when the stranger turns to face sora, his head tilts ever-so-slightly. his facial features do resemble ansem and xemnas. and - that portrait that was in the study. that wasn’t the only thing bothering him. when he and sora were face to face, why did his chest ache so much? something did seem familiar about him, though. has sora ran into him before?
you think he’d remember someone who radiated such a power. quiet, but strong. it reminds him of riku, in a way.. he was just about to ask who he was, and has he seen him before. that is, until the stranger speaks his name. and a shard of memory triggers.
he remembered the meeting this person and riku had when they were kids. he remembered because riku wouldn’t tell him. but he saw riku touch some sort of weapon. but there was more to this, this feeling that resonated through the keybearer.
the reason behind this ache, was because he’s seen him, and it feels like he’s been searching for terra. he briefly recalls those nights where he would dream. they’d be quick and murky, but sora made out his face once. and a girl’s.
and then, in the sleeping world. riku had turned into terra. and kairi into that woman.
how his chest felt back then, sora feels now.
❝ terra... i-i know you. i feel like i’ve been looking for you, and that other person that was with you. ❞
