12. Blind Trust

"You'll visit me after this whole Castle Oblivion thing, right?" He couldn't tell the truth. He should have, because it would be a thousand times easier.

"Whatever," but he can't tell the truth, and this is when he realizes that he has changed (he's not sure whether to say it's a good or bad thing).


He knows that Castle Oblivion will be a disaster. He thinks that everyone being sent there knows, somehow, that they might and probably won't return. Zexion has felt this way for some time now. There's a looming sense of impending doom overshadowing the prospect of living somewhere other than this godforsaken place for another. If he could, he would simply take Demyx and flee, run from this fate that threatened to swallow everything he had ever worked for.

He doesn't know what love is for sure anymore, but he knows he wants to stay for Demyx, to be held a few more times, but at noon tomorrow, a mere eleven hours away, he must leave.

He would make the best of the time he had.
