[It's clearly dark out, so there's a lantern set to the side to illuminate Roxas sitting on the ground. He's got a sleeping Zubat in his lap. Roxas doesn't look too happy about this. Who would be when you're camping under the stars and awoken for no good reason.]

I know not a lot of people are going be awake right now, but here I am.

[He sighs as he pulls the rather guilty looking Shinx of his closer. She's doing her best not to look at her trainer or the camera. This little girl is clearly in trouble for something, and she doesn't want anyone to know.]

If you have a Pokémon that's afraid of the dark, put them in a Pokéball or keep a light on. Else they'll attack the first thing that gets too close to your camp. Which is either you, or this Zubat. At least she was sleeping outside of the tent... Goodnight.

[With that he turns the gear off as the now freed Shinx runs off into the tent.]

They listen to my commands in battle, and Sky is getting better at listening when I tell her not to hug everyone.

[She can't keep the grin off her face.]

Has that been a huge problem in the past?

She doesn't know when to let go.

[Dangers of suffocation are a big thing.]

Sounds like a friend of mine back home.

So, how have you been convincing her to ease up on that?

I explained to her what suffocation was.

[Effective.]

[Must. Restrain. Laughter.]

Well... it's nice to know she understood. But you see? That's what I mean by making sure they understand why the rules are in place. She probably wouldn't have listened if you just told her to stop without explaining why.

But then why doesn't she listen when I tell her to stop singing to the moon?

You've explained it keeps you awake?

Yeah. A lot of times.

So she either doesn't care, or her urge to do it is stronger than her respect for your sleeping schedule.

Hopefully it's the latter...

I think she cares? She'll sing me to sleep when I'm having trouble sleeping.

And yet she wakes you up with that singing anyway. This implies a compulsion, or at least a very strong instinct. It may be very difficult to convince her to stop this.

I think it's all Fuu's fault... but I don't even have her anymore.

Fuu? Which one was Fuu?

Fuu was my Noctowl. She went to my friend Serah when I left.

A nocturnal pokemon, hmmm? That might explain quite a bit.

She used to go outside to sing, but when we got to Celadon, she started singing in the room.

[It's a surprise that no one at the Training Center complained.]

Celadon? Why Celadon? Was it just because it was a big city and she didn't have anyplace to go outside?

I didn't really like it there, and so she and the others didn't like leaving me alone. She stopped signing inside once we left Celadon.

So, her intention was to help you cope, then? What didn't you like about Celadon, anyway?

You think so?

[Hopefully this doesn't sound too bad.]

I felt like I was stuck there. Because the others wanted to keep an eye on me, I think. I only told Naminé that I left.

You mean, with Riku and Sora and their friends? That's... odd. I always thought they traveled around quite a bit.

They do travel a lot. I just didn't like it when we went back to Celadon. It was like being stuck in Violet.

Well, to be fair, Riku does have to run that training center of his. I imagine it takes quite a lot of time and effort.

He could ask the others to help more.
