If you ever come back I'll punch you in the face. Stay away this time. Leave me here and

Don't die this time.

Get it right.

What happened to you? You were...

You said you were with your brothers. I thought you didn't have anyone else from your world here.

[virtualunknown]

It's.... nothing you should worry about.

They aren't from my world. have a... different connection.

Are you going to be okay?

[gold_keyblade]

...

It sounded like something I should worry about.

I'm not going to break just because he's gone. He's been gone before.

[virtualunknown]

I'd... prefer not to drag anyone else into it.

I know. But it still hurts a bit, doesn't it?

[gold_keyblade]

When you vanish after making cryptic posts and having conversations about Sephiroth and orders, you're dragging me into it.

A Heartless can't feel genuine pain.

My... my orders came from Hojo. Months ago. If it works, we can all leave. But I... I need the others, too. Mot She wants me to be with them. And I can't make her be quiet lately. I'm so confused... Sephiroth has been gone for some time.

But something similar?

[gold_keyblade]

...him.

...

What others? Anything Hojo told you could have been a lie. He told me he'd implanted a bomb inside y-- insid the bodies of everyone he'd ever experimented on, and if I didn't help him, he'd detonate all of them. He was lying about that.

...

I'm not weak.

Re: private//unhackable

[virtualunknown]

He told you that...? When was this?

...he's long gone, but the idea held promise. If it's going to work, I can't just stop.

It isn't a sign of weakness.

A long time ago. When he first captured me and cut out the heart I'd developed. If one of his ideas would really let us leave, that'd be great, but...

He got himself killed trying to do that.

...

It is. Humans are the ones ruled by their emotions, and it makes them weak and irrational, and they brought the plague of darkness down on the universe. It was their weakness that destroyed them.

Re: private//unhackable

[virtualunknown]

I didn't know he'd done that to you...

...I'm willing to risk it. I've been here so long I'm sure it won't matter if I don't return home.

Perhaps...

I wasn't going to go around announcing to everyone that they had a bomb inside them. Better that I didn't since he was just saying that to influence me.

It would matter to people here if you died.

Re: private//unhackable

[virtualunknown]

Ah... I suppose so.

...perhaps, but I still think that it's worth taking that chance. Wouldn't you want to go back?

private//unhackable

[gold_keyblade]

No. Kairi and Namine have their own Knights to protect them and Axel takes care of himself better when I'm not with him. If I went back, odds are that I would be re-absorbed into Sora again and disappear.

I'd rather have my own life here, even if it's artificial.

Re: private//unhackable

[virtualunknown]

Who does Namine have?

...you'd still have the choice, if all went well.

private//unhackable

[gold_keyblade]

Namine is part of Kairi the way I'm part of Sora. Whether she was absorbed by Kairi or living separately, Sora and the Riku replica would protect her. She's a Princess. There would always be someone.

...

Just. Don't do anything really stupid.
