[ 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 ]
I don't know why we were brought here. I-- [ he cuts himself off, curling his hand into a fist ] Xion. On top of everything... You didn't deserve any of this. I wish there was something I could do.
I have to. I know I do, before everything can go the way it's supposed to. Even if we do get to leave and go back to whatever we were doing before we came here—I was always on borrowed time in some way, wasn't I?
... You disappear. Yeah. [ there's a long pause ] But your heart isn't gone. It's not even part of the Organization, whatever Saïx told you. You and Roxas end up in the same place.
I wouldn't lie to you about this. [ fun that he has to add the latter part. he gestures vaguely ] Some part of you was there in that Organization, and I don't know how that worked, but your heart was in Sora.

[ 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. ]

... 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.

[ like, ]

[ if they're honest. ]
I'm saying... Don't give up. Even if everything seems hopeless.

It's not fair. If I was going to die anyway no matter what, why did I get brought here—?

[ he's serious about that, at least. ]
