OK, this? Isn't funny. For a lot of reasons.

This is a new low for whoever is in charge. Consider this an official complaint.

Are you sure she is? How do we know she has that much control over what happens?

...you're... talking about Xion, aren't you?

...I think you're right. It... really shouldn't matter if it hurts. It's important. Not... probably not useful, but still.

Sorry.

She may not be an effective tyrant, but she wishes to keep us here, and she discounts our wishes. It doesn't matter how skilled she is. I have known incompetent tyrants who were nonetheless tyrants.

Yes. I am.

I believe it matters. The truth is vital. I don't care if she wouldn't want anyone to feel sad. Why shouldn't they? Believing a lie doesn't change what has happened.

There's no need to apologize to me. [Not like Kuja feels bad or anything.]

What if she's just a figurehead? Maybe there's some other power.

She wouldn't want that, but... I mean, we're going to feel sad, anyway. She's gone. Even if she weren't... gone gone, we can't be with her anymore.

[She swallows, wiping at her eyes in annoyance.]
