[It's not the answer he expected, and he's quiet for a little while, considering. She doesn't seem like the sort of person who's seen anything horrible in her entire life--and really, that's on him for making assumptions. He should know better than that.
He can't share her point of view, but he does incline his head slightly to acknowledge it.]
...I hope you're right. [About Sora, and Kairi. About the world being beautiful, instead of the cold, lonely darkness he's grown used to.]
[ Yeah, that's how she wants to seem. Sparkling, like she has no troubles, like she can't be troubled, if only so that one person won't ever feel bad for looking after her.
But it's not like she wasn't listening to that message from Sora and Kairi. ]
Emotions at full drive are powerful. I hope I'm right, too, wahaha!
[ Not that Sei knows you spend entire KH games going to murder town. ]
[It's fine. Sora and Kairi have a gunbird and they know how to use it. (Riku's bat may or may not have been hanging out with Leo this whole time, I don't know.)
Alright. [Hopefully he'll... who knows. Get the other "half of a way" or something. Anything would be better than what he has right now, which is a burning desire to protect two people who were kind to him when they didn't have to be, and not much else.] I'm going to go look for them. If I discover anything, I'll let you know.
[He smiles, but even with his eyes obscured, it's easy to tell there's no genuine humor in it. He doesn't, however, say anything self-deprecating like "that makes one of us". Instead, very calmly--]
If one of us here is responsible, they had better hope that I find them first.
[Well! That's reassuring. But with a nod, he'll head off to go find Sora and Kairi and. idk. Make sure that it's a shoebill and they didn't get their hands on a glock I guess.]

He looks at the cash register again.]
You said it gave you a clue?

A way to find a clue. Kinda. Half of a way.
