[ from what she's gathered it's pretty rare for him to seem mad, but... she also doesn't think much of it. she knows that saying things like that will upset people. ]
Okay. [thinking this over...] At first, he looked like Xehanort. But then he changed to some guy Alex knew. But then it changed to this huge monster, really wide with all of these arms and stuff coming out of the back of it. The sky was turning red outside and the meteor was coming fast, but then Xehanort said..."do you believe you can change destiny?"
[...] I wasn't sure if he was real or not, because...that's what the real Xehanort would've said, too. That's what he wanted before. To control destiny of the worlds.
We didn't have a ton of options, so Alex and I started heading for the door to the helicopter pad. But he kept talking to us and started to follow us. He said, "Time has already been written. There's nothing you can do, is there? Except try, try again. But you'll never make it."
So I led him outside to the landing pad. Alex escaped to a higher platform and Xehanort brought out his own sword. She was trying to find a way for us to get out of there and the meteor was coming right at us. So I had to buy her some time.
[he...holds up his burnt arm, which clementine will now see is a weird shape and a different burn than one made from flames or chemicals.] I blocked the sword with my own, but I couldn't stop the tentacle that was covered in that same slime from all over the place. When it hit...it hurt almost more than anything I've felt in a really long time. But when I blocked his sword, everything froze. Time, the meteor, everything. And he said "not yet. But remember, this is your last chance."
[he furrows his eyebrows together.] ...my head started hurting really bad after that. I couldn't move, I couldn't think...we must've passed out right after that. And I don't know how we got there, but the next thing I knew I woke up inside one of those test tubes and Blanca and Shiro were trying to break us out while we were in this mansion we'd never seen before. Blanca was already bleeding by the time they got us out, and Alex was asleep after everything. The mansion was starting to burn all around us, so we had to run. And when we got through the door of the mansion we just found ourselves on the bridge again.
Not really, considering Xehanort's possessed and used a lot of people I know. [so. all the more reason he just kind of started yelling.] ...but you're probably right.
[he doesn't know what to do with that last sentence though so he just...shrugs. he can't exactly say "it's okay" because he's still very much not chill about it, but "thank you" doesn't seem right either? god.]
...you'll have to ask Blanca and Shiro what happened to them if you want to know the other side of the story.
Yeah it's a whole...thing. I'll tell you about it sometime maybe. [the anger's not exactly going away because, despite the fact that he fought and defeated xehanort himself, he's still very upset about things!!
nevertheless he keeps a hand over his mouth as he thinks.]
...yeah. Yeah, okay. I should figure out what to do about this thing, too. [he's staring at his arm burn because he's not sure alien burns are the same as anything else.]
If you want to. [ clem recognizes that she hasn't told him much from her life, so she doesn't feel like she can ask for his stories. even if she would like to hear them.
As for the burn... ]
Whatever special treatment it needs, what we have is water and bandages. Not like those have ever hurt, right?
But maybe ask your leader for proper treatment when you can. Maybe they can get you whatever you need.
Someday. [he doesn't mind sharing is the thing, but he's heard from a lot of people that his life doesn't make sense so. no lore drops without permission.]
It's better than nothing. [a sigh.] I don't know how much help my leader can give me. ...I asked them for something else, and they said it's harder for them now. After what happened with Virid.

[ cool, magic makes no sense. ]
I'll ask Blanca another time. For now... I still think you should rinse off your injuries. Could even just take a shower or something to calm down?
