I’m!!! there’s a lot of things i’m fond of here, of Even’s deliberation and inner monologue re: xehanort but let’s uh. let’s highlight some points

- Even’s literal immediate reaction is to put himeslf between Xehanort and 7. and also Riku but. Even was definitely not doing this specifically for Riku, it’s more of a “they’re my responsibility and i won’t let HIM harm them!” thing. 

- first words out of his mouth? “7 GET THE EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS”

and like!! i have a lot of Things about the emergency protocols!!! this is what Even made them for, so of course he’s going to go tell 7 to activate them, and it’s just!! I DUNNO!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! i thought fondly about this bit of the scene a lot, up until writing it (and also occasionally after writing it!! but you know how some scenes you just Think About routinely before you get them down because you just love thinking about them)

So I love that there, where Even tells 7 to activate the Emergency Protocols!! it’s something i like a lot and am proud of. 

another thing i love: “I’m not here for your Program, Even” xehanort says, because he’s not. he’s here for riku. just riku, right now. 

OF COURSE EVEN ALSO REFUSES TO HAND RIKU OVER BUT I JUST!! I’M LOVE!!!!

- all the debate about um??? Even’s just inner monologue in general. the details he gives about the emergency protocols, fretting that they’ll affect Riku, worrying that he should have assigned someone who wasn’t himself the ability to undo them. he has a handful of replicas who have the authorization to activate the protocols, but once the emergency protocols are initiated, only Even can restart the program!!! A LITTLE SNAG, THERE, IN CASES LIKE THIS, IN THE EVENT OF HIS DEATH,,,,,, presumably he’ll work around that

hey!!! i don’t really have any extra commentary for this one so uh. you won’t be getting a string of posts after this.

but knock knock fuckers it’s---
