[ Rapunzel appears through the bracelet looking a little worse for wear. She gives a soft sigh and small awkward smile to the bracelet feed. ]

Hey um... I know this is going to sound a little crazy, and maybe I'm just tired or something but...

[ She frowns and starts fidgeting with her hair a little. ]

Has anyone else been hearing... strange noises? No, not just any noises but... sad noises? Like reaaally sad noises? I've been hearing them for a while now and I've gone out searching, but It's like it's impossible to find the source...

[ She faces the bracelet again. ]

I just... I want to see what's wrong. See if I can help maybe. Anyway, that's all I wanted to ask.

[...!]

I don't think anyone's told me that before. [But gosh, she can't help laughing to herself.] That's very kind of you. I'm not so sure I wouldn't disappoint you but I suppose I should give you a chance to find out for yourself whether it's true.

[goldensprout]

I just hope I don't disappoint you.

[lethechained]

I'm sure you won't.

[Goodness, though, how to bring this up?]

You didn't last time.

[... Sure, okay, go with the weird vague way. Dangit, Naminé.]

[goldensprout]

Last time?...

[ She frowns at this text ]

Were we... friends before too?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

We knew each other. I didn't see you very often but I was glad to when I did.

[And of course she should probably ease the situation.]

I'm sorry. I know it can be a lot to take in. [Not everyone handles the whole 'you (or some iteration of you) were/was here before but you don't remember' thing well.]

[goldensprout]

It just makes me feel bad because I don't remember anyone. I feel like a bad friend or something.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

You're not a bad friend. You didn't choose to forget. [... Wow, gotta not think too hard about that one.] You haven't done anything wrong. Now you can just get to know everyone over again, if that's what you want to do.

It is! It really is! I want to learn everything about them! Their favorite color! Their favorite smell! Their favorite food! Do they like standing or sitting better! Wet or dry! Everything!

[lethechained]

[... Gosh, Rapunzel, you're quite a girl.]

Then all you can do is try. I'm sure they'll be happy to be friends with you all over again. [And probably get a laugh out of the questions, too--] You might want to be careful about asking all of those at once though.

[goldensprout]

It was a little much, wasn't it?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

A little. But I'm glad you're so enthusiastic. Hopefully they will be too.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

I really hope so.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Well, they liked you before. I think that's a good sign, don't you?

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

I just hope I live up to what they remember.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Even if you might have different memories you're still the same person at your heart. I believe in you.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

You're a great person.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[--!]

I don't know if I'd say that. I've made a lot of mistakes just like most people do.

[Except they were worse ones.]

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

And you can admit you've made them.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[--Hah!]

Is that all it takes to be a good person?

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Im sure you feel bad about those mistakes, right?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Of course. [They were pretty darn big ones, after all, and they hurt a lot of people - but she bites her tongue on that part, for now.]

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

And something tells me you're the type to try and fix the mistakes too.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[... Welp. Can't really argue that.]

When they're mistakes as big as mine, you don't really have much choice.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Some people might run away from them though.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

That's true.

[Oh boy, does she know it. It's just a little harder to when one's mistakes might, you know, help cause the destruction of the worlds.]

That happens all the time. [But,] Some mistakes are easier to run from than others.
