   ❛ Huh ? Whadd’ya mean you’ve never had sea salt ice cream b’fore ? Y’know--- you’re reeeeeally missin’ out, Kairi ! ❜ 

    ❛ So, uhhhhh--- Kairi !  I’ve been… I’ve been meaning t’ ask if you’d like to maybe... I dunno, go on a date withhh— urgh ! NO !  That doesn’t sound as good as it did in my head ! ❜

   & tongue clicks with shame ; disapproval ! Kicking up a heaps of sand that dishevels the ocean’s mirror, almost ridiculing this besotted youth ! Who was he kidding– reciting lines to a reflection ? How LAME could a guy get ? ( like a submerging ship, he’s SINKING ) It devours him alive, eroding up his courage to IRRELEVANT bits & pieces of dust ! Not even the practice could alleviate this unwelcome & spiteful force. But, a quarter till seven & she’ll be here– stunning, radiant ( oh, the sun doesn’t stand a chance )… able to halt the beating of that anxious heart & ENLIVEN those frenzied butterflies nestled within his gut. ( not even the most BRAVE OF HEART could prepare himself for somethin’ like this )

   ❛ Say, Kairi--- you ever think about what would’a happened if... we really DID just take the raft ‘n leave ? Sometimes I wonder how... different  things would be. Don’t you ? ❜
