[The journal turns on with a little crash, revealing... the ceiling. Yes, very exciting.]

Stop knocking things over!

[A small, furry black face saunters over to the journal, sniffing curiously. It meows. And then, turning, flops over right on top of it, covering the camera.]

Hey, cat, get off that, it's not your damn bed.

[A small trill, and the fuzzy thing rolls over, revealing a mildly irritated redhead.]

...What the hell? You actually turned it on? Hey, dreck, the cat's from the Dawn Age.

[His tone is even mildly amused for that one. He brushes the kitten off the journal, picking it up and half-closing it. Before it shuts, he reconsiders, then grabs the pen and scribbles out a note.]

[Written / Filtered to Dist]

I need to talk to you.

[There, that's good enough. Back to the whiny, needy little monstrosity who has moved on to making his own water dish into a cat bath. Surprise! Luke brought home a kitten for his very disgruntled original. What a wise decision this was, eh.]

That's not true at all! Cats make great pets if you take care of them properly. They'll sleep in your lap and keep mice out of your house, and petting them is a good way to relax. You don't need to take them for walks like a dog, either.

[...] They live for a long time, don't they?

If you take care of them, I think they can live for as long as twenty years.

[ISN'T THAT GREAT, ASCH?]

[Oh yeah, great. His cat's life expectancy is ten times his own. He's thrilled.]

I won't be here that long, so eventually it'll have to live on its own.

You could always take it back home with you when we leave.

...Hm. [Oh good, then he can be the dead cat they find in collapsed Eldrant, crying over his corpse. It'll be super dramatic and everything.]

... Asch?

What? [Sorry, was he lost in thought for a minute there? He was only dwelling on the SUDDEN AND IMMINENT DEMISE WAITING FOR HIM AT HOME.]

Are you okay? You seemed kind of sad.

Don't be stupid, I was just thinking. [As if he'd announce that sort of thing publicly anyway.]

... you know, you could always come back home with me if you wanted to.

[dkjfdf where the hell did that even come from]

What are you talking about?

Well, I mean, if you don't want to take the cat with you because you don't want to go home, I just thought--!

I never said I didn't want to go back to my world.

Then why...?

I didn't say anything. Don't make assumptions out of nothing.

I'm sorry, I just thought...

Just forget it. You already have my answer, so that should be enough.

Oh...

... can I at least come visit you?

What, to see the cat?

[...]

No, I meant to see you.

Wh- [Does he really seem that pathetic, seriously? This better not be a pity visit.] Why would you want to do that?

Because I want to go visit all of my friends in their own worlds. Roxas said there's a way to make pathways between different worlds so we can still see each other.

[.....Oh. Oh, he meant-

Shit. Well that's not troublesome at all.]

You think that's really possible?

That's what he said, and I don't think he'd lie about something like that.
