[unsaid]

Mm, I did.

Have you not changed your mind?

[agleam]

[he shakes his head.]

I can't. If I put all your worlds at risk like that and anything went wrong, I'd never forgive myself.

[unsaid]

... then I have a question in return.

If we are to know that you are going to be experiencing that, and leaving you to such risk.... how shall we be expected to forgive ourselves?

[agleam]

I know, but... I'm not doing this because I don't care that it could hurt any of you.

[he pauses for a moment.]

I wish it were just about me. Then it'd be easier to make a different decision. But - Mikazuki, it killed my entire kingdom in less than two days. If it got to other worlds, imagine how many people it could reach. And it'd be innocent people, people who had nothing to do with any of us.

[he hums faintly at that]

... then my crane and I do not need to return to our homes so soon. Let us go right away with you, and not leave until our business is finished.

He and I do have the time for such a trip.

[they're. immortal and can time travel so,]

[agleam]

...All of this is kind of dependent on whether or not I actually have a choice about it. I'm still not sure if I do.

[but...]

If it's not connected to any other worlds and you come with me, how are you going to go back home afterwards?

[unsaid]

When it is over and safe, then we can contact another of our family to help us return home. He is a good young man, and I rather think that you two would get along well.

[roxas and rupert... soft....]

... for you are our family, Rupert. It is not a simple matter to leave one such as you behind.

[agleam]

...I know. I feel the same way.

[soft... he pauses, though.]

That's why I want to keep you both safe. We've tried fighting this thing normally - weapons don't work on it.

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha. Well, we are a bit more than weapons. Even if we cannot fight, it is not the first problem we have had to work around.

Though would it not be easier to keep each of us safe if we are all together?

[agleam]

No - that's not what I meant. Of course you're more than weapons.

[a pause.]

I know this part is... selfish of me. But I can't let it take anyone else I love. If I let you come and something happened to you, too...
