When he next visits her, he does not stop talking.

In any other situation, it would have been almost delightful to hear him confide in her with so much trust, but what he says now is not a matter to take lightly.

As he speaks of himself, of what he knows, and what is frustrating him - what has been frustrating him for so long - she finds herself unable to look up at him, just as he does not face her as he speaks.

"Why am I the only one with no memory?" he asks. There is no answer, and he does not ask for one as he continues asking the questions that have no answer. "And even so, why am I the one with the keyblade? Why me? ...why only me?"

For a while, there is silence - a moment of brooding that seems almost disrespectful to break at any wrong moment.

And then he speaks again:

"I have to figure this out." And he lifts his head, staring straight ahead at the wall he is facing, brows narrowed. "If the Organization can't tell me anything...then I'll just have to find my answer elsewhere."

And then she looks up, and stares at him. For a moment, she can't believe him...she is afraid to believe him.
"...you're leaving?"

"Nothing will be solved if I stay."

There is an ache now, and again she bows her head over her sketchpad. It is on its last piece of paper, but it remains blank. At last, she is not too sure what she is going to draw there.

Finally, he turns to her.

"This is not goodbye, you know. We'll see each other again."

"How-"

"I'm not sure either, alright? But I just know...somehow, I just know it."

And he places a hand over the right side of his chest, where one's heart would be. For so long, he had been told he didn't have a heart, and felt no beat there. But what he feels now, is an unexplainable certainty. The feeling...

"It's a promise, then?"

Snapped out of his reverie, he looks back at her. At last, she is smiling again, though not as radiantly as she usually does.

"We'll see each other again...it's a promise."

He pauses heavily, and then he slowly nods. For a moment, however brief, he almost smiles.

"...yeah."
