Man.

[A pause.]

Has anyone ever gotten that sudden rush, where you remember a whole lot of something all at once? Or you think you remember all of it, but then there's pieces missing...

Hahaha wow I'm dizzy. Okay, sitting down.

Um- well all right, I won't beat around the bush. Nami, Zack? Buffy? Draco? Meryl? What about anybody from home? Luke, Asch?

I don't need help, I'm all right to get to the village myself, but a friendly voice would be nice to listen to for the walk in. Maybe some conversation while I catch my breath. Ah, how about- hm. Your first day here in Luceti; how was it for you?

GUY!

What? Oh c'mon, it was so cute! You were so excited.

[If he did, he would be the first one to have ever brought her up with Tear.]

That was my line of thinking, because for all we know... Luke could go back to a different future than our own. And to share it with him will only cause him distress.

[Oh yes, she has thought about this hard and often.]

[ He doesn't feel worthy. He doesn't feel good enough. She knows these things; she feels them too. It's one of the reasons they're so powerfully drawn to each other, that understanding. ]

... he never wants anyone to worry. [ She smiles, suddenly, sweet but pained. ] He tries so hard to hide when he's hurt, and only helps everyone else... I just end up worrying more, since I don't always know what he's thinking. [ She brushes her hair back behind her ear. ] ... I hope he won't be mad I told you.

It wasn't cute! How was I supposed to know how embarrassing it was, and you just let me run around! You laughed at me!

Yaaa--

[Wow, RUDE. Way to interrupt what would surely be a fruitful gossip-collecting session!]

Oohhh, so it really happened?

[Well, somebody has to.]

Let me know what you find in any case.

Will do, boss.

Ah, sorry, I can't talk about it anymore. Luke's upset with me.

Oh, Luke's not going to know you told me.

[Guy doesn't have a problem keeping things from him, the hypocrite.]

[It's kind of a touchy subject.]

Then it's agreed. We keep it from him.

You? Shut up!

And you too, Anise!

Who else would we be with?

[So, yes. Like a pair of newlyweds.]

[ She's silent for a long moment. ]

... I used to keep secrets. A lot of secrets... I thought it was better if no one knew. Even my best friends. But in the end... it didn't help anyone. It only made things hurt worse.

[ A beat. She can't tell him what to do, or not do. And it is true that Luke would never have said a word. But secrets between friends... best friends... she's learned from experience they do no good. ]

I need to get home. It's late. [ She gives him one last smile. ] Goodnight, Guy.

Boooooooooooooo!

[That is the longest, loudest boo she's let out in quite awhile.]

Guess I'll just have to ask your mother!

[And then she shuts the journal. Later, boys!]

I dunno; we could put out an all-call, maybe. Have just one copy made and keep it in the Welcome Center. It probably wouldn't be that difficult to do.

Ah haha, maybe. It's a nice thing to think, at any rate.

Oh, of course. Wouldn't want anyone to intrude on your alone time.

[Does that count as teasing? Guy will hold that it doesn't.]

Night, Xion. Sleep well.

[Guy watches her leave; it looks like she actually melts back into the shadows, but that's probably just because it's night, and her coat and hair are dark enough to blend in. The smile slips off of his face once he's sure that she's gone.

She's a sweet girl, but in quite a few ways she's exactly like Luke.]

Oh, certainly! The more the merrier, after all.

He will likely never know to ask about it either. [Aside from their fearful reactions at the very thought of losing him, not that she intended to let him in on that any more than he already was.]

... Though I believe you have some knowledge of my first day here.

Probably, but things are still coming back to me. A lot of details are fuzzy right now. Why do you ask?

Well, I'm happy to see you here! Even if we've never met before.

That's awfully kind of you- ah, I don't know your name, do I?

I'm Guy.

Oh! It's nice to meet you, Guy. My name is Seto. [He grins]
