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?

[whitewalls]

Oh...

[ she kneels down to poke it ]

Do we try again?

[cyclists]

Maybe. The shell's pretty hard...think we have to throw it even harder? What if I hold the board so it doesn't slip and you throw it? Can you carry it?

[whitewalls]

Mmhm.

[ this just seems like an idea that will lead to roxas getting hit by a watermelon but that's fine i guess

she'll go to pick up the melon ]
