[ SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE HIM ]

You didn't. [ he agrees. but... ] Why do you think you did?

[whitewalls]

Yesterday Emma told me that you were hoping I'd be the last one left.

Sorry.

[cyclists]

None of this was your fault though. You have to know that.

[leaberator]

What he said.

[ ... he stretches out, a bit ]

'Sides, I don't know if I coulda convinced everyone else you were the right person for the job. It was more about... for me, out of everyone here, I doubt there's anyone else I'd have trusted as much to do it right. You get what I mean?

[ man imagine if he was still cursed and i was writing this ]

[whitewalls]

... mm. Thank you.

[ she rubs at her eyes, trying to chase away any tears that are still there. ]

Roxas, I'd like to stay with you over there, if you don't mind.

[ she adds that last part even though he

was the one who offered ]

[cyclists]

Yeah. Definitely. [It's okay, he won't call her on that.] You know Lune and I have our own houses, and there's plenty of room. Everyone seems to mostly be getting along on that side, too. And then we can help Axel and Xion from over there until this is over.

[It also keeps her away from people like Hisoka.]

[leaberator]

[ it makes it seem like she's leaving for a visit, when they talk about it like that. which is why he smiles a little ]

An' you can hang out with Minato and everyone else.

[whitewalls]

... mm. Maybe he'll tell me what those pictures meant.

[ he probably won't ]

It's going to be even quieter on this side.

[cyclists]

That just means we'll have to make sure you guys talk to each other even more.

[leaberator]

An' we know I can talk enough for everyone else in this place.

[whitewalls]

... as long as you don't get spitfired again.

[ it's a feeble attempt at a joke ]

[cyclists]

[He shouldn't find it funny, but there's a small laugh anyway.] I really hope not. That was a little too weird...

[leaberator]

[ he gives a dramatic sigh and shudder ]

Aaaahh, don't remind me. That was freaky, capital F an' all. Actually, make that all capital letters. I never wanna talk like that again.

[whitewalls]

... at least they were able to make it stop.

[ she glances at roxas. thanks. ]

[cyclists]

Why'd you even let North pick that as your option anyway? It was even more distracting than some of the other things going on.

[That is to say, you're welcome, he's here to help.]

[leaberator]

She didn't exactly tell me what she was gonna do beforehand! I didn't think it'd be that bad.

[whitewalls]

[ she smiles softly. ]

... it'll be a nice memory.

[cyclists]

Mm. I wish we had time to make at least one more good memory before tomorrow.

[But at least being here together helps, maybe.]

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

I won't lie an' say any memory we share is a good one. But... even the bad stuff is worth it for the good ones we did have, and the ones we'll have later.

[ sappy... ]

[whitewalls]

[ she looks over at roxas. that reminds her, of what they were just talking about the night before.

that feels like another lifetime ago. ]

... almost all of the bad stuff.

[cyclists]

[It's something they talked about, and something Roxas has talked about with a few others here, but in a moment like this it's a little harder to hold onto. But he nods slowly in agreement.]

The bad ones are supposed to make us stronger, and then we'll have good ones to make up for it. But I still wish we had more time anyway.

[leaberator]

Yeah. And... you guys have had more than your fair share of bad ones. It's kind of about time we get a lot of good ones all at once.

[ most of their existence, really. ]

[whitewalls]

[ it's too bad she's stuck in gay baby jail or else she'd suggest going to the beach. ]

... that would be nice.

[cyclists]

Soon. When this is over, we'll have time to make more good ones.

[...] We'll stay here as long as we can tonight though. Right? [He doesn't know if he can actually stay all night but it's worth a shot.]

[leaberator]

Yeah. As long as you want us around.

[ he doesn't think she'd kick them out, but. she should have the option. ]
