... Of course you did. You're way too much like one of them, after all.

[ He shakes his head and shrugs, a sort of ironic smirk on his lips. ]

Don't you have people you'd rather be actual friends with?

[messianic]

[One of who...?]

... No, I'm sure of it. This is where I want to be right now.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He releases a sigh after a couple of seconds. ]

Right... There wasn't much point in asking that.

[ There's a pause as he goes over everything that could possibly have this guy coming to check on him. He's going to start wiiiiith: ]

For the record, that game doesn't bother me. [ CASUAL SHRUG ] Even if it comes down to needing to take on anyone here, it wouldn't be the first time I've fought to the death.

[messianic]

[...that's alarming!!]

You know...even if you've been through it before, that doesn't mean it won't still bother you...

[...]

You're allowed to be concerned over the situation too, you know...?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ That gets a soft snort. ]

If I did die here- [ a barely noticeable pause ] -it'd just be a repeat of what was already happening, back home. Dying itself doesn't scare me, and I'm incapable of giving a shit about anyone else.

[ Now he's giving a vague gesture. ]

... Granted, I fully intend to make use of this second chance.

[messianic]

[Vanitas...]

...What do you want to do with it, then? That second chance, I mean.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ There's just a small, humorless smile. He's suddenly summoning the Keyblade, only to stare hard at it. ]

First, I'll be doing whatever I can to get away from here, behind-the-scenes game aside.

[ He doesn't care whatever happens to the rest of these people. He just needs to get out of here. ]

[messianic]

[Not a flicker of reaction at that keyblade. Huh.]

... Of course... I don't think anyone would want to stay here for long.

[Not in this situation.]

And then...?

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He shrugs. ]

And then there's the everything that's for me to know.

[ Welp, guess it's back to being cagey... ]

[messianic]

... Okay.

[He won't complain or argue it.]

I can respect that. I'll leave it alone, then.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He studies Minato for a moment. ]

Do you always give up so easily?

[messianic]

[A peaceful shake of his head.]

I'm not giving up.

[Rather--]

But it's obvious you don't want to talk about it. So I won't press.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ ...

His eyes narrow a bit, and then he looks away. ]

Fair enough.

[ There's the hint of an awkward air falling around him as he goes quiet. ]

[messianic]

[It's fine, it's fine... Minato doesn't look too bothered. Instead, he offers Vanitas a small, quiet smile.]

You don't have to really talk with me or anything, but...do you mind if I hang around a bit? Just for the company.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ He's always asking permission, always acting like he cares. It's... annoying...

Vanitas releases a quiet huff, shrugging. ]

If this is the kind of company you really like.

[messianic]

It is.

I wouldn't still be here if I didn't feel that way.

[Minato's a simple boy!!

So.

He falls silent after that, seemingly content with Vanitas' acceptance, scant as it may be.]
