[ ... she wants to ask, but realizes it's not exactly her place to, so... ]
Yeah.
[ here she shows him her oracle bell, with the following message: hi, hi!! i'm sending something to axel tomorrow, see if anyone can read it pls. -futaba ]
I don't think she'd know in advance what happened to either of 'em.
[ it's a bit wry. ]
But you're probably right that the pictures mean something. Going with your message... maybe someone in this place can read it. I'd have to ask around.
[ she really could do without the delay on these infodumps, but... it's better than how they used to do things. aka where she would never find out and if she did it was never from him directly ]
It's about some of this info from the other side. They found a way to end the corruption, but... It's not exactly something anyone's actually thrilled about. [ there's a long pause, and, to not make you wait for it TOO MUCH: ] There has to be only one-- non-corrupted-- survivor. That person could then decide the fate of... well, everything. That's all they've said on it so far.
'Bout a week ago...? [ a beat as he frowns ] I learned last ... Friday, actually. [ so like. exactly uno week. this is CLEAR progress, xion, appreciate it ]
[ where the fuck are they even. why do we never figure this out. i'm saying they're in one of their houses so that xion can just collapse onto a bed or a chair or something. she's tired and doesn't know what the fuck to say man ]

[ he's looking at the pictures on his oracle bell again ]
She didn't say anything else except she sent me a message?
no subject
Yeah.

... Someone could read this? It's just a bunch of scribbles.
[ he sounds so dubious ]
no subject
Maybe... the pictures mean something? Like... a bird stepped on a hook? And that has something to do with what happened to Cinnabar or Julius...?
[ she's trying, ]

Why did she choose us to send this stuff to, though...?

She taught me how to make origami the week she... got corrupted, but that's about it.

[ he lets out a sigh ]
I kinda get the sense that we're being used as lab rats, here.

They really are still around, somewhere?

Thank goodness.

... Yeah. [ he stays quiet, for a bit. ] Xion, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.

. . .
[ she, surprisingly, does not look as surprised by this news as she should be. ]
So that's why Roxas didn't want me to find out.
no subject
[ he's been working on that. ]
no subject
How long have you known?
no subject

... We'll figure out another way, Xion.
[ will we tho ]
no subject
[ wow i really hate that it's that specific number and so does she ]
no subject
All the more reason not to give up yet. Thirteen's still kind of a lot to get rid of.
no subject
[ like, ]
no subject
[ if they're honest. ]
I'm saying... Don't give up. Even if everything seems hopeless.
