some dreams, aside from the X-blade.]

Are you implying that I'm weak?

[Does he remember his previous time here?]

No. But I am curious why you think that way about dreams.

You must have one too. But you believe so harshly in them.

[he does, though he can't be spouting off about how disinterested he is in what was once his dream for four years. certain eyes might be watching.]

It's not a belief, it's thinking realistically. People are weak by nature. Less likely to chase a dream if there's any ounce of struggle in it, because it's easier. Less painful.

Surely you've done things just because it made existing easier for you, too.

[Certain eyes like hers. She has to be careful herself, even if she doesn't know if he remembers or not. Vanitas would be the type to relay or manipulate information, so she needs to keep up the facade of a regular human girl.]

I have, and I realize it. Its a human trait. But just cause they might pick a different path or not fulfill it, it doesn't mean that a person is weak. There could be other reasons for it.

Got any examples to back that up?

[lkjhgf she feels cornered now.]

None that I'd be willing to share.
