*Oswald began to stir from the Arise cast, his ears and nose twitching a little. However once yhr cast had finished, he was able to open his eyes to see only darkness.*

"W-what's going on? Where am I?"
Elizabeth
*~~Dado~~ Zero sighs, relieved that Oswald's okay.*

"The Realm of Darkness. Brad killed Sir Icidro and destroyed Dark Kingdom Key. We failed..."

"Here, what areas hurt the most badly?" *He raises his hand over Oswald's body, preparing a cast.*
Warren
"Dado, is that you...? What do you mean? Sir Icidro can't be dead... I-I was with him until..."

*Oswald tried to get up, but flinched and struggled.*

"We... We made it to the door, and as we were waiting, Brad appeared... Brad and Icidro began to fight and when I went to stop them, a hoard of heartless attacked me and separated us... I was fighting, until the heartless suddenly ran away. Then... That thing appeared... I don't know what it was, but it was heading to the door. I tried to stop it, but it kept absorbing my light... And then it grabbed me. I felt my strength draining until... Well, you woke me up..."

*He put his hand on his chest, feeling pain from where he was grabbed and feeling weak.*

"I failed to stop it..."
Elizabeth
"Hey. Hey. It's okay." *Noticing Oswald's shift, he releases his Curaga cast into the Toon's chest. It applies gentle, even pressure, like a weighted blanket.*

"We need to get you back to the Realm of Light. You've been in this hellhole too long."

*A Dark Corridor leading to  appears behind "Dado".*

"Mind if I carry you?" *He continues speaking softly, despite the boiling rage beneath his skin. He knows first-hand the crushing weight of failure. Oswald shouldn't have to deal with it alone; especially when it wasn't his fault.*
