[For once, he's almost glad that they were instead of a hindrance or a couple strings used to tug him around like some stupid puppet. The relief is probably visible in how he almost loosens up for a moment, until he suddenly looks at Ven with the most perplexed look he can muster. If he didn't know them, then how-
...Oh. Oh.]
Sounds like Sora, alright. [He's silent for a moment, before he simply shrugs.] If that's the case, then I guess we're in the same boat.
[Ira sighs, shaking his head. Honestly he probably doesn't fully understand Ven's situation, but the obvious parallels are a bit jarring. So, maybe an explanation was in order.]
When I knew Sora, we were both being strung along like puppets by the Organization, hoping they could gain him as a pawn to do their dirty work. Even when we learned that our memories had been replaced by fake ones, he still wanted to help the person they forced to mess with the real ones. Probably would have let her smash his heart so she wouldn't be hurt... had I not awakened when I did.
[Yet despite how heavy the conversation is, he finds himself smiling.]
Now that I think about it, maybe it was just him they were trying to string along. I was made to be their tool who embraced the darkness his real friend feared, after all. And when he wakes? Well, I doubt he chose to keep a bunch of fake memories when he was offered the chance to regain what he'd lost in Castle Oblivion.
