DAY 368 ~ Seashell
(Chapter 5)
The images of the girl and the seashell thing appeared again in my dream. As soon as it did, I woke up and found water on my face, again. While wiping it off, something caught my eye in the corner of the room.
I walked over and picked it up. It was a seashell! But where…?
More images, memories, came up, and I knew this was one from the girl. One she had left behind when…
-----
I woke up and found myself on the floor of my room.
"What time is it…" I wondered. But when I looked at the clock, it said it was mid-afternoon.
I ran down as fast as possible to get my mission.
"You're up late," Saïx commented. "Let's hope you'll finish your mission."
I simply nodded and accepted the mission plans. That day's mission was once again in Twilight Town, to fight a giant heartless.
I found it out in front of the clock tower. It was only an Avalanche, and I managed to beat it pretty quickly.
Afterward, on my way back to the Dark Corridor, I stepped on something. Looking down, I saw that it was a…part of a seashell? It seemed to match the one I had.
Another memory flashed through my head. She…disappeared, in my arms and left only this shell…why did she disappear, though?
Most of that was forgotten after that flashback, too. I only knew that the shell had been her's in the past.
The shell that was in my possesion.

"You look glum," Axel commented when he came up on the clock tower. "Did something happen?"
I sighed. Should I tell him or not? That was what I had to wonder every day. "Its the girl…the one I mentioned yesterday. I keep…
remembering things about her."
"Huh," Axel stared down, maybe thinking about what I said. "So what do you know about her so far?"
"I know…that she was our best friend," I began. "She was in organization. We sat up here and ate icecream together, the three of us. And…I found a seashell in my room.
It was hers…I wish…I wish I could remember more."
"Well…why don't you look for answers?" Axel asked. "Saïx might know something."
"Saïx wouldn't listen to anything I'd have to say," I sighed. "He trusts you more."
"Do you want me to ask him, then?"
"If you would," I said, "That would be great."
