Memory restoration at 33%.
For some reason, Riku can't get the image of the computer he and DiZ used to fix Sora's memories out of his mind. Hazy images haunt his vision, shadows play at the edge of his memory, laughter echoes in his ears like the sound of the sea.
He can't shake the feeling that his own memory is stuck there, at thirty-three percent. That is, not nearly enough to remember anything, but enough to be haunted by what he has forgotten.
Raven-dark hair, sigh of the tide.
He dreams of her still, in a world without her.
Author: I've got to say, I love those quotes from the endings of Chain of Memories. "Walking this road, without you..." The whole thing could fit the Riku/Xion pairing.
And while playing TWEWY yesterday and thinking about KH3D, the most epic idea ever dawned on me. Nomura-sensei says "there is no concept of death" (or whatever the exact quote was) in Kingdom Hearts. Basically, he has no set afterlife or anything... no one's really died, they've just lost pieces of themselves or vanished, etc. Then 3D comes out and apparently takes place in the "World of Dreams," (which I mentioned earlier as being my new theory as to where Riku and the rest will rescue Xion and the others from, hopefully)... And Neku is there. Neku from TWEWY.
Here's the kicker: The entire plot of TWEWY is all about life and death... Because Neku and the others are playing the Game to return to life. In the trailer for 3D, Neku mentions to Sora that he needs help playing the Game. Implying what? That in Kingdom Hearts, the World of Dreams is basically the afterlife.
I know it's just a theory, and made on a jump of imagination... But it has more support in games that are already out, too. In COM, Riku is offered the choice of "going to sleep forever," and BBS has similar themes (especially with Ven.)
I'm still excited about this idea, though, and I may do something with it even if it turns out to be no more than a theory.^^
Moving on now... Thanks to Amatus for reviewing! ^^I know, right? It's scenes like that that made them my preferred pair. ;) (Guess that means I ought to post it next time, huh? I finished "rivalry," too, though. It's a tough choice... But I think I'm leaning towards the fluffy. I have to say, I love TWEWY. It's... Not only unique, but captivating (and hilarious at times, even.) I want to help the characters so badly. DX I hope I didn't spoil anything with my theory up there for you, but I just had to bring it up. It's... scary, that's what it is. XD, and I understand. I really should be working on a project for the same reason. o.o It's really mostly cause I'm stuck in a math class where people were throwing fruit and water bottles though. I can't focus in that kind of environment... But grades close friday and I've got to finish an already-overdue project and a chapter review. Thank Kingdom Hearts for calculators, huh? (Even though that made no sense. XD.)
And also to MonMonCandie! I recognize your name from the shout-out section in One Hundred Suns. Glad that you like mine. :) And yes, TWEWY is amazing. I've been wanting it for the past two years. I love it so far. (I will admit, though, it was the trailer for 3D that reminded me of it. I'm glad I saw that.^^) And cool that you're in a RikuShi mood. I hope you'll continue to enjoy my drabbles. :D
See ya next time, yo!
