Right...Okay.

[A pause.]

That's the lantern we have to protect. At all costs.

[arsarcanum]

[ Another silence, then a more affirmative noise. One with more weight. ]

The soldier told me that there's a doctor in the church who could bring him back if I bring her the lantern. I'm going there pretty soon. But I'm gonna go to her first. [ She's the one waiting, after all. She doesn't usually remember to wear enough layers out in the winter. She'll get cold fast. ]

[sublimebeast]

The doctor can bring people back?

[A thoughtful pause. There's still so much he doesn't understand and his lack of confidence in the tablets doesn't help him.]

I'm talking about the Bonfire. We were right about it.

It is a lantern and we have to protect it...

[There's a rustling sound.]

We can talk about that later, though, go meet your friend.

[arsarcanum]

[ The lantern... is Beacon's? Sora thinks about this for a moment, but oddly enough, it all comes together quite easily. If a world has a heart as real as any other person's, why can't Beacon have one too? ]

The Bonfire... is Beacon's lantern. It's the lantern that we have to protect. [ He repeats this as though he's trying on a new shirt. It feels right. ]

Yeah. Yeah, we should talk about that later. [ His voice goes soft (and maybe a little husky from all of the stupid crying he finished a few minutes before.) ] I'll see you later? Soon!
