[And that's a reaction Ven's all too familiar with himself - that feeling of shock and horror as your mind reaches for something and finds nothing to get a purchase on. He's lived with it for so long that now it's the other way around for him, the shock and horror when something does connect and a memory comes back, but he remembers that feeling. He remembers how bad it was the last time anything about his past came back - the memory of Master Xehanort removing his Darkness and turning him into a shell, only twelve years old and already cursed to die. The girl in front of him has less than a sliver of a chance of having gone through that, but clearly she's suffered some form of trauma, something went wrong for her and her world and her brain has gone into lockdown to try and save itself. It's not an ideal situation at all, but at least it's something he can do something about.]

Okay - I'm not going to tell you you don't need to worry, because that would be silly. But I am going to tell you that you're safe now, and I'll do my best to figure out what happened and how to get you home. Me and all my friends will - it's sort of our job. And this has happened to a couple of us, so it's not just you, you're not alone. And we can work together to fix this and get you home.

[He's still worried, but Ven puts a smile on his face anyway - smiles reassure people, keep them calm. And it's not a fake smile, either, since he's being entirely sincere about helping her himself and getting all the rest of the Keybladers involved. A girl traveling worlds without warning is big news, something they all need to know of. And, knowing their group, it's not only a problem that's necessary to solve, it's probably a good diversion to stop them from being too focused on Sora's disappearance. He steps forward once more, raising the same hand he'd unconsciously reached toward her earlier, offering it as a point of contact and comfort.]

I'm Ventus, but call me Ven. What's your name?
