perplexme | Twenty-Third Keychain-[Written]

[Private]
After what they did to me, I can't help but wonder what they're going to do to him. Aros...I should have at least seen that one coming, I mean, why wouldn't it? They took the original several times, then they took the Nobody, why wouldn't they want to collect data on the Heartless? ~~I'm sort of...maybe worried though.~~ He'll be okay.

Luceti's...completely lost it lately. People being kidnapped left and right, even more people just up and disappearing, more people attacking others. I heard about that girl, Fina's friend...Aegis if I remember her name right, being attacked in the desert for being a robot.

How odd, considering that there are more than just herself that isn't human. That vampire kind of lost it too from what I heard. Emil's not his usual bouncy self either. What the hell's going on? It's a mad, mad world.

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in't."

Excellent point. After all, we all know the Malnosso are behind this crazy shit. I'm not going to stand by but...I do need to not involve myself so much.

~~If anything, so Axel can sleep at night.~~

The gash finally healed up but I think I really worried more people than necessary and I want to apologize, but it's not in my nature. I guess. I don't know, what am I even saying anymore? I think my thoughts are even more scattered than before. I give up for a while. Not long, but a while. I need to find my research that Axel hid from me.

Cloud...I have your Materia to return to you. Thanks for letting me borrow it.

And Fina? Where are you, I haven't seen you around...

And for that matter...anybody who's been in the library lately, anybody have any good recommendations? I think I need something new to read.

Why?

[ooc: yesh :[]

You really don't get it, do you?

...I'm not going to do anything though.

Just leave it alone. All of it.

...okay.

...just forewarning, if you keep trying to put your nose into business it doesn't belong, I will take action this time. Be best if you commit that to memory.

[nods but doesn't say anything else for the time being]

I'm glad we could come to an understanding.

...so what am I supposed to do, Axel?

You're a kid, start acting like one. You managed to keep yourself entertained in Twilight Town.

That was different and you know it.

Honestly I don't see how. Just this time you know you're being kept captive.

Does that mean Luceti and everybody I've met are just fake too?

Oh if only this place were fake.

[stops talking again because no really, that was a serious question]

Do you think I'm fake?

I don't know anymore.

Tch, where did this come from all of a sudden?

Don't you see it, Axel? It's just a repeat...this whole thing is just a goddamn repeat.

I...didn't want it to happen again. The research, the questioning, sure it's about the Malnosso and how to get out of here but I don't want to get thrown off guard again.
