Minas disappeared sometime late last night. I don't know how, but he's gone. I know that a lot of people knew him in this city and he was one of the first people dropped off on the diamond early last year. I'm sorry to have to tell everyone that he's gone.

[In truth, he's disconcerted. Zexion was an enemy but he had information that he was willing

I am listening.

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

The man you knew as Minas wasn't who you thought he was.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

...Then who was he?

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

He was a Nobody and a scientist. He was one of the people who kidnapped me months ago.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

...And, in spite of that, you protected him.

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

We had a truce. I made sure he didn't go after anyone else. I kept a close eye on him while he was here.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

Oh. So he only went after you.

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

He and Benjamin, the first time.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

"The first time"?

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

In the summer.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

There have been subsequent times?

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

When the Core was causing problems, they kept me in a safehouse so I wouldn't hurt anyone unintentionally.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

Good God.

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

They didn't hurt me. Besides, it kept me away from Ansem, and that's better than I could have hoped for. He was waiting for me.

[voice, private]

[mentis_reae]

In what sense. He was prepared to kill you?

[voice, private]

[walkthedawn]

No. He was prepared to take me back as his host body and control me again.
