[he doesn't mind the squirrel hopping over to his shoulder and in fact turns just a little so it can see naib better. likewise, sora's simply staring at him because that's probably the most he's ever heard naib say, like, at all. and it's not really a sentiment he disagrees with either.

naib's at least taking care of himself wound-wise and it makes sora less anxious, but instead he's thinking that over. it's pretty obvious that he also misinterpreted this as "giving up their lives" because of where his head's constantly at these days, but...putting it into perspective helps.]

Right. There can be good and bad in everything. Like he said, rain can be depressing because it's all dark and gloomy...it can cause a lot of damage when there's a lot of it. [it can destroy a whole world, sometimes.] But at the end, it helps things grow, too. Everyone's lives are different.

[and he's about to say something because sometimes you really have concerns about your companion who basically just said his soul was withered, but then naib is knocking on a crystal and whatever the fuck is going on here suddenly pops out. excuse him for backing up just a little, immediately on the defense. he'll get back to the glyphs in a moment.]

A Heartless? [HOW.]
