Yeah... Xion was just as bad at me, but she went out anyway.

[ And she's really not happy about it. ]

[zerotohiro]

Are you kidding me? Why didn't either of you stop her?

[immobileyes]

I tried, but she wouldn't listen! And she said she'd come right back if she started feeling worse!

[zerotohiro]

People only say that if they don't mean it! [Whyyyy.] I've gotta find her and bring her back and you guys have to stay here and get better. We need you to not get worse.

[immobileyes]

I'm trying... [ it's an unhappy whine and she knows it, but really, have you tried holding back a stubborn Keyblade Wielder back when you can barely stand? It's rough. ]

I don't even think Roxas woke up for any of this, anyway.

[zerotohiro]

Has Roxas been unconscious for a while? [That's disconcerting, too.] I guess that doesn't matter, we just need to make sure the ghosts don't find you two or Xion.

[immobileyes]

He's just really tired... none of us have really been sleeping.

But I'll do my best to stop any ghosts if they come in!

[ surely this will work. ]

[zerotohiro]

I know someone who might be able to help. I bet she can help ward your apartment so the ghosts can't get near it, but you've gotta promise me you'll stay inside. [A pause.] Think Xion'll be mad if I find her and drag her back?

[immobileyes]

Yes. [ Immediately. Of course she will. ]

[zerotohiro]

Well...it's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, or whatever. [Sorry Xion.] I'll see if I can use Tadashi's birds to track her down. We've been using them to track Baymax but he's moving too fast for us to get him.

[immobileyes]

She might move fast, too... so be careful.

[ But yes, bring her back. ]

[zerotohiro]

I'll do my best...and even if I can't find her I'll come back and check on you. I promise.

[immobileyes]

... Yeah. I'll be waiting, Hiro. But absolutely don't get hurt, okay?

[zerotohiro]

Trust me, that's not gonna happen. I'll be careful. [Like more than usual. Way more than usual.]

[immobileyes]

Okay... [ SHE'S GOING TO WORRY EITHER WAY. ]

[zerotohiro]

[It's a short visit, but now with that mission he feels like he can combat his fears to at least try.] Text me if anything goes wrong. I'll be back soon.

[immobileyes]

I will.

... Thanks, Hiro.
