... It shouldn't... [ but she doesn't sound so sure and just. groans in annoyance ] Ughhhh, why does it have to be so complicated?

[reconnective]

Wars usually are. [no one said anything about a war, and yet.] I wonder if you can try talking to the Realm by yourself. See if it answers.

[retellers]

[ none icons for mobile, but swan flops a little ]

Ughhh. This better not really be a war. [ she's not ready for 10 people to fight in a parking lot ] At this point, I kind of have to at least try to talk to it to get some answers. We've lost a lot of people already...

[reconnective]

[throws zia home]

I hope not either. Not again. [he's so tired, please.] I bet if you try though, it'll tell you something. You just have to be open and listen with all your heart.

The Realm can't want this. There's no way.

[retellers]

What if I'm open and listen with all my heart and it still doesn't talk to me?

[reconnective]

Then you keep trying and maybe yell at it a little. [duh.]

[retellers]

[ ... she laughs ] Yell at it? You think that'll work?

[reconnective]

Why not? At least it'd get its attention, wouldn't it?

[retellers]

So, like... [ she sits up and moves away, to scream up at the heavens and not deafen him ] Hey, you! Listen to me already!!

[reconnective]

Yeah, like that! [he's going to lean back to also. yell at the realm.] You can't ignore us forever!

[retellers]

Hey! ANSWER ME! [ that probably sounded a little bit too real angy ]

[reconnective]

[he supports her anger and he just...seems to be waiting.]

...you think maybe it won't answer because I'm here?

[retellers]

Maybe? Also, it doesn't really talk like that.

[reconnective]

Oh yeah. The whole...weird thought thing where it talks in your head. Right?

[retellers]

Yeah. It's.......weird.

[ she got nothing else there. ]

[reconnective]

Kinda sounds uncomfortable. There's no other way to do it?

[retellers]

We get the PHS messages too, but that's about as helpful as it is for you guys...

[reconnective]

Do you guys get the same ones we do, too? Or are yours really different?

[retellers]

Well... We get the same creepy songs you guys do, and we get notified when you reach a new nova threshold...

[reconnective]

...so the creepy songs are just the Realm? Isn't it kind of weird that it seems like it has a personality?

[retellers]

I don't know. I hate those songs, it's like... creepy ghosts or something.

[reconnective]

Do you think maybe they are ghosts? Like people lost to the Realm before?

[retellers]

[ D: she burrows her face in Sora's shoulder ] Ughhh don't say that. That's so freaky. No! People aren't supposed to exist in the Realm, so it's fine!

[reconnective]

[he lets this happen.]

...but aren't we in the Realm, Swan?

[retellers]

Well, yeah, but we keep saying the Realm isn't meant for us. That's why we're holding it together.
