[The blond pops up on the screen with a background that is clearly not anywhere in Kanto. Heck, to the trained eye it's clearly Goldenrod. The Goldenrod Department store roof to be exact. Of course he'd find the tallest building in the entire place before anywhere useful, like a hotel.]

I got a question!

[He adjusts the screen as something off screen gets his attention.]

We can do that later, Demyx. [Attention back to the viewer.]

Are you supposed to tell people before or the day of that it's your birthday? Because I forgot to do it before leaving! I picked today! Sorry, Naminé and Xion. I was gonna tell you! I swear!

[His gaze drifts off of the screen before flicking back to the feed.]

Oh yeah! Where's the best place to take bird Pokémon in Goldenrod?

[ACTION]

[Roxas turned off the feed and stood there watching the sky for a while. Goldenrod wasn't as nice with the circus not in full swing. That had been fun. Maybe he could find something just as fun for his self-made birthday. Rin wouldn't be here for another week at least, so Roxas will take his time exploring.

He tells his Pokémon not to fly off too much in case he needs them, heading down to the bottom floor of the store to exit. Maybe he could find that Honeyed Soul place and get something sweet for himself. You're supposed to have cake, right?]

I don't know what a Honeyed Soul is supposed to look like...

Yep, all the time. Since I was born.

When dogs start howling in the dead of night about how much they want a mate? I hear that.

... I don't want a power like that. It's hard enough when Fuu and Sky decide to sing to the moon at night. I don't wanna know what they sing about.

Oh, don't get me wrong! I think it's a great power! I'd be miserable if I lost it.

Yeah, but doesn't it get annoying?

Well, yeah. Same as breathing gets annoying when you smell something gross.

Doesn't mean I want to stop breathing forever.

That's true... I guess you're used to it. It's different.

Yeah, exactly!

You'd get lonely if you stopped being able to talk to people, right? So would I, if I stopped being able to talk to animals.

Do you like talking to animals or humans more?

Animals! Definitely. Far and away. Animals, 100%.

Humans are okay, but they have sort of a bad track record with me.

Humans aren't that bad. Not the ones I've met here, anyways.

[Being a real human is weird.]

Yeah... I'm starting to see that the ones here are better.

But almost everyone at home? I could do without 'em.

Uhm.. can't really say anything about back home. I like it here a lot more.

Eh? What do you mean, you can't say?

My world... wasn't actually real?

...

...huh?

[He tries so hard to wrap his head around that, but it doesn't happen. Roxas' world isn't real? What's that supposed to mean?]

It wasn't real. I guess it was made to keep me in like a weird prison.

So, what, they made you hallucinate or something?

Those are always fun! Even when they drug you.

N-No! I wasn't drugged!

They literally created a world to stick me in! Like a prison!

...Wow. That is dedication.

I thought I'd been through every kind of torture known to humankind, but making a whole new world is a new one.

[He stares now. Intently. Torture.]

How can you keep smiling?

I guess I'm just a smiley person.

Also, it was funny to see their reactions when they realized I couldn't feel pain anymore.

... y-you can't feel pain?

I can now. But before, I got beat up so hard that my nerves just kinda threw in the towel.

[He's still smiling about this, somehow.]

... I still don't get how you can be happy.

It just kinda happens. I'm like this naturally, you crow?

[Untrue. He's so happy mostly because he tries not to think about it too hard.]
