In any case, it makes one wonder whether their experiment with you was successful or not. For what value is there in the ability to make one lose all hope? That is what occurred, isn't it?
I do. [Uncertain] A very long time ago, when I was in the Persian city of Azad, there was a... [Breaks off]
Something terrible occurred, and as a consequence, the bodies of my companions and those of my father's court changed to consist entirely of sand. Now, seeing this...I cannot help but wonder if there might not have been a like event here, in Paixao, but with Light, instead, as the contaminant.

They... What?! S-sand? But that doesn't... I mean, how does... I don't know who or what you guys made angry but whatever it was don't bring it here. We got enough problems without everyone turning into sand. I think you might be on to something though. Maybe something came here and affected everyone here the same way the Organization did me. Of course, that still leaves the question; who or what did it?
[Defensively] Look, I've been through a lot, alright? When I'm ready to revisiting those memories I will. Besides, it's not like any of the citizens are that kind of hopeless. They just don't know how to stand up for themselves very well, think for themselves. Makes a lot them easy to boss around.

Very well, very well. I understand. Also, you make a good point. What appeared to happen to you goes beyond the passivity I have observed in Paixaoan citizens...but I apologize--I do not mean to recall to you unpleasant memories.
