"Yes but what if *He* Never wakes up. The darkness will win!"

"There has to be another way... Maybe we can try to get her to undo-"

"You felt what happened to him. Even she couldn't undo it. We just have to wait until he wakes up."

"How damn long will that be? Far as I know, we ain't got much time."

*Dado could hear familiar voices bickering as he began to rise from his slumber.*
Lydia
*Never wakes up, darkness will win, even she couldn't undo it... This is pretty concerning stuff. Dado's eyes flutter open, and he assesses his situation. Ah.*

"I'm guessing I failed?" *His voice is weak, and has little emotion behind it.*
Michelle
*The group of people, being the FF characters of course, quickly faced Dado, all with worried faces.*
Thomas
"Well uh, guess that depends on your definition."
Michelle
*Dado, if he looked around, would notice all the children were gone.*

Aerith:"The children are okay. You stopped her before they had any permanent damage. But you..."
Lydia
*Dado smiles. She undid it. That's wonderful news. He then coughs painfully.*

"Yeah, I feel like shit. It's fine. It's not even the first time this week I've almost died."

"Where's Fiora now?"
Thomas
"She buggered off soon after we found ya. I wouldn't blame her after what she did either. Especially to you. Now that your darkness is gone."
Lydia
"My darkness...?" *Oh.*

*Dado takes a deep breath, then asks the question.* "Am I dying?"
Meagan
*Merlin then suddenly appears in a puff of magical smoke.*

"No no, dear boy. You are not dying, far from it. Instead you are void of all darkness. Not even a drop of it. From what it looks like, Fiora removed your darkness, but added her own light in the fractured part of your heart."
Lydia
*Dado blinks, surprised. He's free from his darkness? With no downside?*

"I'm sorry, why is what she did bad? If I'm not dying, and I'm not sick, then... Isn't this doing me a favor? Now we don't have to worry about me falling to darkness."
