... is it strange to sometimes wish you could go home? Even if there's nothing there for you? [ nothing except death, in her case. this isn't hilariously morbid or anything, no. ]

I'm just not sure when or how things got so ... complicated. Is this just what life is like...?

[ Xion is outside today, somewhere a little more quiet. She's sitting on the railing of the bridge that passes over the river between houses 14 and 35, swinging her legs gently as she holds onto the rail with one hand and the journal with her other. It ... doesn't seem terribly safe, but then again, she's used to much higher places. Feel free to startle her from her contemplation. She could use it. ]

[Saddest and most boring corner ever.]

Morality is objective. What appears to be a noble cause can twist into a cold-blooded massacre in a moment. [And that's a soul-crushing feeling he would rather not experience again.]

...It's just a matter of what side you're on.

[Manipulated.

"Depend too much-"

Ramirez pushes the thought away before it could finish. No. There's no point in dwelling on that right now. Not here, where's he so far away from any sort of resolution.

Besides, he has other things to worry about. Like the fact that he has probably only further upset this young girl.]


...I apologize. It's been a rather disrupting few days, but I shouldn't have taken it out on you.

Don't pay my words any mind, miss.

...No, it's not all right. I don't even know you; I've no business assuming what is your best course of action.

[Quite quick on the uptake there, my dear.]

Friends? Just like that?

[This man has gotten far more skeptical of this place in the span of only a few days. All the same, he doesn't sound averse to the proposition; he sounds more like he had just found a mildly interesting newspaper article.]

Maybe I'm just an excellent liar.

[He's not. Don't let him fool you.

But this is ridiculous, getting offered friendship so fast into a single conversation. He doesn't even know the girl's name. The offer was such a wide-eyed and innocent response. It was almost like something Fi-

No. All thoughts stop there. But it had gone far enough to stop any sort of half-hearted rejection he was attempting to come up with. The way to the man's heart is to remind him of his vanished sister figure, apparently.]


...Very well. But perhaps I should learn your name first.

[He just makes a sort of noncommittal noise at the observation. Sad, huh? Maybe that's why he could never keep a lie going for long before it tripped him up.

In any case-]


A pleasure to speak to you then, Miss Xion; you seem like a lovely girl. My apologies once more if I had only served to further upset you.

[And it's...awfully hard not to smile at her. Everything about this girl just seemed to trigger a big brother instinct, which all at once endears her to him and makes him want to bolt in the opposite direction. No. He doesn't want another Fina. He doesn't want another anything.

...But in spite of himself, he lets the corners of his mouth quirk upwards, though there's still an oddly melancholy look about him.]
