"[i]We[/i] want to use you as a weapon?!" Tocsax's voice was growing louder, the young man was clearly offended. "Let me make this clear: You know nothing of being [i]actually[/i] used as a thing, a tool, lied to so that you can be kept on an imaginary leash. You know nothing of being used to unleash the Heartless on innocent worlds, of fighting honorable and kind warriors who were only trying to kill you - me - because you - I - were a danger to them and those whom they loved. You know nothing of the years it took me to find out that I should have been rebelling, and you certainly only have a secondhand account of how, when I finally rose in revolt, I lost, and lost people I counted friends as well!" He was hyperventilating now, livid.

The young Nobody then noticed that Seth had returned, and greeted him with a curt nod, as well as an apology. 

"Seth," spoke Tocsax, "sorry for punishing you first. Now, can you protect Mai?" Yes, he had noticed the girl's actions. He would then turn towards v2, smiling: 

"Well, if you're taking his side despite what he said about you, then we can change Drake's punishment. However, as Gene Therapy is a thing as well as still covered by science, this is not the end of the notion of destroying the Shadow Nexus." Tocsax would then look Drake in the eye again, trying to see if the anger was still building up. Then, he would cross his arms, and continue with his judgement, though not before taking some more time to think.

"All right, we'll treat your Shadow Nexus side as a genetic disease for now, and from my knowledge, there are medicines that can suppress the symptoms and effects of genetic disorders. This, however, is something I'll need Cheese's help for, as well as v2's; Cheese because she knows how to make...non-scientific compounds and items, and v2 because his databanks ought to contain the scientific knowledge I need. Agathe can also help." Another look at Seth.

"But," the Keyblade-wielding Nobody would say, "we cannot let your attempt to indiscriminately murder us pass. Apokaukos told me you were a mercenary, but decided to forego payment as you thought that this cause was worthy enough. That is something I respect. However, you're going to be helping Seth clean the toilets from now on, as well as be the official combat trainer for anyone not Mai; she's my pupil. This means that you're going to be the sparring partner of Mac, Cheese, and Ryteb, with the customary amount of exercise pains."

"Would that be better?" Tocsax genuinely asked, facing Cheese this time. "Or are you still threatening to strangle me?"
