To be honest, it's something Mother and I suspected for a long time now. No one ever returns from the Abyss, after all. I'd just hoped that maybe it would be different this time, after... [ trails off...
anyway, shakes his head. ]
After thinking about it for a while, I decided it's probably better to focus on the family I still have. There aren't many of us left, so I really don't want to lose more.
Thank you. I think I'll be okay. If these wishes work out, there'll be nothing more to worry about. And even if that's not the compensation they promised, I'll just stay on and keep working until I earn it.
[ but that's probably enough of a tragic backstory from him for tonight. ]
...What about you? What're hoping to get out of this?
There was a terrible incident that happened back when I was a kid that wiped out the entirety of the old capital, and I want to find the truth behind what really caused it. If it were just another Hollow disaster I'd likely never bother with it, but our teacher—our... guardian, basically—has been blamed for it ever since it happened. Even now, Wise and I are still trying to find out how to clear her name.
Well... We believe it's a false accusation, but we found some small clues recently that didn't look favorable. Honestly, we might have to consider the possibility it is true, but... There's not enough to say for sure, and we've already poured so much into getting this far. I have to know what happened, no matter what.
I can understand that. It-- It was the same with how I learned about my brother. [ being worried, perhaps even a little afraid, of the truth, but needing to know anyway, no matter how devastating it could be... it's familiar. ] I think you'll get your answer... and I hope it's the one you're hoping for.
You've taken most things with stride here, no matter what they threw at you... even when you died, you didn't let it keep you down for long. I think you'll be alright.
...And if you're not, maybe we take a page from the fans' book and figure out how to break reality to come give you a hand.

[ How to put this. ]

Do you think it's a false accusation? Or do you want to know the truth, no matter what?

Not gonna lie, there's some of you I wouldn't mind giving a ring when I need special help on my commissions!

In that case, I'd be happy to help out! Fighting is probably what I'm best at, so I wouldn't mind being your shield for a while.

Awesome! Assuming we ever break the barrier between worlds, that is, though that's a little beyond my wheelhouse.

And after two seasons, I think I can handle it just fine.
