[ Roxas might've expected a more pessimistic response, but then again... he wasn't a very optimistic person in general. ]
You're right. Even if someone died, I don't think I could really ... I don't know, think that sort of thing is right. Just executing someone.
[ He doesn't even know how a proper justice system works, and yet he thinks this. ]
I think if I see The Lady appear tomorrow I'll try to take her down. If she's not, then...well, they can't just kill everyone just because no one's listening, and not following along with what they want.
[ You're not alone in this, makes Roxas take a breath himself.
It's weird being surrounded by well-intentioned and good people. Not that he's entirely foreign to the idea ... it's just that he doesn't expect it from strangers. ]
... Okay.
[ That sounded hilariously awkward. It's been awhile since he could honestly rely on people and that was a fact. ]
I don't know what we can really come up with that isn't going at them with all we have on such short notice...but maybe together we could really work it out.
[ Roxas doesn't seem to think that things will go well for them by trial. He's trying...but it's clear that faith in a good outcome is what he principally lacks. ]
Not saying I'm giving up...just. I know it'll be tough, that's all.

[Minato frowns a little, shoulders tense.]
And... there's definitely something we have to do about it. We can't just go along with this and send someone else to be..."executed".

[It's said softly, but there's concern in his tone and expression.]
It's not that I don't understand where you're coming from...but that could be so dangerous to you.
[He can't help but think of Akira, and the ashen look on his face when he'd gotten out of those vents.]
You can't get yourself hurt to try to save all of us.

[ Roxas ]
I'm not -
[ He then makes a face. Okay, yeah, that is in fact what it is. Even so he felt he had to do something...he hated feeling so powerless. ]
- What would even be a better idea?
no subject
But... I want to think of something too. You're not alone in this, okay?
[A slow breath in.]
I want to end this too. Somehow... some way. So let me help you find a solution.

Have faith...okay?

[It's already tough, and it's only going to remain tough.]
I don't think it's going to get any easier, either. That's why...we have to be able to depend on each other.

[ It's not an easy smile, but it's one that comes, remembering when he had first arrived here, in fact. ]

[Firmly, with a small nod.]
That's the case even now.
