... is it strange to sometimes wish you could go home? Even if there's nothing there for you? [ nothing except death, in her case. this isn't hilariously morbid or anything, no. ]

I'm just not sure when or how things got so ... complicated. Is this just what life is like...?

[ Xion is outside today, somewhere a little more quiet. She's sitting on the railing of the bridge that passes over the river between houses 14 and 35, swinging her legs gently as she holds onto the rail with one hand and the journal with her other. It ... doesn't seem terribly safe, but then again, she's used to much higher places. Feel free to startle her from her contemplation. She could use it. ]

[ a quiet laugh ]

It's the sort with more than one answer. Things like emotions can't be explained easily... right?

It depends on the situation, I think.

... I guess that's true. Since what I'm confused about right now is pretty specific. [ thoughtful hum. ]

In that case. . . it might be worth asking a friend.

... [ rather abruptly ] Have you ever had your trust betrayed?

[ SILENCE on this end. because yeah, that's abrupt. and for a moment Allen purely doesn't know what to say. ]

. . . I know what it's like.

... were you ever able to trust that person again, after it happened?

I'm. . . not sure yet. [ a brief quirking smile. ] It's a bit—complicated.

[ slowly ]

If he'd explained—if he'd had good reasons for it, I think that I would have. Trusted him again, that is.

... yeah, it is complicated. [ said with a rueful smile. ] There's a person who betrayed my trust. He didn't mean to, but I'm ... still trying to figure out if I can trust him again.

Does he understand his mistake?

Mmhmm. He apologized, before.

Well. . . if he apologised, and meant it—that ought to be worth something, oughtn't it?

... it does mean something. Of course it does. I'm just not sure ... what to do now. Or how I'm supposed to feel.

You were probably right before. . . there's no one right answer. But you'd still call him your friend, wouldn't you?

[ ... ;; ]

Yes. [ tiny unhappy noise. ] I wish things were simpler. But ... thank you. I think I needed to be reminded of that.

[ ]

Ah, I didn't mean—!

[ why does she sound like that, clearly Allen Walker should be removed from this comforting gig immediately and run away to a land where he need only make shounen hero speeches. ]

It's only that. . . trust doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. Even if you aren't sure of how much you can trust him for now, you can always build on it, bit by bit. So long as you're friends.

[ ... blinking at his sudden retraction. did she say something to make him worry? ]

No, it's okay... I understood what you meant. [ a little sheepish. ] I meant it when I said thank you. Though that's a good point too...

Oh.

[ Well, this isn't awkward at all. ]

. . . You're welcome, then. I hope matters get less complicated for you.

[ it's not for her! she is oblivious. ]

Thanks. And I'm sorry for springing that question on you earlier. Um, what's your name?

Ah, you needn't apologise. I'm Allen Walker. I don't think we've been introduced before, miss. . . ?

Xion. [ she smiles warmly for him, though the little camera. ] It's nice to meet you, Allen.

The same to you, miss Xion.
