And there's never a reason to give up, right? [She's grinning.]

Exactly that!

Well... I really hope your Sora stays here so you all can go home together.

Thanks...I really hope you find a way out of Wonderland, that really can't be good for anybody.

Thanks. [She smiles.] It could be worse. I've made a lot of friends lately, though.

I made a lot of friends here during the time Sora was gone, too. I think that's just how you...me...us? That's just how it is. Who have you met? Maybe they're some of the same people I met here.

I think so, too. Hmm Patchouli's one of my good friends. Actually.. Axel's been and gone a couple of times and he's turned out to be... okay. Mmm if I tried to name everyone, I'd be here forever. [Teases.]

Patchouli? Not the same Patchouli who reads a lot, is she? [She just laughs slightly.] Well aren't you popular? [She doesn't mind~]

It's her. [She grins.] Spends all of her time in the library. At least I know where to find her. [And a blush.] We are, yes.

She's very quiet, but she's nice enough. She's in the library a lot here, too. [She just giggles a little.] Good to know.

She helped me out when Sora left. A lot of people have. [And a gentle smile.]

That's good to hear...I'm really glad you have friends, even if Sora's gone. [That same smile's reflected right back. Kairi's decided she really enjoys...herself.]

They do make things easier to deal with, especially in the aftermath of the events. I don't think I could do it without them, especially Arland. [Kairi agrees with that!]

That's always good to hear. My friends help in the aftermath, too. They're nice to have for support.

It's always good to have friends for support, even if they're brand new ones, maybe even especially then. And it's nearly Christmas. I still have to get Namine something. And Arland.

Namine's with you?

She is. She's doing well. I don't really understand how it's possible, but I guess it's part of the magic of the mansion.

Namine's been here two or three times, but she keeps disappearing and getting sent back. But Roxas and Sora exist separately here, I'm not sure how either.

I wonder... I don't usually like to wish places like this on people, but I guess... Mmm maybe she's having a harder time existing outside your - our - heart here? The Namine in Wonderland has never left since I've been there. I... kind of hope she doesn't. It would break Arland to lose her.

No, I understand...it'd be good for her to be separate and have her own life like Roxas and Sora do, but maybe she does have a harder time.

Who's Arland?

I just hope, wherever she is, she's doing all right. I'm trying to keep her from having anything else bad happen to her in Wonderland. She's been through enough already.

He's... [She pauses and looks thoughtful for a moment.] I'm not really sure who he is exactly, but he looks a lot like Riku last year... well two years ago for me now. The Riku back on the islands before the Heartless invaded and everything happened. I think Arland has to do with the Organization, but he's really nice. He's been a really good friend to me since I arrived in Wonderland and I know he's really special to Namine, too.

I hope so, too. Really, the more I hear about Wonderland the worse it sounds.

...really? What would he have to do with the Organization though?

I think if the queen weren't around, it wouldn't be so bad.

I'm not entirely certain... and Sora never remembers him, so I can't ask him about it. I'd have to ask Riku, Namine, Arland or ... Saix or Vexen. I don't know if Riku would remember if Sora doesn't, it might not be a good subject for Arland and Namine, and I'm not keen on talking to Saix or Vexen again. Saix keeps trying to trick me.

Probably not.

That would make sense...stay away from Saix. He's awful.

It can't really be any worse than here, can it?

I know. I have been, but he knows just how to get under Arland's skin and I just can't let that go. I can't let Saix pick on him.
