[In-person conversations are a lot better than weird, through-the-heart/digital-world ones. It still feels a little strange, though—knowing who she is and the significance of their mutual ties to other people. But all the memories he has of Kairi are good ones, so if he doesn't act like it's weird, maybe it won't be.

No. I mean, she is, but she's still sleeping in her pod. We figured that the Natha split you and her apart the same way they did me and Sora. [Not that they know how that was accomplished.] Axel and I go to visit her sometimes, so her dreams won't be lonely if she has any.
