[ There's no immediate recognition, no announcement of his name as she asks him how he's been since they last saw each other. That's Sora's first clue, though he doesn't hesitate to go sit on the bed at Aerith's side as soon as she invites him.

Thankfully, it doesn't take long before she admits to the fact that she doesn't know him. Her comment after that is enough to make him smile, even through that pang of disappointment. ]

[ It's not fair to leave her in the dark, so after a pause, Sora thumps a fist against his chest. ]

The name's Sora!
