[The feed begins focused on a dark haired boy as pedestrians mill about behind him, but it's not his voice that can be heard first. The sound is noticeably more feminine than that, and likely more familiar to the Port as well.]

Of course it's necessary! Here, everyone can see you now, introduce yourself.

What are you even... what is that thing, anyway?

[apparently nobody really explained the NV to him, from the way he gestures blankly at the camera with noooo idea what's going on.]

It's just a video! It's like, it's almost like a picture, except it keeps showing you for as long as you want it to, moving and talking and stuff. It shows you to other people, too, that's why I said everyone can see you! So you should say hi, okay?

I... what... couldn't you have told me that before, idiot? I'm not interested! Shut it off, do something...!

Hey, don't call me names! Just say hi and tell them your name, I promise it isn't that hard!

I don't...! Fine. If I do this, will you stop bothering me about it?

[There's a sigh, before she moves into the view of the feed, standing next to the taller boy. Though her voice was bordering on annoyance a few seconds ago, it's not hard to spot the broad smile on her face.]

This is my friend Fakir. I guess he's just sort of shy, but he's a really nice person!

[The affection when she turns her head to look up at him is almost palpable as well.]

See! That wasn't so hard, was it? Now everyone knows who you are.

I'm not a nice pers... ugh. Believe what you want.

[he seems to just give up, rubbing his forehead. the things he puts up with for her. but he reluctantly glances up and nods shortly at the camera. that's... probably the closest thing to a hello he'll give.]

[And just as quickly as the smile had been there, a slight exasperated frown takes it's place.]

You are too! Stop saying stuff like that, jeez. [She turns her attention back to the NV for a moment.] No matter what he says, he really is nice! [And then, just like that, the feed cuts.]

It's not like the stuff you have is bad, either! Even if someone messed it up once.

[mirroredmemory]

Well if I ever met them I'd have to tell them off.

You shouldn't mess with seasalt ice cream. It's serious business.

[motioned]

...Ice cream is?

[mirroredmemory]

[Okay that does sound a little silly.

When you put it that way.]

Um... well I think it is.

[motioned]

Why? I-I mean, not to be rude or anything! I guess it's kind of the same as when people have a passion for cooking, right?

[mirroredmemory]

Well... when Roxas and I first started to become friends, he took me to this special place that Axel had taken him and he gave me ice cream for the first time, and then when Axel came back and I met him, the three of us ate ice cream together and that's how we became friends.

So... I guess to me, sharing ice cream with someone special means that you think they're special, and sharing your favourite ice cream makes them extra special. Because it's good, and you love it, so you want the people you love to feel the same way.

[motioned]

Oh! So it's like - because you have really good memories of it?

[mirroredmemory]

The best memories, yes.

That's why it's so important; everything else might change, like the place where we eat it, but... as long as we three have that together, everything's going to be okay.

[motioned]

That's so sweet! It's really amazing that you have such good friends.

[mirroredmemory]

I'm really lucky; I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for them.

[motioned]

Yeah. I know how that feels.
