[ His voice goes quiet as he processes what Izana's saying. Being true brothers, unlike Arden and Riku, they had memories of growing up together... and that had been something that Machina forgot? Really?
And yet, Machina remembered their time together in the Clubhouse? That was not the kind of answer he expected to get from Izana, not by a long shot. ]
[ It wasn't Machina's fault! Izana knows that, just the way he has forgotten everyone from the village where they lived as children, including their parents. It's how their world works. ]
This place is strange. But I think - I think he'll get his memories from here. Like someone else I know, from a different world entirely so she didn't know me until we met here. She went back and... I think she spent a very long time there, though it was only a few days here, and her amulet was here. When she returned, it took her a little while for memories from this world to become clear again, but they were no longer lost to her.

[ Izana doesn't understand everything, or even much, but it seems like a question to ask before Arden goes haring off on his own. ]

[ He's worried that his Scent isn't going to work right if Riku's....... not awake........ or worse. ]

If that helps, there are no new names on the Wall. None that I can identify as those that come from where you all do.
So He's either in this world, or perhaps like when my brother was missing for a few days. But not... not out of reach.

I'm... glad... I am, it's just...
[ He goes quiet again, but the nerves are clear through the crystal's connection. ]
Your brother wasn't going to forget you, whether he came back or not.

Our memories of those who have died are taken away by the Crystals. When I came here, my brother had not remembered me for many months.
But he remembered when he came back. Not our growing up together. But the time we've had here.

So... maybe...

I think it'll be all right.

[ So he's thankful, at least, for Izana trying to calm him down. ]

I guess we can just and see. And hope for the best, even if it doesn't seem very likely, just now.
Wrap for me
[ A bit of chastising himself for how scared he is, considering how Machina came back. Hope is hard for him to accept, though. Far easier to impart it on others, like Naminé. ]
Thanks, Izana.
