[Voice]

[There isn't much to hear when the journal first turns on just the wind blowing and the soft rustling of the grass surrounding it. Eventually a familiar voice comes up on the other end of the journal, though it's quiet]

...I'm...alive...[a pause] ...why...?

[Action]

[It's been a few hours since the fight between Naoto and Vanitas ended so it's around evening time now.

If anyone happens to come across Naoto, in the forest to the west of the village, she'll be sitting up and leaning against a tree instead of lying on the ground like she was before. With her body as sore as it is, it's relatively difficult for her to move very far.

The blood staining her left side continues to come from the obvious gash in her shoulder though not as badly as before. She's looking up towards the sky and two nice little bruises can be seen on both sides of her jaw from the pressure Vanitas was applying there to knock her out.

Her hat also seems to be missing, probably blew off while she was out cold. Perhaps you'll find it on the way to her?]

I think someone's on their way....[Too out of it to remember]

I fight with a gun...he took it.

Don't try to move on your own. Just wait for them.

Where did he go? Do you know?

I will.

I'm sorry but...I don't know...I passed out before he left. [Cursing herself inwardly for being so weak]

Don't worry about it...I'll find him soon enough. Vanitas has a hard time hiding from me. [It's not exactly a lie, but he's got a feeling this time's going to be pretty rough.]

What would he want with your gun though?

Don't go after him alone. [She cannot stretch that enough and she won't forgive you if you do Roxas]

To use it as a weapon...I believe he finds it's power fascinating..

I won't. [He probably will.]

It's a gun...what's fascinating about it?

Thank you... [She'll keep her eye on you]

Absolutely nothing, it's an ordinary revolver...perhaps he sees something special in a bullets speed and accuracy?

Yeah, sure. [He doesn't doubt this.]

Either that or he's going to break it and rebuild the whole thing. That wouldn't surprise me.

[He better not break it, that gun is special!]

Why would he do that? To dissect it?

He's Vanitas. That's just what he does...ruins things and destroys things. Your gun's replaceable, right?

That's true. [Not her gun sob] Yes, it's easily replaceable. I can use any gun to summon my persona.

...and a persona is...?

A persona is the manifestation of one's personality. They represent you after you have accepted yourself..

...so you shoot yourself and something comes out of you to fight?

[Pft, right idea, wrong game]

Not myself, I shoot a tarot card and my persona then appears...I'll give you a demonstration when I get a gun again.

I wouldn't mind a demonstration once things are better. We'll get you your gun back. Promise.

There's no rush in getting it back. I'd prefer that none of you get involved with Vanitas...

Kinda hard not to when he's our responsibility.

[She just doesn't want to see anyone else get hurt by him right now]

I realize that but...

It'll be fine...trust me. We've got a good idea what we're dealing with.

[Biting her lip]

I just ask that you be careful then...

I will. Promise.

Thank you.

[Hm...should she ask now?] Roxas-kun...I'd like to ask you something, if you don't mind.

...what sort of thing?

Since you're Sora's nobody you may or may not know but...Do you know why Vanitas resembles Sora?
