seasaltkeys | Day 31 Part 2. [Audio/Action]

I think it's a bit different. They...they wouldn't know who I am at all.

Is there no way for them to regain their memories of you?

I dunno.

[That's where things get complicated. And Roxas isn't exactly the best at explaining]

Do you have another common acquaintance that could help you set things straight?

I don't think so. It's a difficult situation.

...And starting over would also be complicated?

Yeah, it would.

[But he wants to see them, and be friends with them again. Why is everything so difficult?]

What are the chances of them remembering you?

[It takes a bit of fiddling but he finally enables the private function. This is for Cecil's eyes only]

Pretty much none. They weren't....the people I knew....they, they weren't real. They were just...data, copies, made to mimic them.

[...Well, that certainly complicates matters even more than he thought.]

Even if they are copies, does it necessarily mean that they are not real? They could merely be considered different versions of the same person.

They were real enough, when I knew them. But, I don't really know.

In that case, they could just as well b the ones to find themselves here, instead of the originals. Johto is not very picky, when it comes to choosing newcomers.

I hope it's them. I...really want to see them again.

If only we could find a way to influence which people are brought here...

That would be nice.

[Except he's skeptical]

If the rumors are true, we should be able to find out more about it after we earn all eight of the badges, right?

[...Six out of eight. He could get the last two quickly, share that information with everyone...]

Yeah, I guess that's all we need to do.

[Halfway there for him]

...I could be done within the month, if I manage to convince my friends to travel.

...You don't have to rush. I guess I'd kind of like to do it myself.

But it'd be best if every trainer was doing it. Besides, I have quite a few people from home to return to their times, now.

[It amounts to a shrug. Roxas really has no desire to leave. Especially now, since he's been around for another year.]

People who wish to return, people who wish to stay... I wonder if there are people who know of this world and wish to come to it?

Everyone always seems surprised when they end up here. I don't think that's the case.

Yet I spoke to a few people who knew of Pokémon long before they found themselves in Johto. Knowledge of this world must have spread somewhere.

It must have. I wonder how.
