Namine smiled, "Alright."
They walked to the station in silence and boarded the train once more. The whistle blew and they were soon speeding off, Namine stared out the window as she did last time.
"It's funny how different a place looks with just a little change of lighting." She thought aloud, trying to strike up a conversation.

"Yeah. That's why this place is called Twilight Town. It's supposed to be a complete balance between light and darkness. Kind of like me. But one little change in that balance and the effects are drastically obvious." Roxas laughs to himself a little. "Sorry. I must sound like an old man or something, huh?"

Namine laughed and shook her head.
"No not at all!" The train then jerked to a stop and the two of them would scuttle out. The journey back to the mansion seamed alot like the journey from the mansion- quiet. Namine's feet crunched on the few fallen leaves and twigs on the forest floor. She grinned and glanced over at Roxas while poking him in the side.

Roxas looks at her with confusion.
"What? What is it, Namine?" he said as he rubbed where she poked him.

Namine laughed and shrugged.
"Oh, nothing." She sighed as the tall cast iron gate of the mansion came into view.

Roxas understood what she was going through. They both knew not long after they step inside the the mansion they would have to part ways for a while. Then something strikes his memory.
"Oh! I almost forgot. I got this in case we ever met like this again." He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a silver locket necklace. "I don't have a picture of you so I had to try to draw one. I'm not as good as you but I did my best."
He hands the open locket to Namine. One side with a picture of Roxas and the other with his drawing of Namine.

Namine took the locket and smiled.
"It's beautiful Roxas!" She placed the locket around her neck and held it in her hands. Namine pulled out her sketch pad and tore out the picture that she had drew earlier of Roxas.
"Here. Now we'll each of something to remember each other by!" She carefully handed the picture to him and placed her hands behind her back as they walked inside. She stared up at the door he would have to go through to get to the other Twilight Town. She looked over at Roxas, abit more hopeful this time but sad none the less.
"So, I guess this is goodbye. For now!"

Roxas lets out a deep sigh.
"Actually... there's something I need to talk to you about."

Namine shifted her weight to the other foot and blinked,
"Alright..."

He takes her arm and guides her to the stairs.
"You may want to sit down for this. It's kind of a lot to take in."

Namine couldn't help but laugh. They had both been through alot and so it couldn't be that bad. She quickly took her laughter back. Roxas looked troubled and she knew if something was so wrong that it bothered Roxas it had to be something important. They made their way up to her White Room, where she sat down quietly at the table and awaited for him to begin.

He lets out another heavy sigh.
"The thing is...I'm...rebuilding the Organization. Once we became whole I wanted other Nobodies to experience what it was like. And...well...Axel told me what happened at Castle Oblivion and how Marluxia tried to use your abilities to manipulate peoples' memories. I never want that to happen again. I'm worried that future members of the Organization, which I have renamed 'Heart of Nothing,' will try to use you again. The bottom line is that if you see anyone who could possibly be in the Heart of Nothing I want you to stay away from them. I'd never be able to forgive myself if something like that happened to you again..."

Namine flinched when he mentioned he was rebuilding the organization. Her composure after wards remained cool.
"You seam more worried about it then I am." Namine tried to smile as she stared down at the table.
"Don't worry! You have my word that I will stay as far away as I can from any 'Heart of Nothing's'!" Namine placed one hand over her heart and held her other one up as if she was actually pledging.
"... ... Axel's alive?"

"I don't know how, but yeah. Surprised me too. And I'm glad to hear that you'll stay away from them. And if you're wondering why I renamed it 'Heart of Nothing' when we Nobodies don't have hearts is because when Sora and I separated a small portion of his heart was separated along with me, so I am somewhat semi-whole. Then I appointed myself the new leader of the Organization. Kinda ironic, huh?"
Roxas laughs to himself in a pathetic attempt to relieve some of the tension.

"Oh I see...yes, a little!" Namine mused to herself. She looked sympathetically up at Roxas.
"Running the organization must be stressful." Namine grimaced as she suppressed the memories of Xemnas. She quickly added a light hearted air to her speech to cover her frown up,
"Looks like you could use a good nights rest!"
