[Sora hasn't been able to pinpoint why he's been so restless today. Why he hasn't been able to sit still (Riku and Kairi noticed pretty quickly. "Why so antsy, Sora?"). Or even concentrate on anything (Feels like too many things going on).]
[But when his SFC bleeps and a new message comes up on screen, everything just gets...]
[There's no reply, at least on the SFC. The only response is a tear falling down Sora's cheek. But, if Sora reaches out, tries to call out to the wayward heart...]
[He wipes at his cheek, surprised. Then looks down at damp fingertips.]
[What is this? Is he...crying?]
[He shakes his head.]
[There are no words as he sits by himself in the living room. Just vague feelings. A need to reach out. A need to connect. Most of all, he wants to understand.]
[Sorry, but when you have no physical body here... emotions are expressed through the host, it would seem.]
[He'd been forgotten for so long... that Sora finally hearing him- but it wasn't too long ago for Sora, for the other him, was it? It was all so weird to try and think about.]
Yeah... I faced Vanitas again, and even though I defeated him... we're both going to be gone for a few days.
I think... I went back to fight in the Graveyard, too. Remember, when I first appeared here and was frozen solid?
[He really doesn't know how or why this conversation is taking place, but what's being said is far more important than either of those things.]
[He remembers their first meeting, and vividly so. It's hard to forget.]
[But the longer Ven goes on, the more his heart sinks. He told Ven not to. Warned him. Facing Vanitas is the last thing Sora wanted his friend to do. And now...]
[If you beat him, how come you still have to go away? I don't get it...]
I don't know. When Vanitas collapsed... there was this really strange tugging on my heart. Like half of it wanted to go with him. Then I felt it- his fear and sense of betrayal.
I can't say I get it either, just... It happened. The moment I dealt the finishing blow was the moment I signed the death warrant on us both.
[Yes, he is feeling rather guilty about it. Hence the restlessness you were having earlier. ...Sorry, man.]
But... maybe now we'll find out why he looks like you and why Roxas looks like me.
[He has so many questions about that, about why they looked like each other and how they were connected. But he doesn't have the heart to ask. How could he after find out that Ven's...
[voice/message to the heart]
I'll be back soon, and... maybe I'll find out why I'm able to send this to you even though I'm gone.
[voice/message to the heart]
[But when his SFC bleeps and a new message comes up on screen, everything just gets...]
[Quiet.]
... Ven?
[voice/message to the heart]
I'm here.
[voice/message to the heart]
[What is this? Is he...crying?]
[He shakes his head.]
[There are no words as he sits by himself in the living room. Just vague feelings. A need to reach out. A need to connect. Most of all, he wants to understand.]
Going ... to sleep again?]

How long will you be gone?
[voice/message to the heart]
[He can sense that slump, and... the questions are mutual. He wants to know the reasons why, too.]
Don't feel sad on my account, okay? Friends always stay together no matter what.
[A small gust of wind, like someone's pressing a finger to Sora's chest.]
Right here.
[voicemail]
[Eeep... hangs up... He's got no idea of what to say anyway.]
