I guess I still need help renovating Chez Nobody. It looks like it used to be five stories. If we could rebuild it, we'd have another secure home for people in case of an attack. I haven't seen any rats around, thankfully, and the drawings are gone. Still can't help but think something's still coming our way.

...You know, maybe we should think about that Council idea, again. It might help the city to have a more open way of helping everyone here, and everyone will be heard at some point. Couldn't hurt, could it?

Sora, are you out there? You've been quiet.

[Private to Henry and Eileen | Unhackable]

Tell me anything you can about Walter and the Sacraments, please. I need to know.

[Private to Axel | Unhackable]

Up for some killing?

[Private to Lucifer | Unhackable]

Let's have that talk now.

[Private to Self | Unhackable]

The Heartless are getting stronger and nastier by the day. It's like those dreams just made them more powerful overnight. If there's too many of them, they'll enter the city. Riku, Sora and Kairi have been quiet. Maybe...Maybe they went home. If they did, I'd be grateful. They don't deserve to be here.

Riqis has been with Naminé a lot recently. Hm. I guess...that's just how it is.

Trust me, I know a thing or two about traitors.

So do I.

So we're just supposed to sit around and work for ourselves? Some of us aren't that selfish.

It's not about being selfish, it's about surviving.

If you can help someone while doing what you gotta do, then fine, you can do it, just not get out of your way to go help people left and right and forgetting about your own needs.

That's just foolish, you know?

But it's not forgetting about our own needs. We're just seeing who also needs help. If there's an idea, we can all consider it. If someone's caught for doing wrong, we all have a say on what to do.

I'm just sayin' that it's not gonna work.

But if you think it will bring some peace of mind to some, well, go ahead and try it.

It's supposed to help, not just bring peace of mind a few.

You will never manage to make people agree.

We can agree to disagree. That's still agreeing.

And telling me I can't do something isn't going to stop me. Sorry.

And that's still going back to square one, too.

Hey, hey-- Just saying. Your call in the end, it's not really my problem, you know? Just sharin' a thought.

I have a little more faith in the people here than you do.

I know. I appreciate the opinion, at least.

People will do what they need to do to survive. That's just the way it goes.

No problem.

You make it sound like they don't think about others instead. Is that what it's like, being a Turk?

[A pause.

...] It's a survival rule. Pretty simple.

I know survival. I was taught to do things for the good of a group, for a collective goal, not to do things for myself.

That will only get you killed. Workin' in group? All fine and good, but if you don't look after your own back, no one else will. It's just how it goes.

People will watch over their own back before they watch others'. If they don't, they will die while the others survive.

Can't go against that, as good as your intentions might be, you know?

You can look after others and yourself at the same time, you know.

That's what I meant with giving someone a hand if it was in your way. You can help and look after others whenever, just when it comes down to it, really down to it, and you gotta make choices - You gotta pick your own back first.
