"A-Ah... Alive? That's..." Kanzaki began, somewhat confused by Ven's words. They were alive? Hmm, it would definitely seem as though they were in a completely different realm than before, but still... The fact that none of them had been reunited with the rest of the large group initially led her to believe that they were still among the realm of the dead. Of course, that would mean Ventus would be dead too, but if he didn't know anything about himself being dead, then... Well, for all intents and purposes, was she alive again?
"Well, after I was... "murdered," I underwent a strange adventure with this young man," Kaori said, clearing her throat as she would attempt to compose herself, "Some less than pleasant experiences, like being turned into animals and forced to acquire some items like a game of sorts. One in bad taste. We were even stripped of our powers, making it all the more hard."
...
"A-Ah, that is, our powers and weapons were taken away, thus making it more difficult to fulfill our objectives. Nothing else."
"If there's proof that I'm still dead somehow, it's that this place with you people couldn't possibly be anything other than Hell."
Supportive as always.
With that being said, he quietly continued walking forward. No time like the present.
"In any case, our misadventures led us here, which in turn begs the question... How did you get here? Nobody hurt you, did they?" She asked with concern, putting a hand on Ven's shoulder.

Sensing the confusion in her voice after hearing his question, Ven frowned. "Oh, you don't think you've come back to life then? I never died myself, so I don't understand how we could've ended up back together unless you came back to life." The young man shrugged. "But I could be wrong, I guess. I've been pretty confused during this entire adventure."
Ven sighed. "Wow, that sounds rough. Sorry to hear you had to go through that. I wish I could've been around to help you or... prevented you from dying so you never would've had to deal with all of that stuff in the first place," he replied, sadly glancing downward at his feet for a moment.
Clearing his throat and tugging his collar, Ven continued to sheepishly stare at his feet. "Uh, yeah, powers and weapons weren't the only thing you were stripped of, apparently." Why the heck had Kanzaki been naked anyhow? Maybe he didn't want to know...
Glancing up at the other young man with Kanzaki, Ventus offered him an awkward smile and a wave. "Oh, hi there, I'm Ventus, Ven for short. You're a friend of Kaori's?" he asked this question hesitantly, seeming unsure if they really were friends or not.
"Anyhow," Ven began, trying to recall how he arrived there. "I was voted off, because everyone thought I was a traitor." His blue eyes narrowed sadly. "Not that I blame them. I-I did a bad thing while you were gone... But anyhow, after I was voted off, I was sent here. But I'm not entirely sure where here is, or if this place is real. Are... you even real?" he asked Kaori, reaching up to touch her hand that was on his shoulder. After all that had happened, Ven wouldn't have been surprised if she was an illusion.
