"You were connected to me and Roxas," Lea said quietly. It felt good just holding her like this, even if he was starting to become accutely aware of the cold air and colder flagstones. "And even with you inside Sora, nothing could really erase that connection completely. Even if I couldn't remember you, I could still tell that something important was missing. I kept trying to remember what I'd forgotten; sometimes there were fragments, feelings that would surface, but nothing I could reach consciously. Not without something to unlock those memories."

"And yeah, I've noticed," he said. "Because of the weird way magic works here, we can't summon our weapons or do anything like we'd normally be able to. But back home, you could, and we need all the Keyblade wielders we can get right now. That's part of why we're working on trying to get Roxas back too, without hurting Sora."

"A lot's happened," he said. "And it's kind of an insane amount to try and get memorized. But I'll try and explain. We should probably go back inside first before I do, though; it's cold out here, and I can't make us a fire like I normally could."
