[Roxas is rubbing his eye as he clicks on the video.]

Guys, don't look up if you go outside today. Even if it seems like the, uh, rain is done, it could come back. And these things can hurt.

They're good, though. [He pops another one into his mouth and chews it with a thoughtful crunch, zoning out slightly before refocusing on his communicator.]

But I think some of them aren't good for you. I had one before and got all these weird pictures in my head—it was like a city, but not real, because it sort of...folded up. That was cool, but I'm pretty sure candy's not supposed to make that happen.

Just be careful, okay?

They taste like secrets to me. Bitter.

[binarysky]

Secrets taste like chalk and sugar?

[leathered]

And then it's impossible to get the taste out of your mouth.

[binarysky]

I dunno. I bet ice cream would work.

[leathered]

You know, maybe I'll go try it. [ He snorts a little. ] Smart kid, you are.

[binarysky]

Thanks. [Kinda proud now.] Ice cream can fix a lot of problems.

[leathered]

Going to write that one down right now. Roxas's Rule of Ice Cream.

[binarysky]

Credit should really go to a friend of mine. Without him, I never would've figured out how it can make a lot of things better.

[leathered]

I suppose he isn't here?

[binarysky]

No.

He's dead.

[leathered]

But not forgotten. That's good.

[binarysky]

I won't ever forget him.
