He blinked but didn't correct the name, the weasel that wasn't a weasel didn't seem to mind either and jumped onto her wire frame. "He is, but he probably gots to do what the bad people say because they're his bosses. We can't stop it but we just got to keep our spirits up until it's over."

Yotsuba laughed as the creature jumped at her, and she moved Juralumin to one hand and tried to catch it with her free one. However, that information made her smile fade a little.

"But..we're good people! Most of us are! Can't we stop them somehow?"

"They got lots of power, but the best way we can stop them is by being brave and making sure no one is too sad. Because they like making people cry and if we make sure everyone's not too scared then they lose." Romeo reached out a wiry hand for hers as the foil copy of Piccolo moved to sit on the girls head.

Yotsuba took Romeo's hand, smiling a little as the animal crawled onto her head. She didn't know what kind of animal it was, but Yotsuba loved them, so the questions would be coming out in a moment.

"Okay..but it's hard to not cry sometimes! Yotsuba would have cried..if my eyes were normal. And what sort of animal is Pinocchio?"

"It is, but that's why we got to try really really hard." He told her, squeezing her hand. "He's a weasel! Though he looks a bit funny at the moment!"

Yotsuba felt that squeeze and smiled, but she didn't think to return it, since Romeo seemed to be doing fine. "Okay. Yotsuba will try hard then! And I know about weasels! They're really cool..and that's okay! Juralumin doesn't look normal either!"

"Nothing looks normal but it will be okay!" He raised both their arms into the air, keeping their spirits up. "He's a really nice weasel and a great friend! I bet Juralumin is a good friend too!"

Well, Yotsuba wasn't quite expecting that, but that didn't meant that she hated it. On the contrary. She was actually starting to cheer up. "I'm sure he is! Animals are cool..and most of them are nice! And Juralumin is a good friend! Say hello, Juralumin!"

With that, Yotsuba would raise her 'teddy bear' up a bit, as if it was going to introduce herself. Yotsuba, pretending to hear her, nodded. "She said hello!"

"Hello Juralumin." He said back waving at the foil teddy bears. "Do you got any other friends Yotsuba? Do you want to find them?"

Yotsuba nodded as she lowered Juralumin again. "I do! There's Diarmuid and Edgeworth and Kyoko and Enoch and Saki! Do you know where they are?"

"Oh I know mister Diarmuid and mister Enoch!" He moved down the corridor, "I don't know where they are though."

"Oh! That's good!" Yotsuba followed Romeo down the corridor, still smiling as Romeo spoke. "That's okay! You'll see them soon! They're super smart and super strong, so they'll help!"

"They are! There's lots of strong people here and if we all work together we will be able to make everyone happy again."

..Everyone? Even the bad people? Yotsuba looked a little puzzled as she tried to put this together.

"Even if we work with the bad people? And who are we working for?"

"Well some people are actually good people pretending to be bad. But the really bad people wont want to join us anyways." He shrugged.

"All of us! To save us all, we haven't really got a boss."

"But..why would they pretend to be bad? It's not good to be bad!" While that was pretty obvious, Yotsuba still felt the need to point it out. She couldn't see why anyone would pretend to be bad. Why would anyone pretend they hated her as they killed her?

However, she did get the second part. "Oh! I understand! We're all working for everyone! We're all our own boss!"

"It's not but sometimes they got to, and sometimes they think it's better if people think they're bad. So we gotta help them learn that being good is better and then they will stop pretending." Just like mister Itachi had, though thinking of mister Itachi made him really sad.

He nodded, "We are!"

While Yotsuba was all for helping them understand that being good was better, she still didn't understand a few points.

"Okay..but why do they have to? And why would they think it's better?"

"Well they just do. Grown ups are weird and think funny things sometimes. But one time the bad people swapped all our bodies round and I ended up in this bad persons body but I gotted all his memories and really he was just trying to look after his little brother. But because everything around him was so bad he became a really bad person, because he didn't want his brother to get hurt." He explained to her sadly.

While Yotsuba would agree with the fact that grown-ups sometimes thought weird things sometimes, she was having a hard time wrapping her brain around being bad to protect someone when others were being bad.

"But..how was being bad when other people were being bad going to help his brother?"

"Because they would have hurt his brother if he wasn't bad." He squeezed her hand again.

"He stopped pretending to be bad when he was here. Because the bad people are really really bad here."

Yotsuba smiled, not just because of the squeeze, but because she understood Romeo's explanation. At least, she thought she did.

"Oh! I understand now! The people that would have hurt his brother aren't here, even if they are bad! So he doesn't have to pretend!"

"Yes." Romeo nodded, even though that wasn't all of it. It was hard to explain though and Romeo only understood it because he had mister Itachi's memories.

"When we all get back to normal Yotsuba, do you want to come to a meeting of our club? It's for all the kids in the tower so we can work together and be strong and beat the bad people. My friend Ken is the leader, he's really really great!"

Even though Yotsuba didn't know about the rest of it, this explanation was enough for her. However, Romeo's offer pulled her attention from whatever Romeo's friend might have been, and her smile grew. If her eyes had been normal, they would have been like gems.

"Yotsuba wants to beat the bad people! I want to join!"

"Great! I'll make sure to tell you when the next meeting is. If we all work together we'll beat the bad people in no time. I bet you've got loads of good ideas as well." He squeezed her hand again happily.
