If I do what the universe asks, and I act as a guide for everyone, the universe should give me an answer of where to go next to find him. And that's why I'm playing along.

[whitewalls]

... I see.

[ she sighs. ]

That makes a lot of sense.

[ considering roxas does have a temper. ]

[cyclists]

Wait, which part? [He has no idea what she's thinking, but yes, please praise Roxas for being not as yelly as he could be.]

[whitewalls]

Oh, that's not important.

[ it's fine. ]

[cyclists]

If you say so. [He's shaking his head.] But that's the truth. I told Axel, but the others don't know yet.

[whitewalls]

... alright.

I don't know how much Axel has told Xion in general.

[cyclists]

Probably not that much. He's never been great at being honest about stuff that matters.

[whitewalls]

... yeah.

I know there's a lot that he's not telling me, too. It makes me feel a little silly about giving him information.

[cyclists]

There's no reason he shouldn't be telling you. That part doesn't make sense. Do you want me to talk to him?

[Read as: "do you want me to whine and maybe hit him with a stick until he listens?"]

[whitewalls]

Well... I wouldn't want him to think I was complaining...

[cyclists]

It's not complaining if I tell him why. Right? He has to listen.

[whitewalls]

Maybe...

[ ... ]

Thank you.

[cyclists]

Sure. [He's pretty much Team Naminé and will do whatever for her, it's fine. With that said though...he pauses.]

...you doing okay? I know you and Minato were friends...

[whitewalls]

... it's fine.

[ there's a pause. ]

Well, not fine, but... I'll deal with it.

[cyclists]

You always say that. [Just. Gently pointing that out...] ...I'll take care of him, but I think he'd like to hear from you, too.

[whitewalls]

[ stop don't call her out ]

... I'll write to him. And Lili, too.

[cyclists]

[Someone has to!!]

I think they'd like that. I have a feeling she's going to be pretty mad when she wakes up...[Sigh.]

But they're okay over there. Lune and I are trying to help them be as comfortable as possible.

[whitewalls]

... what happens to them if we're not able to save them?

[cyclists]

...I don't know. But that's why we're not gonna let that happen. As long as we're in a position to make sure the last one remaining will save everyone, we'll be alright.

[whitewalls]

We can't let the last person be corrupted, right?

... but the problem is how are we supposed to make sure they aren't?

[cyclists]

Find ways to protect them. You guys have the power to earn ways to keep yourselves safe, plus maybe something else will come up.

And...maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of candidates in case it comes down to it.

[whitewalls]

I would say that this is the kind of thing we should discuss as a group, but at the same time it seems like that's an easy way to paint a target on those people if whoever we tell is corrupted.

[ since there

are corrupted people they didn't catch hanging around ]

[cyclists]

You're right...I was talking to someone else who seemed to think there's a few different groups of alliances now. Maybe we can use that to our advantage? Making plans with one group, and then another, and merging them together when we're sure of the path we want.

[whitewalls]

So everyone has a different idea, then later we go over the options with those ideas?

... it could work. It's probably the only way we can do it without sabotaging ourselves on accident.

[cyclists]

Yeah! Exactly, it'll be easier to narrow stuff down if we at least have choices. And I'd rather see you guys get a choice anyway instead of having to pick an option just because it's the only one available.
