Not surprisingly, Break was affected by what the islanders dubbed as different timelines of arrival. Break only came from the visit to Barma, but for him that was already weeks ago. He definitely needed to sort these things out with the Mad Hatter.
Speaking of Mad Hatter, he wondered if Break was looking for his Chain, which wouldn't exist in Rivelata at all. Luckily, he had Alice's scythe with him, even though with him carrying it as he walked along the streets with a smile on his face, it looked so awkward.
'He's definitely hiding in something again.'Oh well, at least Alice's scythe, even without its potent power ( ... )

"What have you been up to, little Oz?" he whispered to himself. Oz had certainly been doing some growing up, either here on the island, during another trip to the Abyss, or in the part of their mutual timeline that Break hadn't reached yet. Break couldn't be entirely sure Oz wasn't going to 'poke' him with that scythe, although he was certain he didn't want to find out.
It was a good thing he had his sword. Cutting out the bottom of the crate, he burrowed himself under the sand and waited for the ruckus to attract the young Contractor.

So who was the real Oz? The carefree young boy whose smiles were fake, or the dangerous Vessalius heir who has sharp senses that could see there was something off on a seemingly ordinary-looking scene?
No.
He shook his head and took a deep breath, calming himself down. He let the end of the scythe tap against the ground as held it vertically.
Sighing, he said, "Break... I know you're there. Do you really want me to hack your head by accident?"

"Ah, there you are... it took you long enough. I had to hide my poor little self down here to make sure none of the strange little children running about didn't find me..." Xerxes Break popped himself out of the ground and opened his arms, his face expectant.
"What, no hug for your beloved advisor?"
