Quick! Something had to be done before this got awkward. Luckily, Sora was no stranger to striking up conversations and chattering on and on with someone he barely knew. That was the only way to become friends with them, right? And he figured it was especially worth befriending Rukia, since she was Kairi's roommate.

"So what was your life like before this?" It was usually a question he didn't ask, since that was in the past and hardly mattered now. However, they needed to kill time. "I never really asked Renji about it, but... I kind of get the feeling he wouldn't tell me." He smiled sheepishly. He had no idea of Rukia would be any more open about it, after all.
