Let's See What's In The Cards (Mmhm)

[missrecalled_mods]

The weather was still bitterly cold, and the snow was still thick on the ground, but it was finally possible to at least go outside by the front doors. The King and Queen have still forbidden anyone from staying overnight at the museum district in case it started snowing again. But the King could be seen outside trying to shovel snow enough to make a path to the castle at the least.

The snow was still too thick to get easily anywhere not shoveled, and the snow was so heavy that even beasted out, Ben needed to take constant breaks inside to sit down and dry off. This wasn't going to be a fast task.

It was only made harder when it started. For those who slept, it would start after they have fully awoken for the day. For those who don't sleep, they'd find that they had fallen into a pleasant daydream, even if it wasn't normal for them to do so. When they came out of it, that was when it would start for them.

But what is it, exactly?

Small snippets of memories, playing for anyone who was with the person remembering to see. But the thing was, these memories... were memories the person had not yet made. Memories of the future.

Not enough to give answers, probably not enough to give reassurances for much other than "oh hey, I do have a future after all," but generally pleasant, and short. Hey, it will give people a thing to talk about, at least. Especially since this will go on for the next two weeks or so.

"Take all the time you need," she said softly. "I'm here with you."

It was both reassuring and discomfiting. He didn't like people to see him like this. He wanted to hide away, keep this ugly part of himself a secret, but he couldn't stop finding comfort every time somebody stayed. Cor, then Noct and the guys, Aqua. He didn't deserve it, didn't know how to see in himself what they saw in him that was worth staying for.

He sat for a long moment in silence. Eventually, with his forehead rested against his knees, the word barely loud enough for her to hear, he asked; "Why?"

"Why?" she asked gently. "Why what, my friend?"

He didn't look up at her. "Why are you still here? Why do you care? I don't-" He shook his head into his arms.

"I care because we are friends," she said gently. "Which is why I am still here as well."

"I... I'm glad we're friends, Aqua. Even if Noct and the guys aren't here... I'm glad I got to meet you. I just- I miss them so much."

"Missing friends that are not here in no way detracts from the friends that are. I miss Ven and Terra and so many others as well," she said, gently. "But I think that they would be glad that I have you and Lea and Mallia and so many others to take comfort from when they cannot be with me."

"It is nice to not be alone. That would be worse... Even though now I'll have all of you guys to miss when I get back home."

"How much you miss someone is just a sign of how much they meant to you. It isn't so much pain... as memory, when you think of it that way. Besides... the realities are infinite. No parting is ever guaranteed to be forever. As long as you live, you can look forward to seeing those you miss again."
