[Knock knock, Roxas. There's someone else at Kahve's back door.]

[? That's weird. No one should be trying to get into the back right now. But politeness and curiosity compel him to open the door and find-]

Terra? Hey. What are you doing here?

I saw your message while I was waiting for the last kid to get picked up. [He shrugs, glancing around Roxas at the boxes.] Looked like you could use some help.

Oh, yeah...heh. [Awkward chuckle is pretty awkward.] They're kind of heavy. [Can swing around a Keyblade with one hand; defeated by boxes of coffee beans.]

[Terra will wade through this awkwardness admirably. He is a man on a mission.]

What did the others have to say about that Nobody?

[You're the best, bigpants.]

Riku said that King Mickey told him there's a chance someone can go back to normal if their Heartless and Nobody are both destroyed.

[He tries, notven. He tries. Watch as he heads over to have a look at those troublesome boxes.]

A chance?

[A good chance, a small chance?]

[Terra vs. boxes. Round one. FIGHT!]

I don't think they've ever actually seen it happen. And we'd have to find the right Heartless first. But I guess it makes sense.

[He has no idea if it does or not, but Riku seemed to think so.]

[First box is up! ... Wait, where does Roxas want him to put the boxes? He looks back to his friend for instructions.]

Is that the plan then? Find and destroy the Heartless and the Nobody? [And hope for the best?]

[Oh, right.] These ones go over here, and this other group there. [Pointing, gesturing.]

Yeah. I'm gonna see if anyone wants to team up tonight or tomorrow. We'll cover more ground that way. [And he's still a little nervous about going out alone.]

[Yes, sir. Right away, sir. He nods as he moves the first box over to where it needs to be.]

Good idea. You mentioned you thought the Heartless was responsible, didn't you?

[Good job, bigpants. You get a 10% raise.]

Yeah. The Heartless started showing up after he did. And that's how Nobodies are made-from people with strong hearts. It wouldn't have been Xemnas; he can control Nobodies, but he can't make them.

[He pauses briefly in his 'work' after the mention of strong hearts.]

It could have been Xehanort again.

Maybe. I don't think it's as likely, but it's not like we could get a straight answer.

It doesn't matter anyway. No one should ever be stuck like that.

Yeah.

[Lifting things up and putting them down. He agrees, more or less, that it doesn't matter: both the Heartless and the Master have to be stopped.]

We'll put things right.

[From the side, he looks up at Terra, and a thought that's been percolating for a while now slides slowly into place.]

Yeah. We will. No one else can.
