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?

[lethechained]

[It hurts. It hurts, knowing what she's done, to everyone and to him. She created him to live this life, to suffer like this, and it hurts--]



I'm okay.

[She can't hurt, not the way the others do.]

I'll try not to be. [Sorry, she means, and only for his sake.]

[key_illusion]

No, I don't think you are.

[lethechained]

[....]

[If he could see her, he'd see a forced smile.]

I can't not be. Not the way the others can.

[key_illusion]

No.

I think you're hurt.

Because how could you create me? How could you handle other people's hurt without being hurt as well?

I've seen their memories. I've seen how much they've suffered.
