Well...

Fix this world's hurt. I mean... that's what we're supposed to do, right?

[Not to mention it feels like the right thing to do.]

[key_illusion]

If you want to believe that, then yes.

How do you plan to fix it?

[abovetheprogram]

... I don't know yet. I keep trying to see if there are any back doors anywhere, but I can't find them.

[He's starting to think they aren't there, actually]

If that doesn't work, then I'll find another way.

[key_illusion]

I thought you would have figured it out by now, but you really are slow.

You won't find any back doors here.

If you want to bring life to this city, the key is emotion.

[IT'S NOT HIS FAULT HE DOESN'T GET TECHNOLOGY... okay maybe he shouldn't have spaced out during Riku's explanation BUT STILL

While he doesn't appreciate being called slow any more than the next person, helping this world is more important.]

Emotion...? Like feeling things? But don't we already feel things all the time?

[Is there something special he needed to do? He doesn't get it.]

[key_illusion]

I suppose you could say that, but it seems the Gods' goal here is to provoke stronger emotions to bring color back at a faster pace.

Anything will do: happiness, anger, sadness.

I'm surprised no one told you this to begin with. It seems like I'm playing guide. [Again.]

[abovetheprogram]

Okay...

[He isn't sure he likes the implications of the gods trying to make any emotions, but right now he's more focused on something else]

So... What do we do?

[There has to be something more than just... waiting for the gods to make them feel things, right?]

[key_illusion]

It's more like what do you do.

I don't care for this world, and dealing with its hurt isn't my responsibility.

[abovetheprogram]

What? You don't want to help or anything?

[key_illusion]

I think I'm doing my part by helping you, aren't I? [Just like back in the datascape.]

Other than that, no. I don't care.

[abovetheprogram]

But... why are you helping me? Who are you?

[Because come to think about it, he doesn't think he's ever answered that.]

[key_illusion]

Because I'd like to meet you. Maybe not now, but in the future.

[And still not answering that last bit.]

[abovetheprogram]

Why not now?

...Will you tell me who you are then?

[key_illusion]

It's not the right time. [Mostly because he still needs to blow off some steam.]

Does it really matter?
