*Otoka does have a point, though. Keyblades are versatile, and can take their wielders just about anywhere. If Gursht shows up at the wrong time... Dado puts his fingers to his temples.*

"If we bring him along, and he dies, or gets stranded in the Realm of Darkness, or gets kidnapped by one of the half dozen groups and individuals out to screw with us, that's on us for dragging him into it before he's ready."

*But if they don't bring him along, and he comes with anyways, it's on Dado exclusively for telling him about the threat to begin with.*

"...Fine. Like you said, if he shows up regardless... It's worse than if we just bring him along. Make it five Elixirs and Kupo Coins."

*He turns his head down, eyes shut. "Excellent master some day" His ass; he's sending new Keyblade Wielders to die for a cause without proper training.*

"And no. I did not kill my darkness. He didn't try to hurt anyone; he just wanted to talk." *He subconsciously rubs the left side of his face. It's close enough to the truth.* "Besides, even if I hadn't exhausted myself fighting that possessed girl... An Organization XIII member showed up to mock me for not recombining with him. He left to go meet privately with her in the Realm of Darkness. Alone."
Raymond
"He went and did what?! This isn't good. If it was just your dark half running around, it wouldn't be too bad as long as they weren't causing trouble. But if he ends up joining organization XIII... I'm unsure what to expect."
Douglas
"Hm... Between Xion being an Ex-Member and potential sleeper agent, and your dark half being a potential recruit, how much of our information do you think they've already spilled?"
Robert
"I-" *Fuck, he hadn't remotely considered that possibility. Was he really stupid enough to join them...?*

"I don't believe he'd do that. He's *Me*. He still wants to help, same as I do."

*Would he join a group of potentially ambiguously evil people after being rejected? Surely not, right?*

*"We __will__ recombine. How many regrets we have when we do is up to you."*

"After Pira, I'll look for him and make sure he hasn't done anything cruel or stupid."
Raymond
"Okay. I still wish to help Furo find his friends. He helped us when he didn't have to, at Hollow Bastion. He deserves any support possible."
Douglas
"From here, I suppose we get the others in gear to move out. I can tell that the time is upon us."
Robert
*Dado feels it. The spontaneous tidal wave of darkness. He pales.*

"We need to go. Now!" *Without another word, he rushes downstairs and outside.*
