[But Mother, it's okay. He can take hits since it's not like it would really matter--]

If anything or anyone bothers you, please tell me.

[lethechained]

[Maybe not to him, but it would to her. She felt bad enough about what happened to him when he went after Vanitas.]


[It's so sweet of him. (Dutiful of him?) But--] Will you do what you did last time? [Put himself in danger?]

[key_illusion]

Possibly. I could determine another way to approach the situation, if I must. [Like making an attempt to make others do the work for him. Oops.]

[lethechained]

[....]

[He must, if he wants to know about such things.]


I would appreciate it if you found another way. [Assuming it's something she's willing to let him become involved in in the first place, should something arise.]

[key_illusion]

[Nooooo, that just makes things more difficult.

Sigh, fine. He can deal with it, as long as it's for Mother.]

Alright.

[lethechained]

Thank you.

I don't want you to put yourself in danger because of me.

[key_illusion]

But it's okay.

I would prefer to if it meant fixing things.

[lethechained]

[... Oh, Dataxas.]



I wouldn't. If it's something that I can handle then

I'd rather it be that way. [The other things, the things she can't deal with on her own-- well, those she doesn't want to burden him with, either, not unless there's dire need, or if it's something that might affect everyone else.]

[key_illusion]

[...No, Mother. That's not what he wants to hear.]

Then what use am I?

[lethechained]

You still have worth. You don't have to put yourself at risk to make a difference. [Not to her, anyway.] You've been trying to help everyone in your own way. [By which she means the less dangerous way than assaulting Vanitas.]

[key_illusion]

But I need to help you too.

[Keyword: need.]

[lethechained]

[His dedication never fails to startle her, despite the fact that she created him.]

You are helping me. Looking after them helps me too. [He doesn't have to get himself hurt--]

[key_illusion]

You won't let me help you directly. [He can't let go of this fact.]

[lethechained]

Not if it means hurting yourself.


But if you can still be safe then

I won't stop you.

[key_illusion]

I'll try not to get hurt then. ['But it's inevitable.']

Just let me help you.

[lethechained]

Is that truly what you want? [Or is it just out of duty?]

[key_illusion]

Yes. More than anything.

[Who knows. It could be his programming talking too.]

[lethechained]

[Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps someday she'll have the chance to make certain. But for now...]

If that's the case then

it's alright with me.


Thank you for your dedication.

[key_illusion]

[The approval is good, but without direct orders, it would be hard to act...]

Then, thank you for everything.

[lethechained]

[Everything? Or... 'everything'?]


You're welcome.

[And....]

I'm sorry.

[key_illusion]

For what?

[lethechained]

For the position I put you in.

[key_illusion]

[...]

Someone had to play this role, right? Someone had to make sure Sora's ready.

Anyways, according to the Journal, I've completed my role.

Even if there's nothing beyond it, I want everyone to be free of the hurt.

So, it's okay. Don't be sorry.

[His disappearance would be the end of his own hurt.]

[lethechained]

That's true. It had to happen the way that it did. [Too true.]




I guess

I just wish that you had never had to go through that or suffer that hurt yourself.

[She also wishes she could listen to him, could stop being so sorry and appease him that way, but....]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be complaining.

[key_illusion]

Don't say that.

Don't be sorry.

You're hurting too, aren't you?
