[He turns his head to look at her.] Yeah...we're doing okay so far even if this isn't the way things should be done.

[There are a lot of dead people.]

[whitewalls]

I wonder why this was the way we're supposed to do it?

[ things are much easier when you can just

beat people up, honestly ]

[cyclists]

It's weird right? I don't get it either because it's different than how things usually work. Why this? Why not something else? And it's like I've been saying, if you wanted to get rid of the darkness why take away something that would help?

[Where! Are! His! Keyblades!?]

[whitewalls]

It's kind of like it's going out of its way to make this a difficult process for us, despite it wanting our help...

[ she is (vine voice) confusion ]

[cyclists]

I'm starting to wonder if it even really wants our help. But we're doing it anyway.

[whitewalls]

If it doesn't then... what's even the point of bringing us all here?

[cyclists]

That's what I'm trying to find out. If something else is wrong, then...how do we fix it?

[whitewalls]

That would be hard to figure out if we're not even aware of it.

[ she sits up ]

For what reason would there be to withhold this much information?

[cyclists]

[He stays laying down but he's watching her, working out a thought or two.]

...the same reason anything like this would happen. They want us to do something specific, and if we don't know what's going on we're more likely to do it.

[whitewalls]

... so, if we did know, then we might not do it? Or we wouldn't be able to?

[cyclists]

Right. Like...[How to explain...]

Naminé. What were we always told about being Nobodies?

[whitewalls]

We don't have hearts? We're not supposed to exist?

[ there are a few things and they're all mean? ]

[cyclists]

Yeah. But...that's not true. It's been possible for us to grow new hearts all along. We could have been whole on our own without trying to complete Kingdom Hearts, but Xemnas--Xehanort would have never told us that. Or we wouldn't have kept working.

[whitewalls]

... so there's probably some sort of catch that would make us more hesitant or refuse to help if we knew.

[ that makes a lot of sense. ]

We just need to figure out what.

[cyclists]

That's what worries me. What's going to be so bad that when we find out we won't do it..? And why didn't they just tell us when Lune and I first arrived?

[whitewalls]

... because it was probably something that you two wouldn't want to do either.

[cyclists]

There are very few things I wouldn't want to do and we're already running into a bunch of them. The rest of them aren't so great either. [He looks at the watermelon.]

...but that's my problem to solve.

[whitewalls]

... it might be all of our problems, too, if this is true.

[ she'll follow his gaze. ]

How do we break this?

[cyclists]

Together, then.

[Just like always. But is there anything they can do right now? Perhaps not...so the watermelon it is. He rotates it in his hands.]

I think we just smash it? Or I can cut it open.

[whitewalls]

Hm...

Which do you think would be more fun?

[cyclists]

...let's smash it together. [There's a bright grin.] It'll probably make a mess but at least it'll open.

[whitewalls]

[ she nods happily, getting up ]

Okay! Let's smash it.

[cyclists]

[Give him a second, he's summoning what looks like a large cutting board so they can throw this watermelon on the ground.] Think this is big enough?

[whitewalls]

[ she inspects it... then nods. ]

Uh huh! Let's do it. On the count of three?

[cyclists]

Yeah. One...two...three! [And down goes the watermelon!!

...it only sort of cracks.]

Huh?
