[What's white and gold with feathers all over? This guy, groggily wandering about Mac Anu like he's just woken up from a very, very long sleep. ...Or maybe not very long, considering this is the kid who'd set a personal record for sleeping three years straight. Not on purpose, of course

Pit stumbles into a group of NPCs as he wobbles along, rousing some complaint and concern-- 'Is he alright?' 'Watch where you're going, clumsy!'

He doesn't seem to mind, or even notice, mumbling to himself as he checks over his Relic.]

Ooogh... I just had the biggest... longest... weirdest dream. Feels like I've been out for ages.

...'Least I'm not... [yaaaawn] A ring... this... mumble grumble ...

[Pit backs off, scratching behind his ear awkwardly.]

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.

[galaxiapride]

[He hesitates.]

...I once had a mirror clone try to kill me.

[shiningascent]

Wh-- really?! I-I mean-- um-- That's a coincidence.

Is... is it okay if I ask about it or...?

[galaxiapride]

...It's fine. The more I talk about it, the less embarrassing it becomes. [But he still hesitates to get it out.]

...It was an elaborate plot. An evil force lurking in the Amazing Mirror lured me to the Mirror World. He created a dark reflection of myself who managed to best me and trap me in the mirror. That copy then took it on himself to ruin my reputation.

[shiningascent]

A mirror world, huh...? Can't say I envy you. Did you manage to beat him in the end?

[galaxiapride]

He shattered the mirror so I had no way to escape. But he was stupid enough to assault our greatest hero whose petty vengeance knows no bounds.

[shiningascent]

That's-- uh. That's an odd quality for a great hero, but okay!

Sooo I'm guessing it's because of them that you're okay...?

[galaxiapride]

Yes. As bumbling and stubborn as he is, he has a pure heart, and I think that's what enables him to fix things, especially the gigantic disasters he unintentionally creates.
