And so the cycle begins again. One has to wonder: for how long and to what reward?
Given the event so recently behind us, I have found myself asking that question more frequently and with ramifications more serious than I had originally anticipated. Call it a smaller, more personal and permanent awakening.
[ By this time, the old-fashioned, paper and book-packed interior of Xehanort's office at the main library may be familiar to many. It remains as dusty, enclosed, and dimly-lit as it had been on the first day that he had taken his job as an archivist at the library. The difference today is that there is a sleek filing box set atop the heavy wooden desk.
He is in the process of placing a very small number of personal items within it. ] Given that a...number of you have taken it upon yourselves to monitor my actions, I thought it more efficient to inform you personally that yes, I am retiring from my position here. Savings and other investments are more than enough to provide for my household and so employment has become superfluous and time-consuming.
[ There is a pause when he picks up a small, familiar-looking book; he spends a minute or two examining the word cover, before muttering to himself: ] "I stood / Among them, but not of them; in a shroud / Of thoughts which were not their thoughts."
[ A moment more and then the little book goes into the box with all the rest. ]
I find that I would prefer to pursue my own projects while I retain the capacity to do so.
My work is complete. I need only test the seal and we may employ it upon the Heartless, the Nobody, or both.
I would add that it would be beneficial to you to learn it, should a need for it arise at a later date.
Meet me in the lab once I return. We have matters to discuss.
