There has been an unexpected windfall. Number XIII has returned to our side once again. It may have been at the whims of the City, but it is a gift I will hardly turn down.
However, it is also a gift that is not without its risks. Sora and his friend are also here. Needless to say, they hardly trust what I intend. We shall need to exercise caution, if we are to retain his loyalty - a loyalty that we so desperately need, even in this city. He will be a counter to Sora, if nothing else.
However, first we shall need to properly ensure his loyalty.
Time. It is something I had not properly had an appreciation for until arriving here. After all, who would not have taken it for granted, given the chance. It is one of those things that merely is. A marker, that serves to remind us that things move ever on.
Without it, things become all the more interesting, I have found.
Ah yes, one other thing. I would speak to you, Roxas.
