After leaving a note saying she'd be out for a few hours but back before sirens, she heads out of the mansion towards Joe's apartment. She'd decided hours before departing that today would be the day she told him. Though the idea makes her nervous, she's certain she trusts him enough to know he wouldn't overreact.

As she approaches his door, she takes a deep breath before knocking, making sure she looks presentable.

"Joe, it's me!"

And there it is again, that funny-warm feeling similar to the one he felt at this same counter two months ago, after Christmas.

...It's funny, how people become important. The heart really can grow, even when there's darkness, and even when it's contents are taken out and put into a soul gem.

"So it's true, though.... that when you go back home, you don't remember anything from here? Is that right?"

[motioned]

She leans down onto the counter with a sigh, resting her face in a hand as she stares down at the tile discontentedly.

"Yeah, it's true. It's not fair that they can do that kind of stuff to us. Or, that the Core can, I guess. I wish it was different."

"I don't like the idea of anybody forgetting." Joe sighs in agreement,leaning hyis elbows against the counter.

"Oh ... so how did you like your ice cream, anyway?"

[motioned]

"It's kind of sad to think that all the friends I've had here who've gone home won't remember me at all." She agrees, but instantly perks up when he mentions the ice cream. She straightens up with a smile.

"It was really good! How'd you learn to make it like that?"

[madeinoblivion]

"With the machine-" Joe nods his head behind them, at the second largest appliance besides the fridge. It was an industrial quality ice cream maker, and a bit out of place. "A manual came with it, when we got it from this old restaurant that was getting rid of kitchen equiptment, and Riku taught us how to do some of the basic flavors, and then we've just been testing out new things. Strawberry, we learned to make the first summer we came here. "

"The other stuff you mix in later. Or it'll just clog up the machine, the pieces."
