[Voice -> Action; Private to Wash]

[salvagedlight]

Uhh... Agent Washington?

[If Wash is any good at reading tone of voice, he'll be able to tell that Ven-or-Roxas is nervous. After Wash's reaction to the unconsciousness happening the first time, he's pretty sure the man won't be too thrilled to hear it happened again. But at the moment, he's the best chance Ven has, really.]

You said you had some problems with your memory, too. Do you... think we could talk?

But he told you specifically what happened, and that triggered the memory.

[That's something to consider, at least, and Wash falls silent for a few moments, trying to see the thought to its logical conclusion.]

It's possible that similar content - seeing or hearing something that's in your memories, even if you don't know it is - is what triggers you. If that's the case, you probably have memories of Twilight Town. It would explain why the whole place is a trigger.

Though the only person you know of who'd know for sure is someone you don't want to ask. [Everything really does come back to Xehanort.]

[And Ven shakes his head at that summation. He didn't really phrase that well.] Sorry - he didn't actually say that... he was what he was and part of me and all of that. He said... [There's a small pause as he tries to remember the exact words the masked boy had used.] He said, "You used to be too broken to talk back."

[Another pause, slightly more uncomfortable.] No one had ever called me "broken" before. The three fairies, they recognized that I was like Aurora, but no one had ever said there was anything wrong with me. I guess that word tripped it, because I remembered how he broke me. I guess... I guess that's what's happening with Twilight Town, too. Nothing that's come back to me is bad, but it's the only thing I can think of that fits. I think I lived there, before Master Xehanort and the Keyblade and everything.

I can't remember why I left, though.
