[ The video flickers on and Naminé's looking incredibly unsettled. She's quiet for a while until she opens the door of her room. There, standing in the hallway, are two Meowstics--one female, one male--and a lone Espurr. Kind of like this, with the Espurr right in the middle. Standing. Staring.

Quietly, Naminé turns the camera toward herself. ]

When we woke up, we found them like this. I... I'm not sure why they're doing this.

... Is this normal?

I'm not sure I know what love feels like... um, romantic love, at least.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Well, it's really warm and fluttery and scary, but it's wonderful, too~

[Video]

[shatterings]

Scary... and wonderful?

[ how can that be?! ]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

You'll know that feeling when you fall in love~ It's obvious when it happens~

[Video]

[shatterings]

It just... happens, then?

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Yup!

[She looks all giddy.]

[Video]

[shatterings]

Does it happen slowly... or is it sudden?

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Depends on the person. There's people that take years. And then there's me~ It was pretty sudden for me~!

[Video]

[shatterings]

But it's not sudden for everyone, then? I see...

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

There's stories that it's taken people years! Or not until they are about to die!

[Video]

[shatterings]

[ Naminé has never heard these stories before...!!! ]

I had no idea...

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

You can find those kinds of stories in movies and books~

[Video]

[shatterings]

I haven't seen many movies... and the books I've read didn't have anything like love.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

If I find some, do you want to read them?

[Video]

[shatterings]

Oh! Um, I would like that a lot. Thank you, Rise.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

And if you ever need advice on boys, I'm the right girl for that!

[Video]

[shatterings]

I-I'm not sure there are any I like right now...

[ That's definitely not entirely truthful, but Naminé doesn't want to get her hopes up. ]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

That's okay! Though if you like girls, you might want to ask someone else.

[Video]

[shatterings]

... That's possible?

[ hello Rise you've made friends with a girl who knows exactly zero things about sexuality. ]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Eh? You didn't know that? You can be in love with either or, or both. There's a lot of different types of love. But you don't need to be in love to want to do things like having sex.

[Video]

[shatterings]

[ YOU JUST GET THIS FACE, RISE. ]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

[Oh shi-]

Did I say something wrong?

[Video]

[shatterings]

O-oh, no! I-I just... I've never met someone who spoke so... bluntly about, um... something like that.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Really? I don't see anything wrong with talking about it. It's just sex. Everyone does it eventually. Well, maybe not everyone.

[Consider the asexuals and priests.]

[Video]

[shatterings]

I've just-- I've never-- None of my books-- um...

[ this is so awkward. ]
