[At least the Landlord has a few more things in his house other than office supplies. More importantly,]

Yeah. A few people that the Landlord brought in, as far as I know. Their murders were broadcasted on TV in the middle of the night. He made a post on the Network with pictures of blood, like it was some kind of game.

[Roxas sounds uneasy. He lets out a deep breath.]

You're saying she works for the Landlord, but she got murdered somehow too? Did she give you any other info?

sorry i must've accidentally deleted the notif for this when i was cleaning my inbox :(

[thenextlife]

I can understand why some people don't like the guy.

[Lea makes a face, unseen, at the news. There had been mentions of something like that in some of the old reports filed at the LEU. Maybe they warrant a second look, in light of recent events.]

The so-called secretary didn't sound upset about it, like it was a game for her too. She wanted to book our appointment with the Landlord, and wondered why we were interested in meeting him. That was all.

Makes sense that the Landlord has employees... allies... whatever they may be. Running this place full time would be a lot of work for one person.

[But is the Landlord really a person? He'd sounded perfectly normal, but that isn't saying much.]

The part that really bothers me is the way you were kept separate. What do you think that could mean?

no problem!

[theotherpromise]

I don't know. He and I got into an argument before when he posted to the network, but that was just because he wasn't giving me any real answers. If you guys didn't get any from there either, I dunno what the point of leaving me out was. He could've just put me in there to mess with me, like he usually does to everyone.

[He sighs through his nose. There's a pause.]

Maybe he really isn't the only person running this? Maybe there's more than one Landlord? Quistis and I talked about there being some kind of council before. ...I dunno what's going on. I wish I did.

Anyway, you guys are all safe, right?

[thenextlife]

[Either way, the Landlord is surely messing with Roxas. And messing with Roxas = messing with Lea, so he isn't going to let this one go so easily.]

Maybe we'll find out one of these days. Who knows, digging up some of his secrets might be what makes him send us all home. [And Lea doesn't sound pleased at the prospect, but something closer to a carefully forced neutrality. Here, Roxas is his own person... has his own heart. Here, Isa is about as safe from Xehanort as he could be. There's no guarantees that any of them will even remember their time in Holly Heights once they're no longer there. Hopefully Lea can be forgiven for his conflicted feelings regarding their return home.]

Everyone made it out in one piece. It was kinda boring. [His smile can be heard in his voice.] I even made cookies for everyone on the day we woke up in a kitchen.

Meet you at the fountain in a while? There's about a week's worth of dirty dishes piled up here that I'm trying to avoid.

[theotherpromise]

[That gets Roxas to smile. He's already told Lea before: no matter how adamant he might have been about returning to Sora and how frustrated he is about the Landlord's antics, there are people here that make his stay entirely worth it, Lea included. If he's going to be kept in this box, he may as well make it worth it.]

Hope the cookies turned out okay. [He remembers the ones from the bake sale being surprisingly good.] And hopefully that means you're gonna get those dishes done before we meet up. How's an hour sound?
