[ So, a lot's happened today and Roxas did enough sulking, so it was time to maybe try to talk to someone.
There's a rap against Minato's door later in the evening. Whoever it is reveals themselves quickly, however. ]
...Can we talk for a moment?

[Minato answers the door pretty quickly, at least; he's spent most of his day seeking out the others, but after talking to a few people, he knew he has to take a breather.
He wasn't expecting someone else to come seek him out...but when he sees Roxas, he nods.]
Of course. Come in.
[A beat.]
Sorry... I don't have anything to offer in terms of tea or anything.
[His room is perfectly ordinary sans a Koromaru plushie, after all.]

I don't really want anything to eat or drink, so it's fine.
[ Not from here, after all of that.
Roxas enters and closes the door behind himself. ]
...You heard all of that, right? Do you think there's anything we can really do about it?
[ If not, then...Roxas had an idea of sorts. It wasn't a good one, but it was an idea. ]

[ 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.

... Wait a second.
[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.

There's no rule against it.
[ 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?
[ Roxas ]

[ 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.

[ A lot's happened in this week, and so many people suffered for it. But, when the execution made it's culmination, the blond stalked right out, before deciding to track down Minato after awhile.
He eventually makes it to the other's door, waiting for a moment before his hand raps firmly but gently against the door. ]
Minato? Are you there?

I'll try.
[ 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.

...Yeah.
[Minato responds after a brief moment, opening the door to let Roxas in. The execution was gruesome, and honestly the smell alone made him want to vomit--but he's stoic nonetheless, meeting Roxas' eyes with a quiet expression.]
Did you want to talk, or just the company?
[Either is entirely valid at this point in time, he thinks.]

I guess... both.
[ Roxas is getting used to talking to people again, but ... at the same time, it's not just entirely for his own benefit. Or, he'd hope so at least - mutual company can help both of them, right? ]
After seeing someone just die like that, or kind of just hearing it. [ ... ] I couldn't really watch.
[ He almost winces. He knows the others were watching and it seemed to be out of some kind of solidarity, maybe? But he just couldn't. ]

... You don't have to feel bad for that.
[Minato shakes his head firmly, expression serious.]
And you don't have to watch if you don't feel like you can. That's not... it's not a requirement, okay?
[Nobody could ever ask that of anyone.]
You can honor their memory in other ways.

...And because we're in all of this together.
[ It's not an easy smile, but it's one that comes, remembering when he had first arrived here, in fact. ]

[ ... ]
Yeah, you're right.
[ In a way they were also around...but also very dead. But, his expressions looks a little thankful Minato said that at least. ]

...everyone's been trying so hard in their own ways, no matter what's happened.
[ ...Said a little sullenly, but he knows what Minato's getting at, and he leaves it at that. ]
I think we will too. [ ... ] We're really going to all work together to make it happen. So, I hope other people realize that too, even with everything else going on.

Just look around some more, there has to be clues somewhere, right? That's what I was mostly thinking about doing.
[ He's not good at speeches but sneaking around is something he's had experience doing. ]
Or, actually...I wonder if anyone's tried getting to the top of the resort from the outside. Maybe we can enter in from a place up there that we haven't been yet if we manage or something?

[ He'll nod. ]
I don't remember her mentioning it, so maybe I could ask her. It's still something we can try checking out, though.
