Too easy.

After landing hard on the pavement, crouched to absorb the abrupt halt of his momentum, Vanitas straightened, predator looming over prey- and for a moment, he considered ending the Ventus lookalike's pathetic existence right there. He held Void Gear taught in one hand in his silent consideration, weapon's end inches from Roxas' throat.

He could kill Ventus Junior now. He could track down Girl Ventus and eliminate her next- it would simplify things, and it would serve as proof that he's not just Baldy's little lackey like he'd been called earlier. There was no disadvantage to offing Ventus Junior in a momentary act of defiance.

At the same time... Ventus hadn't really impressed him lately, what with that stunt he pulled with the Darkness monsters earlier. Enough so that Vanitas felt the need to assimilate another backup plan, and fast-- Baldy would be able to determine whether this kid he was about to kill is a good candidate.

In the end, usefulness defeated Vanitas' sense of pride, though he'd never once admit it. A corridor ripped open directly behind him-- he could stand to have one more house guest for now.
