[Lea does somewhat get that impression of Meng Yao, or at least that he could become someone dangerous if allowed to venture too far into darkness. Oddly, it also makes him wonder what Xehanort was like when he was young, before even the young version of him that was part of the new Organization. If he'd been able to see his future actions without the direct influence of Master Xehanort, or if he'd had a group of friends around him to keep him from wandering down a dangerous road, might things have been different?

No way to know, he supposed. But Meng Yao still has a chance.]

Yeah, that's one of the good things about the weird time displacement in places like this; the ability to have the benefit of hindsight for things you haven't done yet.

The fact that you've decided that that's not the kind of person you want to be is already a big step in the right direction, but if you need people to help keep you out of the dark, you can definitely count me in.

[If he can help spare another world from someone like Xehanort just by being friends with someone? He's definitely willing to give it a shot.]
