[Ever since Ven returned to the village he's been on-edge... to put it lightly. Between the draft and his encounter with Vanitas, he's not only exhausted, but pretty scared at this point.

That's why, as he's making his way through the village and back towards his house, he's carrying his Keyblade with him and stopping occasionally just to make sure he's not being followed.

Just don't be surprised if he's a bit jumpy; kid's got a lot on his mind.

And when he finally makes it back home...]

You know, fighting a real war's nothing like fighting the Unversed. It's way more serious, and people die out there, on both sides... It's dangerous and kinda scary.

[He pauses for a few seconds.]

But I'm glad I could help. Even if what the Malnosso do is wrong, that battle was about more than just them. Plus, it feels good protecting people; it's a better reason to fight than just killing.

[And with that off his chest...]

How's everybody doing right now?

I never thought of it that way.

[Man, that's kind of depressing, actually.]

Guess it makes sense, though. The Malnosso probably don't care if anyone gets hurt, as long as we get the job done...

You have to wonder how well they fight off the Third Party on their own, though. People ... die when we're out there, but there have been some pretty bad situations in my own world. [Where two planets were destroyed because of one group.] We do ... really well for the amount of people they bring out there. [He's reluctant to admit it, considering he was right with someone as he died.]

It's weird to think about. They can do all kinds of experiments on us, but then they send people from the village to go out and fight their enemies. I don't mind, since we're protecting this world, but I still don't get why they'd pick people who can't defend themselves.

[...]

You're right, though; we did a good job out there. I just wish I could've done more to help.

[Especially since people did die.]

I don't really get it, either -- unless there's people even more influential than the Malnosso CEO who decides who's sent out there. They don't even have to be rational about it; if they want it done, the people under them would need to do it.

Maybe it's another one of their experiments. It'd explain the random drafts!

[Like... hm.]

What if they send us out there as some kinda test?
