[ The more that Aerith describes, the more obvious it becomes that she can't be the same Aerith that Sora knows. Radiant Garden isn't a city so much as a castle town, for one thing, and it's also nothing like what the Aerith in front of him is describing right now.

Sora hadn't seen a real city until he got to go to San Fransokyo, though now he's almost used to living one because he's been on this world for so long. Midgar sounds pretty similar to a lot of the megacities here, where people often live on top of each other. Like New Beijing. ]

Man... I really can't imagine that. [ Sora lets his arms fall back to his sides. ] Home for me was a set of islands. [ He tilts his head up toward the glass ceiling of the gardens. ] Got to catch sunlight and play in the water pretty much every day.

[ Though when Aerith mentions that her planet is in trouble, he looks back to her, wearing a frown. ]

What's wrong with it?

[ His first thought is Heartless, but it could be a hundred other things. ]
