Hey... Do you have a minute?

Yeah?

I just wanted to say 'congratulations.' Know what day it is?

Thursday's nothing to celebrate.

It is when it means you've been here so long. [Does he have to spell it out for you?]

... I haven't been counting. [Lies and slander.]

... I think you have.

...

... [Groan of frustration & pacing, then a reluctant sigh.]

One-hundred and thirty-two.

And how much is that when we add the time back home?

[Sitting in the amused corner. And by "sitting", we mean "the pacing is mutual"]

How should I know that?

[Not even going to try guessing. :|]

[He laughs a bit.] Ah, right.

It's been almost six months in total. Since we first met.

Six months? But that means... [Quick math, hold on. Processing.]

[Phlumf sound of sitting down.]

I'm only- was only, when...

[Halfway through the silence on this end, the feed flickers to video.]

I don't know how long you were around before we met, but yes.

The way they acted, the part I can remember... [Here's where the video flickers on.] Probably not very long.

... No wonder I'm always restless.

Mm. Can't say I'm too surprised.

[Even now, he still feels more than a twinge of guilt in the role he played. In his mind, no number of apologies or things he did would ever be enough to atone for taking a life, let alone one of someone who shares the same face.]

But they aren't all here, and even if they were... you still have this second chance.

[Lots of bang-brushing right now] ... I really didn't think-

I knew I'd been here awhile, but I didn't think the difference between here and there was so... much.

I know what you mean.

[Not looking up; tone is low & upset]

How could you?

Because the Organization does not like that which they cannot control.

They've been hunting me down since I left that castle, since being a tool for them failed. [Seeing two of its members being friendly when he first got here? Yeah, his brain is still broken.]

[Head picks up] ... All of them?

From what I heard about it from Xion and saw for myself, yeah. Though, Demyx was a bit more "run away really fast."

[And with the shadow of the "Superior" inside him? Deadpan; not surprised.]

[Note to self: ask Axel about this.]

If they know what's good for them they'll just leave us alone.

If they don't, they'll have to answer to me. [Because he can't well let them out of his sight.

Note to self: write down what he knows about the Replica Program and Xion before he ends up going back home.]

[Correction:] To both of us.
