"No, Oswald is one of Mod's apprentices. A very gifted one who goes out of his way to help in any way possible..."

*She looked at Dado.*

"While you were gone, Furo came and was injured. He was looking for Master Mod and mentioned he wasn't really sure if his friends were doing okay. I apologized and tried to ask about it more so I could help but then he passed out from injuries during the battle. I nursed him back to full health and then he insisted on helping me by delivering a message to Master Otoka. I wasn't sure what happened to them until now... Had they joined to help or not, it seemed like there were more issues, that we don't know about, going on. He mentioned one of his friends being 'dragged along without any say by one on of our stupid keys', in his words. You already know keyblades will forcefully choose their owners... Sometimes it is more than one factor that causes so much trouble. We shouldn't keep looking back at mistakes with 'what ifs' and 'I shouldn't have' right now. From what I can tell we have a few keyblade wielders outside waiting to be told everything before they rush to a fight they know nothing about yet. Let's make sure they are informed first."

*Back to Otoka.*

"Pira was a researcher who was Hollow Bastion's leader. They used to be great until they started to do morally questionable experiments and began to learn about the heartless. They did it to understand the threat of them, but soon that research destroyed their world and caused the heartless to become a bigger issue. That issue being what we have now. While the other princesses and I tried to stop darkness from flooding the world we were at, Pira appeared and entered the keyhole, disappearing. That is the short story, Master."
Douglas
"Hm, perhaps this is why he was so down on himself. The boy seems to mistrust keyblades and their wielders. He shares my sentiment, those who wield one are doomed for a hard road of suffering, war and fighting. In his words, they 'decide who get genocided.' Which is a rather strong way of putting it."

*He turned back to look at Aria, instead of just addressing both as before.*

"This Pira sounds like she should be somewhat familiar, however I cannot quite wrap my mind around it. And this 'Hollow Bastion,' its name keeps getting thrown around like it is of importance, yet, the first time I heard it mentioned was by Furo. Would you mind explaining?"
Robert
*More than one factor that causes so much trouble. Decide who get genocided. Getting anyone else into this mess is absolutely a mistake.*

*While Dado has some limited information about Hollow Bastion, he stays silent. If Aria's unable to offer it, he will.*
Raymond
"Indeed. Getting a keyblade will cause a hard life no matter what. That is why Keyblade masters try and teach the next generations so they have the tools to succeed. I do wish to go find his friends as soon as I can. Furo just lost his friends to things he doesn't fully understand... But for Hollow Bastion. Do you remember the world, Radiant Garden? It became Hollow Bastion after a witch named Maleficent invaded with an army of heartless. She has been dealt with already, thanks Dado, Furo, and many others who were at the battle. But there is also..."

*Aria begins to explain Inaxuma and his connection to Ika, along with her not knowing where he went at all after Maleficent died. But then she turned to Dado.*

"Dado, if you wish to go outside, you aren't forced to stay. I wanted to tell you about Xion..."

*She glanced at Otoka before back to Dado*

"Master Otoka, I know it is normally forbidden to use the spell to search through one's heart, but one of the people we thought was an ally, Xion, turned out to be working for an enemy group called "Organization XIII". We don't know what their motives are, but everyone has been calling them assassins in black coats. They've caused some trouble here and there, but haven't been a main threat. I tried to read her intentions, but it seems her memories have been locked. I made the conclusion she may be a sleeper agent, or she is telling the truth about no longer being with them and wanting to do better. I don't trust her but we need help... Master Otoka, what would you do?"
Douglas
"I am familiar."

*He lived there, after all. Just went to show that nothing is sacred to the darkness. A pity. He nodded along to the rest of Aria's explanation.*

*He sighed at the expression of Xion.*

"From what Furo told me, this group has already experienced a traitor amidst their ranks. However, with perspective, it's hard to say how much of what he told me was just his disdain for the group in general. I'm no stranger to being betrayed, as you know Aria... But times seem to be more desperate now than back then. You will need as much manpower as you can muster... Regardless of their credibility."

*He said, recalling the dinosaur outside.*

"At one point, I would have advised keeping the suspicious person at arms length, while keeping an eye on them. Only telling them what is absolutely vital for their goal, keeping the final details to the trusted few. However, with this group's already broken trust, keeping another potential traitor around is not an easy choice to make."
Robert
*A sleeper agent is a real possibility. That just means that, in her current state, she isn't technically lying. That's... Actually relieving.*

*Although, if they removed her memories, couldn't they have removed just enough to get her to where they want her to be? If so, wherever she wants to go might be a bad spot to bring her. He frowns.*

"She's really strong... But at the same time, what if those memories activate while we're fighting Pira. What if the Organization is-" *Dado's eyes widen as he puts something together.*

"Okay. Okay, so... I met an Organization 13 member a while back, I'm pretty sure. A scientist creating synthetic Nobodies. I thought they were Heartless, so I asked her why she'd ever want to work with Maleficent. She called her crazy, and said she'd never work with her."

"Even if Xion's memories activate while we're fighting Pira, we can assume Pira's probably not with Organization 13. I think she's safe to bring along."
