Chapter Text
"You're going to Castle Oblivion?"
"The plan is about to begin."
"Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it. Just don't blow your cover, k?"
"Just… come back safe so I don't need to be undercover anymore, ok?"

Demyx strummed his sitar in the grey room as usual. Xigbar normally would sit with him and make snarky remarks about the tune, but today was a busy day with most of the members on jobs. All except the member that everyone knew was too lazy and weak to actually get one done, that is.
"What do you mean they're DEAD?"
His fingers almost slipped off the strings as he was startled by the youngest member's outburst.
"The members assigned to Castle Oblivion were all terminated," Saix's calm voice stated.
It was getting harder to breathe, but Demyx strummed on, not allowing his relaxed demeanor to slip. According to every other member, Demyx hadn't gotten along with any members that had been sent off on the mission. Zexion and Vexen didn't appreciate his carefree ways, Axel spent all of his time with Roxas and Xion, Lexaeus was a good listener when Demyx played but they never made any conversation, and Marluxia and Larxene….
Demyx barely noticed when Roxas stormed out. He couldn't blame him. If he could, he would be running off too. His fingers continued moving, however, never letting the tune waver and reveal how terrified he was about the outcome of his friends mission.
